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

I would think the trade off between time spent and money saved would have a poor ROI. Dependent, of course, on how much you value your time. You'd do better doing that extreme couponing. Cleaner, quicker, and saves you money on more than just toiletries.

Ya but thats like $900,000 they will save!

Just take toilet paper rolls home from work and or public restrooms.

you should watch that series on Netflix. I think it's called Serious Cheap Skates or maybe Serious Penny Pinchers.

There's a family that uses old clothes, rags, towels,etc cuts them into strips. Then washes them for re-use

My soap is homemade, I just pay somebody to make it

I really did believe millions would be saved. Still real to me.

My mother has made her own soap, shampoo, and detergent. I'd be for it if she said she just wanted to try it. She thinks she is really saving a ton of money. However, she probably saved a good bit using cloth diapers on me as a baby.
