TIPS FOR LAUNDRY SOAP: We use Fels-Naptha bar soap in the homemade soap recipes, but you can use Ivory,

Sunlight, Kirk's Hardwater Castile or Zote bars. Don't use heavily perfumed soaps. We buy Fels-Naptha by the

case from our local grocer or online. Washing Soda and Borax can often be found on the laundry or cleaning

aisle. Recipe cost approx. $2 per batch.

Inexpensive Fabric Softener Recipes

1 Cup White Vinegar

Add vinegar to rinse cycle. Works great. Removes residue and odors. Also helps to keep washing machine and

hoses fresh and clean too.

Recipe #2

4 Inexpensive sponges, cut in half

Pour entire container of softener into a 5 gallon bucket. Fill empty softener container with water twice. (2

mixture from one sponge and add to the dryer as you would a dryer sheet.

Below are 90 Food Storage Menu Ideas. Adjust to suit the needs of your family. The x indicates how many times

you serve the menu. These menus use a combination of small canned, packaged and long-term foods. Some

bread may be stored in your freezer; however it may also be homemade. Menus have homemade spaghetti

sauce, AND spaghetti sauce in a jar for times when you need simple preparation or emergency cooking. You

decide. Snacks are included as many of us need to eat something between meals. Many of these meals are

simple enough for teens or a spouse to prepare. Include a few freezer foods, but don’t depend on your freezer

unless you have a generator. Menus that require freezer foods are italicized. Most menus use shelf-stable

products.

page it is on. I love this book because her recipes use shelf stable foods. Of course you could substitute fresh

meat for canned meat.
