So we are on the last category – Frugality! And as we continue with each of these, we wanted to encourage you to make continued steps for frugality so that you can more freedom with your money.

Baby Step #26

Begin or Continue to Replace Store-bought Products with Homemade Versions

One very easy frugal move to make is in the area of homemade cleaning products.  They are easy to make, cheap to make, safe to use and effective!

We have been working on the list of 26 Homemade Cleaners Recipes and we will continue to grow this list! The best news is that there is a printable shopping list to be able to make the 26 cleaners with 12 ingredients and $9! You can also find information on how to give these products an efficiency boost with affordable essential oils as well.  Just find the recipe from this list HERE for the commercial cleaning products that you want to replace and then make those (you don’t need to make all 26, just the ones you would use!).

Start with one switch and add another every couple of weeks or so and soon enough, you will have your cleaning pantry filled with your own products and you will saved hundreds!

To see the full list of recipes, head to our cleaning page HERE. 

One final thing….. we also have a Facebook Group where you can engage in discussions, receive encouragement and talk to others that are participating in the challenges too for more ideas! Head to the Be Intentional with The Thrifty Couple Facebook Page HERE and ask to join us there! You can also invite friends and spouses too!

    If you should use cleaning services to clean your home in order to save your time and spend it on something more pleasant and useful, unless of course you enjoy this process, then in the case of offices, restaurants, and various retail stores, I consider cleaning mandatory . If you are looking for a reliable cleaning service, I recommend retail cleaning service. J&I Cleaning provides excellent cleaning services that are not too expensive.
