"Come what may, and love it!......Yet in spite of discouragement and adversity, those who are happiest seem to have a way of learning from difficult times, becoming stronger, wiser, and happier as a result." ~ Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

Make your own laundry soap ($.03 a load)


Here's how to make your own laundry soap for as little as $.03 per load (depending on how much you pay for soap). Don't forget to use coupons.

RECIPE
***************************************
2 Cups finely shredded bar soap (about one 4.5oz bar) I use Ivory
1 Cup Arm & Hammer Super washing soda
1 Cup 20 Mule Team Borax

Each batch makes 4 cups laundry detergent and cost approx. $.95 to $1.00 to make. Use 2 Tablespoons per load and you'll get 32 loads per batch. I just made 6 batches so I won't have to do it for a while. Works great, try it! The time is worth the savings.

I've seen this recipe before. Does it get clothes really clean? Do you use it on the boy's clothes? I still use stuff for sensitive skin for S. What do you store it in?
Sorry for the 20 questions.
