One of my favorite money saving tricks is to re-use those fancy foaming hand soap dispensers. Once the original product is emptied from multiple hand washings or preschoolers pumping it all over the counter it is really easy to refill the thing.

Simply put about a quarter of an inch of your favorite dish soap and then fill the rest up with water. Give it a shake and its good to go. Amazingly I find those pumps with soap in them at the store for up to $3.00! By refilling it a few dozen times you are saving huge money on buying new each time.

The pumps do eventually break down and become sticky, but replacing them after a few dozen fillings is a pittance versus replacing them each time.

Finding the right dish soap balance is something that might need tweaking as well, but it only takes a few times to get it figured out. My favorite lately is Dawn Apple antibacterial. No one in this house likes overly scented stuff, so when I tried using Palmolive Oxy it got vetoed after the first round.

Good luck!
