This is a suggested schedule for accumulating a basic food storage.
Just some ideas – make it fit your family.
obviously you would purchase the necessary amount at that time rather than on the “scheduled week.”
Purchase the items listed per member of your family.
If your family does not eat a certain product then substitute for one that they will eat.

Homemade Bar Soap
Homemade bar soap
Mix 2.3 oz 100% lye drain opener with 7 oz COLD water. BE CAREFUL IT GETS VERY HOT! Heat 16oz lard, shortening, olive, or whatever kind of oil you want. Let both cool to about room temp. Put oil into blender. Slowly add lye mixture to oil. Add a tsp of essential oil, 1 Tbs honey, 1/3 cup oatmeal, and blend. Check it often til it thickens up like pudding. Once it comes to a trace pour into soap mold or square plastic dish. Let set 24 hrs, cut into bars, remove from container. Set aside somewhere to cure, about 6 wks. Enjoy! :)
Adding a tsp sugar to lye mixture will make your bars lather when used. If you want plain soap, don't add the honey, oatmeal, or essential oil. If you want you can add dried parsely flakes, powdered milk, etc.

by Back to the Basics--Hope for the best, Prepare for the Worst on Tuesday, February 1, 2011 at 11:11pm
You can save lots of money using these homemade softeners, I know I do!
LAUNDRY SOFTENER
Recipe #1
2 Cups White Vinegar
2 Cups Baking Soda
4 Cups Water
Combine slowly and carefully over sink. The baking soda and vinegar will fizz. Pour into plastic bottle, cover, and shake.
*Hint - Reuse your "Downy" bottle. (I also reuse my Downy bottle, fill with vinegar and add a couple of tbsp of Downy to make it smell like Downy, or you can use essential oils. Good thing is, even if you don't put anything in it besides vinegar, you clothes DO NOT smell like vinegar-B2B)
Use 1/4 cup in the final rinse or in a "Downy Ball".
Recipe #2
2-3 Cups Water
1 Cup Liquid Fabric Softener
Large Sponge
Combine water and liquid softener. Cut sponge in 1/2 and keep in liquid. When drying clothes, remove sponge, squeeze out excess liquid and place in dryer with clothes. When dry, just place sponge back in liquid to be used for next load.
Recipe #3
1 ½ Cups vinegar
2 Cups hair conditioner (any kind)
3 cups hot water
a few drops of Lavender and Lemon oil
