It costs about $.11 per load. I make a double batch which will give me >128 loads. And, for the record, I do get expensive, organic bar soap to use in the recipe, although there's no reason why anyone should have to do that. I just prefer it. As far as I know it's better on the environment, and I get to customize the frangrance of my laundry soap. The detergent (note there is a difference between laundry soap and laundry detergent) that I use for the diapers does come out cheaper per load, at about $.07 per, but I have to use more of it at a time. And I only use it for diapers and nothing else so it lasts a good long time. I do about 2-3 loads of diapers per week.

It sounds like we might be using the same detergent, or a similarly priced one anyway. :-)

I've found commercial, even organic, baby foods are very runny and harder to feed to Kashti than the stuff I've made. All of the baby food I've made for him is finely pureed, but not so watery that it drips off the spoon when he eats it. K has a way of blowing out just before he takes a bite, so the commercial stuff will go flying off the spoon before it makes it into his eagerly waiting mouth. He loves what I've made, and so far that include bananas, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, avocado, and I also give him unsweetened commercial apple sauce. Should probably find an organic source for that.

I'd be interested in how much the laundry soap costs. I usually pay 2.25 per 32 loads (at least what the bottle says it 32 loads, I don't use as much as it says and I've never charted how many actual loads it goes for,)

Arie would never eat baby food. I bought about 35 jars of it for 5 cents a jar on average and even at that price it was a waste, i gave away or still have probably 25 jars, lol.
