For starters, you can save a lot of money each year by using our tips for 5 household items you should never buy:
1. Foaming Hand Soap
Add one tablespoon of concentrated soap, such as Dawn dish liquid to a foaming soap bottle. Fill the container with water and shake! Add more or less soap, depending on how you like it. This eliminates the need to buy hand soap!
2. Hair Detangler
Add up to one tablespoon of conditioner to a spray bottle and fill with water. Shake and spray onto tangled hair. Comb through hair! This eliminates the need to buy detangling spray!
3. Clorox Germ Killing Surface Spray
Add 1.5 teaspoons of Clorox to a 22-oz. spray bottle and fill with water. Shake and use on hard surfaces! Kills 99% of germs! This eliminates the need to buy expensive germ killing sprays and surface cleaners for the kitchen and bathroom.
4. Fabric Wrinkle Releaser
Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of liquid fabric softener to a spray bottle and fill with water. Shake and use spray on wrinkled clothing. Works best on cottons and wrinkle free dress clothes.
This eliminates the need for ironing and freshens clothing!
5. Baking Mix
Mix 8 cups all purpose flour, 1/3 cup baking powder, 2 tsp. salt and 8 tsp. sugar (optional) together. Then cut in 1 cup shortening with pastry blender or fork until it forms a very fine consistency. Follow directions for hundreds of Bisquick Recipes! This eliminates the need for multiple mixes and stores well for months.
