[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 98094, member: 3647"] GG, I'm with you. Clothes get washed when you can see the dirt, smell the dirt, or when the pants can stand up on their own. Most detergent does not require the amount stated on the bottle. A little less here, a little less there, and before you know it, you've got an extra 4 or 5 loads out of a bottle. Same thing goes for the fabric softener, as Mom to 3 stated. Last year, I was broke as a joke. For Christmas I made body scrub for all the ladies on my list. I bought a jar for each lady at the dollar store. I mixed up in a bowl: raw sugar peanut oil honey little bit of orange juice tiny bit of sweet almond oil I don't have the exact amounts. You want a lot of sugar, enough to fill each jar about 3/4 way; enough oil to cover each pile of sugar; honey and orange juice combined to fill the rest of the container; and almond oil for the scent. Literally a tsp for the whole shebang, and I made 8 jars. Anyways. Mix it all up, and before it settles, scoop it into each jar. Close the jars and clean them off. Decorate the jars if you feel so inclined. [/QUOTE]
