In the world of DIY, which these days is growing by leaps and bounds, I’ve taken on the pursuit of discovering, testing, and relying on making household and grocery items myself rather than forking out the big bucks to buy things off the shelf.

I can’t say every trial has been a hit, but it is amazing to count up the successes! For example: laundry detergent. Then there’s homemade dusting spray (fabulous), shower soap and scum remover (better than anything you can buy), and so many more, which you can find at EverydayCheapskate.com/doityourself. But watercolor paints? I'd never thought about making them myself until I heard from Kerry.
