The Savings Experiment: Homemade Laundry Detergent

Homemade Laundry Soap

As I have stated many times before, I HATE paying full price for anything. Laundry Detergent is an item that I use a lot of and rarely find a sale/coupons that I can use to get it close to free. Unless you count my "Free Travel Size Tides." I read a GREAT post by Greta over at Friend Family Saving on making your own Laundry Detergent so I decided to give it a try!

Here is the Recipe:

1 bar lightly scented soap (Ivory, Fels Naptha, Zote & Pure&Natural are all commonly used)
1/2 cup washing soda (NOT baking soda)
1/2 cup borax




You have to grate the soap, it took me no time at all! You can also use a food processor which might help it to make it more fine. I don't have a food processor the grater method worked well!

Combine all ingredients and store in an air tight container!

All I did was put them in, snap the lid on and shook!

It was a GREAT workout for my arms and I was able to combine all of the quickly and easily.

Now you use one Tablespoon per load!

Cost Analysis:

Arm & Hammer Washing Soda: $2.99 ($.22 per batch)
20 Mule Team Natural Laundry Booster, Borax: $4.29 ($.23 per batch)
Ivory Bar Soap, Simply Ivory: $.50

Total Cost per 32 load Batch: $.95
Total Cost per 1TBSP load: $.03

Compare that to:
Tide 2x Concentrated, Original 64 loads $12.99 ($.20/load)

Storyline Online

I have to share a great FREE resource that I use in my classroom! It is called Storyline Online and it is WONDERFUL.

It is brought to us by the Screen Actors Guild Foundation and it is an online video streaming of SAG actors reading popular children's stories.

Each book read includes activities and lesson plans to go along with it.

As my school year is winding down, it is a great way to share a story.

I don't watch a lot of TV so I had a hard time figuring out who some of the actors are but they make each story exciting for young readers. Be sure to check out Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge, it is a favorite among the first graders in Room 174

Here are some of the books available:

Harry the Dirty Dog

To Be A Drum

Guji Guji

Sebastian's Roller Skates

Spohie's Masterpiece

Stellaluna

Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge

No Mirrors in My Nana's House (another favorite)
