Frugal ideas from friends

I've had some frugal friends who have been discussing their favorite tips and I thought I'd share a few of them.

These aren't my ideas, they come from my dear friends in the homeschooling community. Homeschoolers tend to get very creative when it comes to saving money, because we have no choice!

Here are a few of my faves from friends:

Put liquid soap (shampoo, body wash, dish detergent) into pumps to make it stretch and use less. In addition, this will cut down on waste due to spills (or dropping the bottles!).

I personally have bought some hand soaps in pumps (on sale at $1 each), used them up then saved them for refilling. If you get some of the foaming pumps and mix soap 50/50 with water it makes the soap go further.

I also buy bulk containers of hand soap and dish detergent. You can refill the pumps containers and it's much cheaper.
