Let me first say, I am sorry I am late with picking a winner. My son came home from school sick yesterday and I have been busy holding the bucket for him since then.

I picked the winner this morning and it was number 432. Brandy from North Carolina. Brandy has been sent an email and has until Monday at 4:30 to respond. Thanks to all that entered!!!

Homemade Laundry Soap......

Ingredients:

1 bar fels naptha, grated
1 cup arm & hammer super washing soda laundry detergent (a laundry booster)
1/2 cup borax
hot water

Directions:

1. Place grated soap in a pot.
2. Cover with water and simmer over medium heat until all soap is melted, stirring occasionally.
3. Pour into 5 gallon bucket.
4. Add washing soda and borax.
5. Add enough hot water to fill the bucket.
6. Stir (I use a long measuring stick, but any long stick will work).
7. Let sit overnight to gel.
8. Use 1 cup per load.
9. (You can pour this into old detergent containers or leave in the bucket. Please cover with a lid if leaving in the bucket to protect children and pets.).

This costs pennies per load and works great!! Add a little white vinegar to the load as fabric softener.

Frugal and Tasty Low Fat Muffins...........

I have been buying Weight Watcher's brand muffins these last few weeks as I diet. They taste great but are very expensive! This is my frugal solution...........


I found this cake mix in my pantry with a 2/$1.00 sticker on the top of the box. I buy these at the discount grocery store. I also saved my uneaten bananas. Add some home made apple sauce and 3 eggs and that gave me all the ingredients!



I filled my cupcake tins and a loaf pan..................


....... and ended up with 24 cupcakes (I wonder where the missing cupcake could be?) and 1 mini cake. I froze the muffins so I can pull a few out at a time. What I did not count on was my DH and DD loving these like they did! The mini cake is already gone! Since all these cost under $1.00, I guess I can share!!
