I'm 76, and you're right on. So many things can be stretched with water or using your imagination! Great you made this video for those who do not know.Oh, I almost forgot. I wash out my zip lock baggies and use them again. My Mom used to have a whole wash line full of them indoors.
I do too wash out my Ziploc baggies it depends on what was in them. But if I have fruit or something that can be rinsed I definitely do it.
We live in Frisco Texas I don't know if y'all know how expensive it is to live here. Frisco has boomed everybody from California has moved to frisco. We bought our home 27 years ago. For $128,000 paid it off in 7 years.
And we are very frugal. But it's a choice. People around us are struggling losing their homes. The house is out here now My house is worth over $500,000. But ,I'm not moving. We have an SUV and we're going to go on road trips. Luckily I have a sister that has a home in Massachusetts very beautiful close to Vermont Maine and Appalachian mountains. And family in North Carolina. What more can you ask for.
I have an old fashioned tip to save soap, electricity and water. My mother in law (now 90) told me that when her grandmother was finished washing the dishes she would say - just look at all that soapy hot water! Then she would use it to go over the floors. I do this sometimes too. Not if the water is gross of course, but after a light wash I think “just look at all that warm soapy water!” This trick was of course from when they didn’t have hot running water in the house - but why waste resources just because we’re privileged?
I have done this my entire life, lol. I also use the rinse water for my plants. (I don't run the tap for rinsing. I use a basin full of water with a bit of vinegar. )
Haven't had running water in eight years.
I miss my indoor rivers! 🐴
Add a little apple cider vinegar to your shampoo and conditioner and it lasts longer and is healthy for your scalp as well.
"Take a handful of noodles, break it in half" - that thud in the background was the Italian viewers dying 😂
@@bc4yt Well ... I'm not Italian; I don't live in Italy; and anyone having a hissy about my broken spaghetti can just ... uh ... eat elsewhere. 😏
Hey girl, I just ran upon you the other day I live in Kingsland Texas I was born and raised here I’m a pretty cool old woman if I do say so myself 😜 I live by myself and I have found that so many of the things that you do to save money and be frugal are things that I have been doing for a long time. I’ve lived alone for the past 23 years and it’s easy to cut corners when you live aloneand for that, I am so grateful. But I really think you’re pretty savvy for a young person. I just subscribed to your channel and will be checking it out more. Thank you for sharing.
By the way, if you ever have any questions for me, I have a lot of experience in a lot of stuff
Do you have a recipe to make your washed clothes smell pretty. I like the smell of Gain but in small amounts, yet I use powdered Tide. Trying to stay away from plastics. Thank You .
You really need to start your own RUclips channel!! I'm serious! I'm a 68 year old gal liveing on my own homestead these last 5 years! I'd sure watch your frugal tips and I'm sure others would too!!!
I have been doing the watering down method for many years as I hate waste. I am cutting down in buying plastic containers in groceries. One of which is making my own dishwashing/laundry liquid in a reusable bottle. Left over Makeup liquid I mix a little oil - almond or coconut oil to use up whats left in the tube. Home cooked food is cheaper and healthier. Plan for the week, main meals, snacks.
My sister laughed when I put some almond oil in the bottle of foundation. (You cheapskate 😂) then I showed her my "free" tinted moisturizer and now she does it, too😂
I thank you prepper princess for all the knowledge you have given me since my husband passed away, i do everything you share, and it has saved me hundreds of dollars and it helps me not to stress out so much . I am truly grateful for you and your videos, I've learned so much for you ❤❤❤
I bought a case of 12 bottles of steramine tablets. 150 tabs per bottle. 1 tablet to 1 gallon of water. You can sterilize and clean the entire house, all hard surfaces. It replaces bleach, and tablets are shelf stable for 10+ years. Not to be used on clothing or for ypur wash. It is used in commercial kitchens to sterilize everything, dishes, glassware, untensils, cutting boards, sinks, refrigerators, ovens, stove stops, exhaust fans, floors, pots & pans, toilets, showers, faucets, windowsill, door knobs, patios, everything.
