Bloggy Giveaways!

Bloggy Giveaways Quarterly Carnival Button

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.

OOOOO! I would love to switch from the harmful laundry detergent I'm currently using, but I was scared to venture into using better things for fear I'd get the wrong thing or use it incorrectly. This would really get me going in the right direction!

I would love to make my own laundry detergent. I have used mule team borax in the past and I've liked it. I use Arm & Hammer products all of the time. I like the possibility of this working and lasting a long time. Always looking for a way to be economical and all-natural. Thanks for the idea.

I've always wanted to learn how to make my own laundry detergent. Plus the expensive brands I use like Tide don't always remove stubborn stains so it's money gone to waste.
