Have you considered how much you will save if you can make basic substance like soaps, body sprays and cream at home. Consider this to be like when you decide to make home made meals instead of purchasing some expensive meals at a restaurant.
My mum here ( My aunty and younger sister to my late mum) is one of the best home maker I have ever seen, she is very industrious and often makes almost all the basic needs of the family by herself.
Instead of buying soap, she follows the diy process to make these items and have them available in the house all year round.
