You’ll save money by cooking there rather than eating out the whole time. Even if you just cook a few meals at the lake you’ll save money over eating out for every meal.

I was getting better at cloth napkins and rags when things were short of supply, but I guess I lost that lesson. I like your frugal menu. We are in a use it up mode as well since we are out of town, but will have a full kitchen at the lake, so I will bring food form home.SAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16485146123969622896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-22581866494294830262020-09-26T08:12:18.785-04:002020-09-26T08:12:18.785-04:00Thank you, Jackie.

Ofcourse, if you already have fabric, that would be even cheaper to make. <br /><br />I hope you have a great weekend.

You can find a recipe online though if you would like a recipe with amounts. I've seen one where they use one cup of the washing soda, one cup on the Borax, and one bar, grated, of the Fels Naptha. You're welcome, Judy.

If I were you, I would read up on the pros and cons of it and then decide. You could Google, "homemade laundry detergent and HE washers" and see what comes up. There are so many opinions about it and you can decide after reading them that you may not want to try it. I hope you let us know what you decided to do. :)Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486895127003368291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-15918995058831986612020-09-25T17:03:45.363-04:002020-09-25T17:03:45.363-04:00Same here, Anne.

My husband just bought a bunch of laundry soap at Costco, so we are good for a while, but I'll look into this for the future. <br /><br />I posted a frugal update as well today, but a few highlights: a Friday freebie at the store, eBay sales, garden produce, & using up a free meal service subscription.
