5 Things We Make at Home Instead of Buying (And 2 We Never Would)

Saving money with frugal living tips — 5 things to make at home for debt free living, from diy cleaners to homemade cleaner swaps.

We’re Julia & Aaron, The Canny Couple — a debt-free family in rural Southwest Virginia living dirt cheap on purpose. In this video I’m sharing the 5 things we actually make instead of buying — diy cleaners from a $3 gallon of vinegar that lasts 6+ weeks, homemade cleaner with vinegar and baking soda, freezer pizzas for under $1.87, seasoning mixes for $0.19 vs $1.07 a packet, hand soap from a $1.49 bar that makes a gallon for foaming dispensers, and a door snake from a tight-rolled old towel with hair bows — plus the 2 we quit making because one hurt my skin and the other ruined dishes in our hard water.