@@thisnthattalks1153 nice tip!
Not only GREAT tips but also the mind-shift inspiration. Dividing products and food does not mean deprivation. ❤
I use the basmati rice bag as a purse.I always get compliments on it :) .
@@charlenejackson6236 That’s great👏👏👏👏.. I always think what to make out of it and no idea what to and how to make yet and save them all and throw them all when cleaning ..
I use vinegar for fabric softener. It rem9ves soap residue and also makes towels more absorbent. It's super cheap and also earth friendly. I also hang my laundry outside to dry.
I need to try the oat milk trick. Thanks for the ideas!!
I dont dilute the washing up liquid in its bottle, but I do use a spraybottle, I put 20% of soap, and rest hot water. And the spray is perfect for everything from washing up to washing the countertop etc. I have changed from liquid bodywash to bar soaps. They last so much longer. I use washing powder in the washing machine, but under half the recommended amount of product, and I use vinegar for the rinse cycle. I hang my clothes, never owned a dryer. Towards the end of every month, I do the inventory of fridge, freezer and pantry, and mealplan out of what I have in the house. This week i will only top up of milk and fresh vegetables.
My daughter works at a dollar store while attending university for a degree in tech and she brings home so many things destined for the dumpster because it’s either slightly out of date or about to be. (9 times out of 10 we are able to use these items before they go bad so it has saved us a lot of money). She brought home an entire box of hand sanitizers and I have been adding a bottle to my slightly watered down dish soap which further liquifies it and makes it go on forever it seems. The hand sanitizer disinfects the dishes as I wash them. They are always clean. So basically one large bottle of knockoff Dawn from Sam’s club plus water and hand sanitizer is going to last me forever at this rate. I’ve been using it for a year easily and hardly made a dent in the original knockoff bottle.
What is "knockoff Dawn" at Sam's Club? Asking because I buy the Blue Ultra from Sam's. Is this the "knockoff" I've been buying?
@@gymgirllja the Sam’s club brand name members mark in the blue color just called liquid dish soap.
If you grind your coffee finer it gives great coffee, tip from when I lived in germany. Also lemon or orange rinds in a jar filled with vinegar become a wonderful cleaning spray in kitchen or bathroom.
I also use the citrus vinegar combo, it's great
Me too
You get a little more caffeine that way!
During the C-word shutdowns, I took your advice and watered down my 986 ml (less than 1 quart) bottle of shampoo. It lasted me two years. No kidding! I've been doing that ever since. I make my own spray cleaners using a similar recipe - I just add about 2 tsp. rubbing alcohol. It helps it to dry faster, more streak free and kills germs more completely. I used to pay $5 for windex all purpose spray. I don't think I've paid that much for all of my cleaners in the past 5 years!
I put rubbing alcohol in my homemade “all purpose cleaner” too. It’s easy to use and so cheap.
I can't afford a coffeemaker. Besides, I learned that ALL coffeemakers (except Bunn) have an ALUMINUM tube that heats the water. Aluminum is bad for the brain. I use a stainless steel pour-over funnel to make my coffee. Just heat the water and pour it over the coffee grounds in the pour-over funnel and voila' !! Coffee taste great every time! Probably because I buy beans and grind them myself using a HAND grinder... no wasted electricity on grinding. BTW, I love Prepper Princess! She's a role model for those who want the best out of life without spending a fortune. You go, girl !!
I geminated one lemon seed. Got a little tree going. Got ideal online...fun!
@@robinsteyer6986 go you! I hope it grows nice and healthy :)
Learned from my mom that you can reuse zip lock bags, just wash and flip it inside out to dry.
I do too, but not if it's had meat in it, especially chicken!! Never...
Hard vs soft water matters, too. If your water is hard, it will take MUCH more soap, shampoo, laundry detergent, etc to get things clean.
