Frugal Foam Soap

Foaming soap, its great stuff but so expensive to buy on a regular basis; what's a frugal mom to do? My first thought was we will enjoy when it's on sale however my family enjoys using the foaming hand so much that one family member who requested to remain anonymous said "I can't stop washing my hands I love this stuff." As wife and mom that was incentive enough to find a way to keep this stuff in the house even when CVS is not running a special.

First I gathered the necessary equipment: 1 foaming soap dispenser, a measuring cup, liquid hand soap and warm water. I began by diluting a bottle of regular liquid soap we had with warm water and mixing it. A word of caution here DO NOT SHAKE to mix! Trust me on this one. If you use warm water you will only have gently stir it. My first few ratios were too thick and could not make there way up the tube, then I was too thin and my foam was limp and ran out of my palm. Finally after 4-5 attempts a ratio of 1 part soap to three parts water worked great! I had firm foam that came out of the dispenser easily!

We can now have foaming soap when ever we want and it does not bust the budget!
