Frugal Tip - Laundry Soap

I was a laundry detergent snob. I only used Tide. It was the only thing that got my clothes clean. Until I discovered Borax. And then I could use cheap detergent. Borax is awesome!
Although I could now use cheap detergent, I knew that making my own, would still be way cheaper. Especially since homemade detergent is made partly out of Borax. If I made my own, I wouldn't have to add the extra Borax.
So after months of the recipe sitting in my notebook, I finally took the plunge and made the detergent.
It was fun! Especially when you have a future homemaker helping you:

I doubled the recipe so I wouldn't have to make it again right away.

HERE is the recipe. Go try it. I dare you.

Don't be scared. It's really very easy.
I found Fels Naptha and washing soda at my local grocery store. Walmart doesn't carry them.