That is a fact. And I hate it !!
I have hard water and white vinegar comes in handy for most cleaning jobs where needed for water deposits.
I live in northern midwest and berries and mulberries are easy to grow, not citrus, but we are very pleased to have a good harvest so far!
So many frugal channels and I keep coming back to you. Love your personality. Bought your book a few years back. (Irritated the family watering the shampoo down. 🤭)
Amber, you are great. I took a few minutes to read several of the comments...geez...i didn't realize how many negative people comment... my advice to them, don't take PP's advice, if you don't like it... but you don't need to comment your negative advice. She's doing fine without your help.
When Covid hit and toilet paper was hard to find I started cutting receiving blankets into 4x4 squares and used them for pee. Since I drink tons of water and go about every hr to hr and half, I saved tons. I put the clothes in a laundry bag/Laguerra bag and throw in the wash. I had about 18 mths of TP on the shelf but it made to where I could provide TP for friends and family that couldn't find it and I didn't mind the cloth.
Baking soda, vinegar and alcohol are natural cleaners that are cheap 😄
Best cheap cleaner- one part vinegar to one part water. Done.
Funny! Yesterday, I stood in my kitchen reflecting on the new (very) cheap coffebrand I tried. Whether or not I should start using that instead. Its ok, but no where neer my regular coffee when it comes to flavor. And I thought, wonder what prepper prepper princess would do? And I had it, you would "water it down" with the cheaper brand. But how much?
And here you are telling me 20%!! 😍😍
Its like you heard my need for help. The universe is a funny thing. Thank you for your videos. Never stop, I love them. ❤️❤️⭐🦋🌿🦋🥰
Can i mention that i have small garbage can in bathroom and living room, i have bought small garbage bags, but i use small shopping bags for my cans to save money!
You are SO right about the soap staying in our laundry! I use about a tsp. of liquid and it's still hard to get it all rinsed out. Now I just use about a Tablepoon of baking soda to wash my clothes and rinse with white vinegar, I also soak them for hours or overnight. Works great! You have a lot of great ideas to save money. Love your videos. Also love when you share the dogs with us. You are SO right! Nala IS SO stinkin' cute!
Those juices are what us Hispanics call aguas frescas. They look delicious 😋 also!!! The Nido! Its one if the best milks in Mexico. ❤❤❤
Costco half n half is the cheapest for me so far. We are a big family so for us it makes sense to have the Costco membership that gives us back a percentage so it pays itself. I have to have my half n half. Our persimmon, lemon and orange and loquat trees keep our fruit cravings satisfied. Cactus grows easily too and is very healthy, we love eating cactus.
Your advice from that previous video about laundry detergent was right on target. You need a very small amount of actual detergent to get the dirt to release from the fibers in your average load and yes, it's the movement of the clothing that largely cleans them. Oh, and the other day, my husband needed a kitchen towel, and picked up one from the pile with more frayed edges than sewn ones. LOL He said, what's up with this? I said that it was my favorite practical towel, because it was thick and absorbent - my last of the old guard of my towels that were from the days where towels were made to LAST. It's true. My newer ones are pretty, pretty but you know they were made to fall apart sooner...than later. :(
I don't add water to things, I just use a few drops instead
Smart
The dish soap mixed with water and vinegar works in my bathroom and kitchen better than any other products. I also mixed water with dish liquid.
I just don't drink coffee... it saves me money and time, and space, at times I make tea, but for the most part I just drink water
I like foaming hand soap. I have foaming hand soap dispensers. I use 1/4 cup regular liquid handsoap and add 1 cup of water to make foaming hand soap.
Girl! Yes to the bidet! We haven't purchased TP in 2 years! It's so much cleaner too.
I have been using 2/3 pump squirts of Dr. Bronner's pure-castile soap to wash my long hair, then rise my hair with 1/2 cup of white vinegar and warm water. Not only is my hair clean but the knots/tangles gone. Yes people are going to say Dr. Bronner's soap is costly, this is what I have to say. When I am ask what would you like for Christmas/birthday/holiday etc. gift. I answer a large bottle of Dr. Bronner's soap.
