As an addition to the above ingredients, I wanted to share something that my husband and I spotted while on our date to the grocery store (Yes, I take what I can get in the way of dates! lol! Any time alone with my man is a good time, no matter where we are.). Anyway, I saw this:

Now, I’ve been making my own liquid laundry detergent for a while. However, I was never able to add a scent to it because I don’t have a place nearby to get essential oils. Our clothes looked clean, but didn’t have that “fresh” scent. So, I thought I’d add this Purex Crystals Laundry Enhancer into this powdered detergent recipe to see how it worked. I put it into my most recent batch. I used a cap full, plus another half of a cap full, and it works GREAT! The laundry smells so fresh and clean. I will probably only add one cap full to the recipe next time. I think I like this dry recipe better than the liquid because it’s easier to make and store. I hope this is a help to someone. I’m grateful to the Duggar family for sharing their money saving tips! 🙂
