Aug. 19, 2008 - Tightwad Tuesday - Cheap bubble bath and shampoo

http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Canadagirl/
Instead of buying a bottle of bubble bath, I buy the largest bottle of dish soap I can find at the dollar store.  Next, I pour about 1/2 of it into an empty bottle, followed by adding water to both bottles.  Now I have two bottles of "bubble bath" for the price of one.
 
My homemade shampoo recipe calls for a bit of shampoo, so I buy the largest bottle of shampoo I can find at the dollar store.  Also, I had been letting dd use the Pantene clarifying shampoo since she has the pre-teen greasy-hair issue.  However, when I had her switch to the homemade stuff, she was able to stop washing her hair every day. 
And that made her   
 
If you don't want to spend money on special clarifying shampoos, here are a couple of cheap tricks to do the job.  Wet your hair and scrub your head with baking soda, then wash as usual.  Another cheap way to clarify it is by pouring vinegar on your hair.  It will make your hair squeaky clean. 
Gals, I'm sorry, but I cannot seem to post comments to your blogs today, IF I'm even able to load your page! 
In case you didn't see it in my Monday post, dd was tested yesterday for juvenile diabetes.  I am hoping to hear the results later today.
