It's bloggy giveaway time and I'm so excited to be participating this year.
One of the biggest money savers I've found is making my own laundry soap. It's hypo-allergenic, great in the new energy efficient or front loading washers and saves me a ton of money each month.
It comes to just pennies a load and it's quick and easy to make.
So to spread the thrifty luv, my giveaway includes all the ingredients and instructions to make three batches of your very own laundry soap.
This will be MONTHS of clean clothes!
Now if only I could figure out how to send the winner a housekeeper to do the laundry for her.
The box that will arrive at the lucky winners home will include...
Arm and Hammer Washing Soda, Fels Naptha soap, and Borax.
Plus I threw in a bottle of Mrs. Stewarts Liquid Bluing to keep all your whites sparkly.
To Enter...
- Leave a comment and make sure you leave a link or an e-mail address so I can contact you if you win.
- You must enter by 4pm PST, friday, April 25th to be eligable for the random drawing.
Winners will be announced by 6PM PST on friday, April 25th.
Go check out all the fun and FREE giveaways at Bloggy Giveaway Central.
