Buy foaming soap dispensers. Those are expensive, but you will save so much money after that. When you need some more soap, pour in 1/8 to 1/4 full of dishwashing liquid soap. Fill to the top with water and stir. I add in 1/2 drop of food coloring to make it pretty.
I also use Dawn Hand Renewal soap. We get dry hands and this doesn't seem to dry out our hands so quickly.

DIY Laundry Detergent
I know this isn't 'yummy food', but there were a few people who wanted this recipe ;-)
From Patti:
1 bar Naptha laundry soap (find at Fry's in the laundry aisle, towards the refrigerated section, at the top)
1 cup washing soda
1 cup borax
scented essential oil of choice (optional)
5-gallon bucket
Grate soap and melt in a dutch-oven size pot half full of water. Empty into bucket. Add another pot full of water and stir. Add in washing soda and borax and stir. Fill the bucket to the top with water and stir. Let sit for 24 hrs. Use 1-2 capfulls per load, depending on how strong you want it.
Patti says she likes to keep a smaller Tide (or whatever you have) container to fill up and use. This 5 gallon bucket will last about 4 to 5 months.
