Glad I ran across this. Looks like there are a lot of interesting things that people do to save money!

My name is John Wedding and I'm the webmaster of mightybargainhunter.com. I live in Virginia with my wonderful wife Vanessa and our three dogs Mosby, Timmie and Bucky.

I'm not sure where I saw this idea, but I save a little on hand dishwashing soap by diluting it. The reasoning here is that if you squeeze a bottle of Dawn while it's full strength, you'll get way too much in the sink. By cutting it quite a bit (I usually do it about 10 to 1) you can still get plenty of suds and make a bottle last for a long time.

I heard that one consumer products maker was accused once of making the liquid soap runnier so that people would go through it faster. But that might be an urban legend.

I hope to share what I know with you all! This should be fun!