I make coffee on the stove using two SS pots and a SS Strainer +Coffee filters. Saves on appliances.
I was wondering how to make coffee without a coffee maker or French press. Thanks!!
I add lotion to my foundation, or really I add a drop of foundation to my lotion and it gives me full coverage and color with my moisturizer. I use Fruit of the Earth Vitamin E cream, it’s really inexpensive and it’s good for my skin. So you could also do that if you’re concerned about skincare but also still want to wear makeup.
I do the same thing, but I never thought how it was also saving money. I do it because it adds moisture to the skin and it simply makes it work and look better.
@@SRose-vp6ew I didn’t do it to save money either, I learned it from another girl because I was trying to reduce caking in my fine lines. But it has saved me a lot on foundation costs, so I thought I’d mention it because it helps with that and skincare, win win right!! ❤️
For anyone who's trying to replace coffee because caffeine isn't agreeing with them I highly suggest dandelion tea. It keeps you regular like coffee and has a bitter taste like coffee while being cheaper if you get it online. I'm not knocking coffee, it has great health benefits it just messes with some of us unfortunately
Just be careful not to consume too much Dandelion tea. I swapped it for coffee a few years ago, and after a few months of drinking 5-6 cups of dandelion tea a day I developed an allergy to anything in the dandelion family. Now I cannot even eat honey because of the allergens in it. I always had honey in black tea, and now I have to drink black tea plain.
I don't think any of that was extreme the only thing I wouldn't do personally is water down the mascara only because I know someone who did that and mould grew in it and rather than add water to the foundation just wet your foundation brush you'll use less product and it's apply to you skin nicer
Use water that has boiled and coolest in dried out baby wipes
Thank you for all your super helpful tips!! Very inspirational. I'm taking a job that doesn't pay well & I know I have to get even more creative with the dollar.
As a soft furnishings maker of many years, now retired, I have made lots of lovely cushions, but this one wins the prize!!! Love it 💓
Concerning foaming hand soap ,,I learned that it is about 80% water 20% soap ,when getting empty I add water and maybe a teaspoon of soap and Wala still foaming .😊 also I have a Swiffer mop ,I take the bottle off ( they expect you to buy a new refill bottle ) and put in my own cleaner ,,have not bought a new bottle in 5 yrs .
I make my own cleaner, put it in a spray bottle and use reusable pads. You can put them in washer and use them for years.
I think some people put a little rubbing alcohol in with the other ingredients for their foaming hand wash.
@@lizh1988 what does the alcohol do?
@@grammy279 Not sure, but probably a little extra grease cutting. Alcohol is NOT for painted surfaces, I found that out using formula 409 on painted cupboards. The paint color was transferring to the rag I used. Our fridge and stove are painted too, found that out too.
I understand about the huge savings. I wonder about the use of conditioner for your hair. If you are going 3-7 days between washing your hair, would not the natural oils condition it? Back years ago, I wore my hair long and wouldn't use conditioner. The only thing I used was a little honey that was heated in the same sunlight that heated my shower water. I would wash my hair first. Then, I use my hands to work the honey into my hair. After I finished washing my body,I would wash out the honey. It worked wonders.
Excellent ideas, Thank you Prepper Princess!
I love everything about your channel.
I agree with you about laundry. I use an empty large dish soap container to house laundry detergent. I give each load a small squeeze and that’s it. When I do bras & delicates I add nothing most of the time. My positive addition is to not cook with seed oils EVER!! Most crops (like wheat+++) are sprayed with glyphosate to kill them so they are easier to harvest. Don’t eat grains besides GMO free organic popcorn.
