• Many products that you're buying can easily be made at home for a fraction of the cost.
• Mouthwash, household cleaner, and rags can be made from things you probably already have in your house.
• You likely have all the ingredients for taco seasoning and croutons in your kitchen already.
• Making your own dog treats at home gives you the option to cater to your dog's specific needs.

Though you might be buying a lot of products at the store to save time, there's a long list of items that can be made simply with things you may already have on hand.

Everyday products like mouthwash, household cleaner, and rags can be made at home in minutes and can be just as effective as store-bought versions.

When you make something at home, you know exactly what goes in it, and that can be helpful, especially when they are being consumed. Dog treats, for example, are simple to make at home and let you know exactly what you are putting in your furry friend's body.
