I am a Feld Family Ambassador, and in exchange for my time and efforts in attending shows and reporting my opinion within this blog, as well as keeping you advised of the latest discount offers, Feld Entertainment has provided  with complimentary tickets to Feld shows and opportunities to attend private Feld pre-Show events.

Even though I receive these benefits, I always give an opinion that is 100% mine.

Saving Dimes With Dish Soap

     As you know, I am always looking for little ways to save money.  I firmly believe that finding all the little ways we can save are what really make a difference.  I have said it before, we know money leaks out of our budget on little things, so the concept must work in reverse.  A foaming dish soap pump, will do just that...put a little bit of money back in your wallet.

    I bought mine on a really great sale (with coupons of course) about two years ago.  I bought the Dawn Direct Foam pump and I just keep refilling it.  It does not matter which dish soap I use in it, I fill the bottle with 1/3 dish soap and the rest with warm water.  I usually only need to refill it once every two weeks and the big bottle of dish soap under my sink lasts a few months.  I find that it works great and I never feel like I need more soap.  The only thing I use the regular bottle on is when I am filling up the sink to wash dishes by hand.

     With the cost of dish soap at around $3 a bottle and average usage is one bottle per month, I figure I am saving $2 a month.  Well, I usually get my dish soap for $1 for the big bottle or free per small bottle using coupons and watching sales.  So that means I am only paying $.33 or $0 a month for dish soap...I love saving money on necessities!  So, all in all, I could be saving $2-$3 per month on dish soap...that could be $36 per year!  Not bad for something as small as dish soap!