Such wise advise, that not too many folks get. Seed oils r killers! Thank you, dear lady for getting the word out. :)
Lol makes your own laundry soap and fabric softener and if you're a dryer sheet person try a washcloth put a small amount of fabric softener on a wet cloth throw in the dryer with the clothes...
Great idea❤
I also water down my liquid laundry detergent. Clothes still get clean!
Since switching to automatic soap dispensers (makes it easier for hubs dexterity issues) I've noticed we go through less soap, I have one for dish soap and one for the bathroom they have 3 volume (dispenser) settings and I set both to the lowest amount.
We're both on special (medical) diets, and I have found ways to reduce costs so that we eat correctly but don't have higher grocery bill. Such as vegetable protein sources, getting Russet potatoes for less the 2 bucks for 10 pounds, and accepting free food my neighbors offer such as clementines just recently
I just found some of my mothers cotton hankies, I have a drippy nose all the time since cancer. I will be able to save on tissues now.
I just made some out of shirts I found at the carwash. They are a good place to find stuff like that
I would rather pay for tissues than have to wash snotty hankies.
Do you hand wash? Or use a washing machine? If machine then you never touch the snotty hankies
@@Kim-eh2ov machine wash and I had cancer and my nose just drips now so not gross sick snot.
@@cathykelly6002 My nose runs all the time. I got some nasal spray from the doctor called Ipratropium Bromide. It really helps. It's not for allergies or cold, just drippy nose. Now I don't feel like a snot nosed kid anymore.
This reminds me of the old Tightwad Gazette from the 90s
I have the Tightwad Gazette compilation book. I love reading it.
@@mightymommom5888 I just purchased both books last week..used of course.
Great resource!
If kids complain about watering down juice start with a little water. Next time and more and so much n they will get use to it.
I did this a long time ago to wean my husband off of salt when it came to hot cereal. It tastes absolutely gross to me now with salt added. I never salt anything while I'm cooking because my husband still uses a lot of salt no matter how much I put in dishes.
I use about 1/4 cup of baking soda in a cup of water for shampoo. Hair feels amazing!
Baking soda is great for clarifying hair, but use sparingly. It will strip it down too much.
I recently got a box of laundry soap sheets on sale. They are supposed to wash 300 medium loads and I am anxious to try them. I only wash clothes when I get a full load which takes a while. After I try the laundry sheets I will give a review.
I use laundry detergent sparingly for numerous reasons.
@@emagneticfield laundry sheets are useless. Also very carcinogenic. Like the most im a house
Thank you for the oatmilk recipe 🙂 I just added vanilla extract, brown sugar, and cinnamon for my morning coffee ☕️
I think your hacks are great. I don't buy liquid detergent. I use powder and, if necessary, mix it ahead of time with water. It washes more loads than liquid. I store my make-up in a cool, dry place - the refrigerator crisper drawer at times. - and add DISTILLED water when it's close to done. It's got just the right amount of coverage when it's new, so I add DISTILLED water as it begins to stick to the sides of the bottle.
Thanks for the powdered detergent tip!
One thing i will never go cheap on is my teeth. So if it costs me it costs me but in end taking care of your teeth is taking care of your health that can save more expensive bills later on.
I agree. That is why I use the toothpaste my dentist recommends, and electric toothbrush and floss every day. Teeth care is extremely inexpensive and not taking care of them can lead to tooth pain but if really bad, blood poisoning and heart failure
Prepper Princess, I would love to see a video of you making soy milk and tofu. I love both but buy store bought. They are cheap but would be even cheaper to make and I would love to learn how.
I have washable / reusable paper towels tissues and napkins. We never use paper plates or cups are plastic silverware. I actually like the reusable better than the Disposable and not just for saving money
I put lotion with a dab of concealer. Makes it last a couple years and feels healthier and lighter on skin
I'd love to see a video on tofu making, as well as soy milk and oat milk making! Also, have you looked into buying cloth toilet paper and menstrual products? I've saved so much $$. With a bidet it's no mess, I keep in its own container and wash separately.
