1 Laundry Soap: 4 bottles

I feel like every month I search and search for a clean laundry detergent that doesn't contain SLS or fragrance, and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. 

I've used Young Living for 7 years and I've only bought their Thieves Laundry Soap twice. And then the other month it hit me. I know it can be diluted and made in to multiple containers. I've seen other people do it. Just go ahead and add it to your order, and do the dang thing. So, I did. 

And now I'm obsessed. I bought a bottle of in February; separated it out in to containers in March, and I'm still on the same bottle. Talk about a money saving deal! 

Okay, so let's see how easy this is. 

You'll need these soap dispensers. 

Thieves Laundry Soap

Thieves Household Cleaner

Essential Oil of your choice

Here are a few of my favorite oils to use:

Lucious Lemon

Purification

Lavender

Gentle Baby

Lemon

You can buy all of this here.

Here's what you'll do:

Start by filling up your dispenser bottle about half way up with  Purified Water. Add 4 large capfuls of the Thieves Laundry Soap to your dispenser bottle. Add 3 capfuls of Thieves Household Cleaner. Add 20 drops of the essential oil of your choice. If the bottle isn't full to the top, you can add more water. I like adding the water first, because if you add it after the soap, you'll create lots of bubbles and suds.

Shake it up, and you're ready to use!

I just pump the soap in to the laundry detergent dispenser, until it's right at the "normal" line.

So easy my friends!

And, don't forget your wool dryer balls! 

I add about 6 drops of essential oils to the balls every other load. 

Dryer sheets are carcinogenic and filled with synthetic fragrance. Dryer balls will save your health, as well as your time and money, since you are able to re-use them, and they shorten drying time! 

Oh, yes!

Freebies!

I thought I'd take this evening and share with you all some great money-saving tips! If you're like most people, you're saving your money and watching what you spend. One way that I've found to help is to sign up for freebies.

There are several websites that you can use, but there are also some that are a little fishy. Of course, you're giving out personal information, since your freebies will arrive in the mail. I'll share with you my favorite freebie sites and some tips.

Tips:
1. Don't give out your real phone number. I don't think that I've had any excess calls from giving out my number, but if you're concerned, fudge your number by 1 digit.
2. You often have to give your email address, so you'll need to set up a 2nd address to use. Just go to it every once in a while and delete the emails.
3. Don't try to sign up more than once, unless of course you are using family names, addresses, etc. But, get their permission first and make sure they'll hand over the freebie!
4. Tip your mailman around the Holidays. If you're making them do a little more work, then show them that you appreciate them. Last year, I gave our postwoman a little Christmas container that I bought on sale the year before! You can always fix a goodybag of your freebies for the postman!
5. I save all of my favorite freebie sites in my internet favorites folder for easy access.
6. Spend one evening signing up for freebies, go to each site and complete all of the information.

Favorite Sites:
1. If you're a member of Cafemom then you'll need to sign up for the Deals & Steals group. This group has daily posts on freebies, give aways, and tips.
2. Baby Cheapskate is also another great site, especially for moms!
3. Freebies4mom spoils you with the greatest freebies!
4. Become a member of Right@Home, and you'll receive valuable coupons. Okay, coupons aren't freebies per say, but in my opinion, coupons are free money!
5. StartSampling lists freebies. You get points everytime you sign in, but i'll be perfectly honest saying that I'm not sure what these points are for. But, you can often get some free magazines through this site.
6. My favorite freebie site is Wal-Mart. I love their toiletry items. I've received shower gels, toothpaste samples, and yes- free tampons. There was one month, where I had so many samples, that I didn't have to purchase any from the store. Plus, many of Wal-Mart's samples will send a coupon with their freebie.
7. Target also offers grocery coupons. My favorite trick is to pair these coupons with manufacturer coupons- they'll give you double the savings!

I hope these tips and sites help you. Treat yourself and save money!
