Frugalness!

Lately I have been skimming other blogs, Im curious to see their whole graphic setup. I noticed in a few of them the word "Frugal" having no idea what this meant I did a little research and am very excited to announce that I too would like to be frugal! So this is the beginning and im warning you, I have a tendency of starting things and not finishing them....
Yesterday I was skimming prices of laundry detergent at our local dollar store. Crazy prices! With twi and a half people in my house, you would think my laundry wouldnt be an issue, well that 1/2 lil man loves jumping in puddles and driving that darn 4 wheeler into the pond. I think I do a considerable amount of laundry for 3 people! Anywho I saw that a blogger had posted the recipe for laundry soap and it looked so simple. Being that I am allergic to smells...Fragrant detergents, shampoos, and soaps often leave me feeling itchy and irritated so I have been religiously "Gain" for about 3 years now.
Heres the recipe for the new furgal detergent...

1/2 bar Fels Neptha Soap

1 cup Borax

1 cup Washing Soda

1 tbs. Glycerin

Grate the soap and mix with 8 cups warm water. Add rest of ingrediants and shake in a jug. Add more water to create two gallons of detergent. (You can condense it if you choose)

Im really excited to try this out. The only problem I have would be finding these ingrediants locally, especially the Fels Neptha Soap. I'll have the results soon!