PP has already done a video on making soy milk.
Preppier Princess, love your channel and this video but I highly disagree with one item. It is really bad to add water to mascara, it is a breeding ground for bacteria and mold.
But a drop of glycerin works well and is pretty inexpensive.
Drop of lavender eo is antibacterial.
I think these are awesome tips love your content keep on creating.
I don't buy paper towels. I buy a pack of wash rags at Walmart and just wash and reuse. I don't miss buying paper towels.
Another thing that you can do... when you are out somewhere, if you use the restroom and use paper towels, tuck them in your purse or pocket and take them home with you instead of throwing them out. I just have a paper bag to throw them in to dry. That way, when you have a disgusting mess to clean up, use them and them throw them away. Still have the convenience of paper towels without the cost.
I love how you made a Basmati rice bag out of a pillow, and I just love your dogs, theyre too cute! Blessings!
I've been trying to cut back, buy cheap, cook in bulk to freeze for later meals etc... I live in Houston. I lost power for 3 days after a freak storm. I lost my whole freezer. Now I don't want to freeze anything for fear of it happening again. And no.... I can't afford a generator.
Same here. We had two cyclones in about two years. Two weeks without power. Now I only buy enough to cook for two meals. Because I found out that most of the time I will just eat whatever left over. Then I will use whatever the leftover vegetables injection in the fridge and can tuna or sardine or Korea noodles. I spent less this way and no more 3 months old meat.
I love the pillow! Very creative on your part.
You are soooo cute with your dogs! My dogs are my life :) Great tips! Thank you once again!
I don't mess with soy, but I use oats for lots of things... INCLUDING oat milk. Since I don't use anything in my coffee, the oat milk comes in handy in recipes for dinner that call for milk. I usually add a small amount of whey protein powder to it. Tastes great by itself as well. Prepper Princess is becoming a favorite for saving money!
I love the coffee an the oat milk suggestions..
I wish you would have wrote all your measurements somewhere.
You can get bidet with an air dryer! If you don't have the air dryer then after washing, use small hand towel to dry.
Many people use family cloth instead of toilet paper. This involves two small buckets with lids, one labeled clean and one soiled. After wiping with the clean cloth place the used cloth in the soiled bucket. A spray bottle near by provides moisture if needed for wiping. Launder in hot water and line dry on a clothesline or dry in a hot dryer. Place the family cloth in the clean bucket. That’s it. I keep a few rolls of toilet paper in the house so I don’t shock non family members. I have been doing this since the 80’s and saved lots of money and I feel cleaner too.
I love the pillow! I've never seen rice that was not in a plastic bag. I do similar things like that though.
You can buy reusable papertowels that can be put on a roll as well... They work well. I also have a bidet 😅
We pick SO much citrus and are given some too. I got tired of freezing and it taking up room. I am now canning it.
Same with my tea leaves I mix my lap sang with some cheap tea mix it and tin it it exudes a great smell
Thanks for those hacks, they are great! I just went through my home and watered down a lot of things :D
I prefer using a bar of soap for showering, I only use shower gel when I get it as a gift. For shampoo and conditioner I use baking soda mixed with water and after that apple cider vinegar with water.
And the only reason I keep paper towels around is for cat puke, because I really don't want to use a rag and the pieces of toilet paper are too small for the amount my cat lets out again when she's upset with me... yes, she mostly pukes to let me know it's time to get up and feed her wet food...
Thanks for these tips!
Great Pillow Idea!
I’ve been trying out baking chocolate powder for contour make up
Add water and salt to dish liquid
Why salt?
Also if you add a bit of 60-90% isopropyl alcohol to you cleaner you have a sanitizer too
How do you use one laundry pod for 3 washes? How do you divide it?
I don't divide it. I don't use a pod for 2 of the washes. I use a pod for the 3rd wash only.
Not weird at all! Love these! Water a lot of things down already, but will start doing the shampoo and make up, too 👌 we use cheap bar soap for hand washing. Lasts forever and can be used for washing undies and socks between machine washes.
