I made my own laundry soap. It actually works very well. It doesn't have the strong perfume smells of store bought, but everything smells clean. I'm now thinking about making my own shower gel.
We also now eat leftovers. DH has NEVER been one to do that, but he is now.
I love this post, its a great place to get ideas on how to not waste any money. I recently read the book "Total Money Makeover", I'm waiting for DH to read it, but am hopeful to implement this in our lives.
