SIMPLIFY MY LIFE: HOMEMADE LAUNDRY SOAP = $1.76 FOR 7 GALLONS!

Homemade laundry soap is amazingly easy to make.....Not to mention very cheap!

What I LOVE about making my own laundry soap:

1.  It is safe to use in my HE Machine

2.  Doesn't have the added perfumes & junk that irritate sensitive skin

(3 members of my household have severe Eczema - homemade soap has been the best for them)

3.  Only cost $1.76 for 7 gallons! (based on Walmart prices)

HERE IS A COST COMPARISON:

• My stock up price for name brand laundry detergent is $1.99 for 32 loads (60oz)
• Breaks down to $.06 a load

• Homemade laundry detergent cost $1.76 for 7 gallons (480 loads)
• Breaks down to $.003 less than a penny a load!