All the "convenience" of disposable products is crazy wasteful! I find it very inconvenient to have to haul huge bags of paper towel and tp and pay the insane prices for them 😂
Bar soap is terrific. My granny used to rub a bar of soap on dampened stains as a pre-wash stain treatment.
@@jbalconi9903 yes! Mine too 😊
I love all your hacks PP, Can you show me in a video how to change the oil in the car, everything you do and the car maintenance every 6 months?
I have a 2003 Toyota Camry V6 with 210,000 miles, I go to Valvoline every 5 months to change the oil and filter and I pay $30. I would like to learn how you take care of your car and the oil thing. Thank you so much! I appreciate you very much, thanks for sharing... 🤗
YT has plenty of videos for all that
Price it out, if i could get an oil change that cheap i wouldn't do it myself. Oil spill on the ground and on your clothes or shoes, recycling the used oil, getting rid of the filter. All that to save $5! Just not worth it. Thats like sitting in a line-up at Costco to save five cents a gallon.
What about rotating your tires to make them wear evenly and last longer?
That’s really interesting I haven’t heard that before
@nelliedean7088 definitely rotate your tires to get even wear between the tires.
Adding too much water dilutes the preservatives. Then you end up with slimy mould inside the bottle.
Isn't lemon juice a preservative? .She gets that for free.
No soap residue with one tiny pod for a load of laundry-(especially in the summer)No on the laundry detergent lol sorry not sorry lol 😆 but hey to each their own that’s what makes the world go round 😊 I will dilute everything else
Good tips! And cleaning as you go as in wiping spills right away, have a dish towel or dishcloth hanging on shoulder for immediate wipe to avoid spill spreading, ie onto floor. I will try to make some oat milk, oats can help with lowering cholesterol.
I buy paper towels for things like dog puke and bacon grease. a 6 pack of paper towels lasts me like 4 years lol.
I do similar things not to save money, but to save calories. For example, I put a lot more milk in a milkshake than most people. Still a cold sweet treat, but only 2/3 the calories.
Thanks to your videos, I am saving so much money. Thank you!
✨ 👍✨
Thank You, PREPPER PRINCESS.
indonjust abt all u do too. the only thing i dont do do is the pods recommend u mentioned only bc i dont use pods for laundry. i buy foca liquid detergent. pour that small bottle of detergent in a 1 gal clear zeph hills water bottle. fill up the bottle with tap water and shake to mix bc the detergent is so highly concentrated the watered down version works well cleaning my clothes and i use much less detergent than i used to bc in one of ur old vids u showed us to fill cap to less the lowest line on the cap. that 1 bottle of watered down foca detergent lasts like 6! months ty for sharing with us prepper princess. i recommend ur channel to everyone love the coffee idea inwill be sharing that with my sister. her fav brand is tooo toooo pricey and she can only get it when its on sale for the buy one get one deals at the market.
I do some of those, however where theres a reusable alternative, i have it, including ear pil ( instead of cotton buds), handkerchiefs instead of tissue, bar soap stain remover. I feel pretty frugal but i could do better. 😊
The bidet saves us a fortune
Wow, great recommendations I never would have thought of. Thank you!
This is my favorite video you've ever made!
I use a spray thing on my toilet and wipe with ripped up squares of flannel. I have a whole system. How do you use a bidet and not dry off.. doesn't it get your underwear wet?
Yes, you have to dry off.
Look up do-it-yourself laundry detergent powder. There are ‘how to make it’ tutorials on the internet. I think tutorials of how to make your own powdered laundry detergent on RUclips. It includes a special bar of a certain kind of bar soap (can’t think of the name right now), washing soda and other ingredients that can be purchased at Walmart. You can make enough to fill a five gallon bucket if you need to. They say it is as good as bought detergent. I think you also need to add Oxyclean.
FELS NAPTHA SOAP.
