How many of you were enjoying parades and barbecues on the 4th of July?
Not this kid.
Nope.
I did venture out, stupidly braving a bad thunderstorm, to use a $3.50 Ulta coupon to pick up three bottles of nail polish (feeding my addiction) that were on sale B2G1.
While at the mall, I also stopped by the coastal market and picked up my favorite Balsamic Black Bean Dip.
When I got home, I decided it was time to cook up a new batch of laundry detergent.
You might recall that it was two years ago that I blogged about making my own detergent and fabric softener. I reviewed my results here.
I could not believe that my tub of detergent lasted over two years…through four people doing multiple loads of laundry each week.
Well, I guess it was more like three people since Chicky was away at college much of that time. Still, she was home last summer.
I have had to make more of the fabric softener, but the detergent really stretched itself out.
I figure it must have cost a mere penny or two per load.
Pretty good, eh?
Here’s the new batch, all ready for the laundry room…
It wasn’t a bad way to spend the 4th…not bad at all!
