2 CUPS OF BONELESS CHICKEN BREAST/THIGH
1 CUP OF OLIVE/COCONUT OIL

INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP 1: BEAT EGGS WITH FOLK OR BEATER TO LOOSEN THE YOLKS.  CUBE THE CHICKEN INTO BITE SIZES. 

STEP 2: IMMERSE CHICKEN, A HANDFUL AT A TIME, INTO THE EGG YOLKS.  THEN TRANSFER IT TO THE FLOUR TO COAT.

 

STEP 3:  ADD 1/2 CUP OF OIL INTO A DEEP PAN, TURN HEAT ON HIGH.  ADD CHICKEN TO PAN WHEN OIL IS HOT.

STEP 4: LEAVE EACH SIDE OF CHICKEN FOR 3-4 MINUTES OR UNTIL IT TURNS BROWN.  USE A MESH COVER TO PREVENT OIL SPLASHING.

PROJECT: A GALLON OF LIQUID HAND SOAP FOR A DOLLAR!

PROJECT: A GALLON OF LIQUID HAND SOAP FOR A DOLLAR!

I Will Never Buy Liquid Hand Soap Again

Step 1 : Grate a bar of body wash soap to fine pieces.  I find that doing this with gloves and using parchment paper when grating soap, make clean up easy!

STEP 2: BOIL A GALLON OF WATER, THE STIR IN THE GRATED SOAP.  TURN OFF HEAT, STIR TO MELT THE SOAP.

STEP 3: LET SOLUTION SIT AT ROOM TEMPERATURE FOR 12 HOURS.  THE SOLUTION WILL THICKEN AND HAVE A JELLY CONSISTENCY.

STEP 4: USE HAND BLENDER TO BREAK UP THE JELLO SOAP CHUNKS.  STOP WHEN IT BECOMES MORE LIQUID, BLEND ABOUT 3 MINUTES.

STEP 5: PREPARE CLEAN CONTAINERS FOR STORAGE.  USE FUNNEL TO POUR SOAP IN CONTAINER.  DO THIS OVER SINK... IT CAN GET MESSY IF YOU GOT UNSTEADY HANDS.  POUR SLOWLY... POUR VERY SLOWLY! 

Enjoy your $1.00 gallon of soap!

PROJECT: NEVER BUY LAUNDRY DETERGENT AGAIN

PROJECT: NEVER BUY LAUNDRY DETERGENT AGAIN

INTRODUCTION:

LEFT: ARM AND HAMMER SUPER WASHING SODA $3.24 AND PUREX FELS-NAPTHA $1.15.  THIS YIELDS 160 TABLESPOONS OF DETERGENTS OR 160 LOADS OF LAUNDRIES.  A SUCCESSFUL $5.00 EXPERIMENT LEAVING CLOTHES CLEAN, FRESH, AND SOFT!

RIGHT: GAIN LIQUID DETERGENT $9.97 AND ULTRA DOWNY FABRIC SOFTENER $9.97.  THIS YIELDS 64 LOADS OF LAUNDRIES RESULTING IN CLOTHES THAT MAY STILL HAVE ODOR/STAINS. 

CONCLUSION:

I HATED HAVING DEODORANT STAINS OR ODOR ON THE CLOTHES AFTER 2 HOURS OF WASHING AND DRYING WHEN USING REGULAR DETERGENTS.   MY HUSBAND PLAYS SPORTS SO HIS CLOTHES HAVE GRASS STAINS AND RETAIN ATHLETE ODORS; BUT THIS HOMEMADE DETERGENT TRULY SOLVED MY PROBLEMS.  I DON'T HAVE TO USE BLEACH OR WASH THE CLOTHES TWICE.  SAVE ME WATER, TIME, ELECTRICITY, WEAR AND TEAR ON THE CLOTHES.   

IF I WASH THREE LOADS OF LAUNDRY ON AVERAGE PER WEEK (52 weeks in a year times 3 loads of laundry per week), THEN THIS HOMEMADE DETERGENT WILL LAST ME A YEAR (156 LOADS AT LESS THAN $5.00 PER YEAR).  I USE ONE TABLESPOON OF DETERGENT PER LARGE LOAD OF LAUNDRY 

IF I WASH THREE LOADS OF LAUNDRY ON AVERAGE PER WEEK (52 weeks in a year times 3 loads of laundry per week, THEN THESE STORE BOUGHT DETERGENTS WILL COST ME MORE THAN $60 PER YEAR (NOT INCLUDING WATER, TIME, AND ELECTRICITY) SINCE I MIGHT HAVE TO WASH MY CLOTHES TWICE.  

OVERALL, I WILL BE SAVING $55.00 A YEAR OR AN EQUIVALENT TO A REALLY GOOD STEAK DINNER!

 EASY INSTRUCTION: 

COMBINE ARM & HAMMER SUPER WASHING SODA WITH THE PUREX FEL-NAPTHA (GRATE THIS WITH CHEESE GRATER).
