I'm not sure if my mother's motivation was to save money or the simple joy of creating things by hand. I do know my mother watched and helped my grandmother make many things by hand as a child growing up during the great depression. Growing up and living on a farm, my mother was more fortunate than most during that difficult time People who grew up during the depression tend to be a thirty bunch. They had to learn to make do and do without. Either way, my mother's influence of making things by hand, being arty and crafty stems from her. Thanks, mom!
I love foam soap. I also enjoy saving money in this tight economy. To stretch the dollar and liquid soap, I make my own foamy soap for kitchen and bath. All you need to make the foam soap is a pump used for making the soap foam and this little, easy peazy "recipe". It's not much really. I used recycled foam soap dispensers, my favorite liquid soap and cold water.
In a measuring cup, add 1/3 cup of liquid soap and enough cold water to make one cup. Gently stir. Pour the mixture into your foam soap dispenser and you're ready to go. You can do this for Dawn kitchen dish washing liquid using the Dawn foam pump. Using recycled 2 liter bottles, I make enough foam soap for kitchen and bath to have in reserve. All I need to do, is refill my dispensers when I need it.
Now you don't have to hunt for the foam soap refill and save money in the bargain.
