This is a silly post… except it isn’t – it’s been a huge cost saver and an AWESOME help to my DIY compulsion.

Why do you need liquid castille soap?  If you make your own dish soap, shampoo or pumping hand soap – you do!

but – it’s expensive.. Hey if you want to buy it – here is my affiliate link. I’ll post some recipes in just a bit.

Castile Liquid Soap-Lavender Dr. Bronner’s 1 Gallon Liquid

or you can do it my way and save LOTS of $$$ for more soap.

Buy this :

Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps Pure-Castile Soap, All-One Hemp Citrus Orange, 5-Ounce Bars (Pack of 6)

take that one bar and shred it – you know, on one of these

Cuisinart CTG-00-BG Boxed Grater

and then boil it in a pot of water I do just less than a gallon..  all the shredded soap until it dissolves.

Then I store mine in a pickle jar.  

This is a previously made set of soaps from fancy shower gels meant to replace fancy shower gels.  I made these GALLONS of liquid soap for 1.50 each and when I make castille soap, a GALLON costs 3.50-4.50 depending on how much I end up paying for the bar 🙂

Isn’t that awesome?!

add it to a little pumper jar and add some of your favorite essential oils 🙂

You can get Young Living Essential oils here  ~ http://www.youngliving.org/mommaplus   ~ affiliate links for Amazon enclosed.

I cannot believe how much money this has saved us and I hope you give it a try!

Blessings!
