Make your own pantry staples, cleaning products, pet food, health and beauty supplies, and hundreds of other household itemsâfast, fresh, and more naturally.
Here are low-cost, all-natural replacement recipes for more than 700 name-brand products that you buy week in and week out at the supermarket, pharmacy, or discount store. Save a fortune making your own everyday cooking, cleaning, and toiletry products! At the same time, youâll fill your cabinets with fresh, super high-quality products that work or taste greatâwithout all the chemicals and preservatives of store-bought versions. Plus, âthink greenââyou will greatly reduce the amount of useless, environment-damaging waste and garbageâspray bottles, jars, and cans. For cleaning, laundering, and polishing, the compounds are much gentler and less damaging to drains, sewage, and septic systems.
The ingredients in most brand-name products account for only pennies of the purchaserâs dollar and rest of what you spend covers advertising, packaging, shipping, and the retailerâs overhead.
