I made my own detergent!

general, Uncategorized
You may remember that back in July 2009 I asked -"What do you use to clean your clothes?" In that post, I mentioned how much I really like Fels-Naptha bar soap as a pre-treater and the Duggar family - now "19 kids and counting" - use it to make their own homemade detergent. See the recipe in my earlier post HERE. Back in October 2009, I did just that I made my own laundry detergent. I have plenty and still do of regular Purex, Tide and others that I purchased almost FREE or close to it but this idea of making my own sounded so appealing I had to try it.

How do you calculate your grocery or drugstore savings?

Financial, general, Uncategorized
I'm curious, how do you calculate your grocery or drugstore savings? Do you calculate it based on regular retail prices? Do you calculate it based on sale prices? How do you calculate it using your reward points /bucks/ rewards? I've been trying to figure this out for a while.  We save a lot each year on so many things!  We don't ever buy toothpaste, razors, and other household products just because I can get it FREE or really cheap.   I know I'm saving a lot because of that but how much am I really saving per trip? What formula do you use?  I plan to find a couple formulas and post them here. Source Img:  All You magazine
