We go through a lot of soap in the Vescapades house, soap and toilet paper. I can't make my own toilet paper (although we do live about 2 blocks from a corn field...Haha), but I can make my own hand soap. For about $3.50 I can make a gallon of hand soap using my favorite bars of Ayurvedic soap. It's so easy I can whip up a batch in the morning before school and pour it into bottles before bedtime (it has to set for 10-12 hours).
I followed the tutorial on this blog. A few notes about this soap: it has the consistency of snot. So, as you pour it into bottles you might need to squish it between your fingers to break up the soft "chunks" of soap. A funnel is a valuable tool at the bottle-filling stage. Also, you can grate the bar of soap by hand, but I use a food processor.
If you are trying to be funny, you can tell the kids when they ask what you are cooking that they are having soap for supper. Yum yum.
