I'm extremely frugal! I make my own laundry detergent, dish washer detergent, most of my own cleaning supplies.
I purchase Borax(clothes washing detergent)-dial corp. will send a coupon home mailer.
Arm and Hammer Washing Soda (for washing detergent)
Baking Soda (Washing detergent)(dishwasher)(cleaning stovetops, grill, ect.)
and One Bar Soap (for making washing detergent).
I can make enough to last six months for a family of six. (four kids)
These things cost me less that $50 a year with coupons. Of course if it is free after coupons or rebates I buy the name brand stuff that way.
The only thing I have trouble getting cheap or free is fruits, veggies, and meat. I do okay on everything else so far. I'm hoping to get our budget down to $200 a month. I'm still fairly new at couponing. We were going into credit card debt every month trying to keep things we needed in our house. Now we are creeping out of the hole!!
