Good morning all! I am asking for a little help! 🙂 I am going to start a blog post about saving money using things that are home made!!! This can range from home made dish soap to how to make home made microwave popcorn! We all have ways that we know how to do certain things and I would like to have a place we can go to share it with others!! No idea is too big or small!! Please leave me a comment with specific instructions or recipe’s or you can email me at 2sisterssavingcents@gmail.com.
Thank you so much!!!

SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA!
My mom is making laundry soap but I want to see how it comes out before I share. Thanks for the giveaway!
Laundry Soap 1 part borax
1 part washing soda
Mix together and use about 1 Tbs per medium load of wash.
Baby Wipes #1
1 roll of paper towels, cut in half so they’re shorter
1 baby wipes container or something similar
1/4 cup baby bath soap
water, about 2 cups
Baby Wipes #2 with Oil
1 roll of paper towels, cut in half so they’re shorter
1 baby wipes container or something similar
2 Tbs baby bath soap
1 Tbs baby oil
water, about 2 cups
For either, mix the liquids together. Put the paper towels in the container and pour the soap and water (and oil) mix over them.
my favorite way to save money is on cleaning supplies.i use white vinager on almost everything i clean.it takes hard water stains better then any thing and you can also add it to your wash and act as a softner.i also take it in the summer time and mix it with water and spray the front of my house to keep the flies and gnats away.i use it for alot of things.other then that i use coupons with sale items to save a whoel lot of money.
WOW THANKS I DIDNT KNOW YOU COULD USE IT OUT SIDE TO KEEP FLYS AWAY AWESOME
I read somewhere a lil while ago all the things you could use vinegar for, saves a lot of money!
thanks for that tip
I f you need to polish silver you can use the inside of a banana peel. Great way to have the kids help without worrying about chemicals.
You can also use ketchup to clean copper bottomed pans.
My mom found a recipe (and I think she had heard of it a long time ago) about making your own laundry soap using borax soap and some other things. I think this is a great idea! If I find the recipe, I will paste it to you <3
I think that’s a good idea! Handmade soaps, detergent, etc. I’m all for it!
You can use lotion as a frizz serum. I use it when my hair is in a ponytail and I have flyaways!
I would love to find a lotion recipe for sensitive skin.
Thanks for doing this:-) Happy Holidays.
that’s a great idea!!!
If you have pans that have that Yucky sticky ick on the bottom of it that is just so hard to scrub out, then boil the pan with some water in the bottom of it, once it cames to a boil, take a teaspoon of baking soda and put it in the pan while boiling, be careful thou, it does bubble up alot, then take to the sink and wash out, all that Yucky grit now come right off! :0)
I dont know about any myself.but i sure have learned a few from others comments.thank you I am going to watch this and see others great things that help cut back on cost.
Wow this sounds like a great idea I don’t have any to help you out however LOL
I am always happy for new ideas!
I think you have came up with a GREAT idea!!!
I have a cheap way of making some of the best choc chip cookies. Started doing it 28 yrs ago when my son couldn’t get enough cookies. A white cake mix, 3 eggs, 1/3 cup oil, choc chips. Mix together, put in preheated 350 degree oven and bake 9-11 mins on a greased cookie sheet! AWESOME!!
I can’t wait to read all the wonderful ideas that people give you!!
That sounds like a very good idea! I know I could put some of those kinds of things to good use!
Scrub stained plastic storage containers (from, say, tomato sauce or the like) with a paste of lemon juice and baking soda. To make the paste, add just enough lemon juice to the baking soda to give it a consistency that will not run if applied to a vertical surface.
Renew old sponges, nylon scrubbers, and scrub brushes by soaking them overnight in a solution of 4 tbsp baking soda to 1 qt water.
I <3 make it yourself recipes! I am just starting out myself, wish I had some great ideas. GREAT $$$ saver! Ty!
Oatmeal Playdough
Materials
1 part flour
1 part water
2 parts oatmeal
Bowl
Directions
Combine all ingredients in a bowl; mix well and knead until smooth.
This playdough is not intended to be eaten, but it will not hurt a child who decides to taste it.
Store covered in refrigerator.
Your child can make this playdough without help; however, it doesn’t last as long as cooked playdough.
Sounds fantastic!!
Sugar body scrub: 1/2 white sugar, 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Use it in the tub after you cleanse, but be careful, the tub might get slippery!
Peppermint foot scrub: Same recipe as above, but add 3 drops of peppermint essential oil!
Lavender spray: 2 cups of distilled water, a few drops of lavender essential oil (add more or less according to preference). You can spray this on pillows or on your body!
Use a teaspoon of honey and a teaspoon of sugar for a great lip exfoliator!
souinds like a lot of fun
