Priceless

The first part of this week I was really motivated to save money!! I made my own laundry soap, my own fabric softener, my own dish soap, hand soap and glass cleaner. I have a calendar that I keep information on to know who is doing what when and where each day, so on this calendar I have added the date (circled at the bottom) that I made all of these items and have broken down the cost I want to see how long the items will last and of course to know exactly how much I am saving! Not to mention that the husband thinks I am crazy and that their is no way to make your own of these items and to save money at the same time. Well I showed him-I washed the bathroom towels. No nothing sneaky about doing that now is there??????????? Of course there is, I have bought the Tide/Cheer laundry soap and the Downy fabric softener before. The towels always seem a little rough no matter what I have tried, I mean we are talking that I was wanting to trash the things and get new ones, but the fact that I have only had these towels for five years that was not going to be happening anytime too soon if you know what I mean. Well anyhow, I washed the towels put them away and the hubby had no clue until this morning when he took his shower, grabbed a towel and asked me what I did. He could not get over how soft those towels are! So for the small amount of work to prepare all of the items I am just thrilled that I am saving money, my clothes feel great, PRICELESS!
