How much money can be saved by making your own toiletries?

Stuff like toothpaste and deodorant can easily be made in bulk...soap shampoo the same. Has anyone ever looked into how much a family of 4 could save by making their own? I'm guessing millions over a 25 year period

Not only would you save money on the toiletries, you'd also save money from all the dates you wouldn't be going on.

I wipe my arse with old newspapers. Save like 20 bucks a year.
That can feed a family of 4 at Burger King for one night

This, although the OP mentioned a family of four. Let's just say his chances of making it a family of five would be sharply reduced - on both sides.

Why would you go through the trouble to do this?
My time is worth money. I'm not a hippie. I'm not weird. I buy my toiletries like a normal person.

Specialization brah, leave the soap making to the soap makers. Your time is worth more working your actual job than what you'd save by making soap.

If a family of four is living off of $100,000 after taxes then in 25 years they would make 2.5 million total. In order to save millions they would have to be already spending well over 80‰ of their annual income on toiletries alone.
So no. They wouldn't save millions. If they really tried they might save a couple thousand. But hundreds is more likely. And that's a pure monetary assessment without factoring opportunity costs, etc...

Assuming this is serious, just do the coupon thing. My aunt has so many shampoo bottles, toothpaste, etc a legit entire room of them. And they aren't well off.

To say a family would save millions is absolutely ridiculous. Being very generous here...the average college educated couple brings in 6 million in a lifetime. Less than 1/2 percent would go towards soap or shampoo.

The OP would have been fun to watch at any point of Western Civilization over the past three hundred years.

Just to save to save 2 million you would have to currently be spending $80,000 a year on toiletries.

I didn't realize this was a thread I'm pretty high maintenance and I don't spend more than a hundred dollars a month on hygiene products
