Ideas that I've found that work...Kinda paying it forward

http://www.howdoesshe.com/cheaper-and-better-diy-laundry-detergent/

I've decided to post these websites of items I found that really work.  The link above is for homemade laundry detergent (powder).  I made some of it this past June, and I still have quite a bit left.  In the directions, it says to grate the bar soap, but I found that using soap flakes works just as well plus you don't have to grate the soap like cheese.  I found a "recipe" for liquid detergent that I'd like to try, but I'm going to use all of the powdered stuff first.  Most of the ingredients I found at Wal-Mart or Kroger.  Over the course of the year though, I've restocked on certain things as I find them on sale.  The powdered detergent made for great Christmas gifts, especially those that I know that are in college or on a single income.

Give it a try, you might be surprised.
