I haven't gotten up the nerve to try my hand at making bar soaps just yet. It seems so daunting....
Our grocery store recently started selling milk in glass bottles. The first time you buy the milk, it costs $5 or so/gallon, but when you return the bottles, you get a $2.25 deposit back. As long as you remember to exchange your bottles, the milk is no more expensive than the regular brands--and it's much better quality. It's from Memory Lane Dairy in Fordland, Missouri. I love it. They also sell some fun flavors that our kids enjoy trying out: Orange Dream (aka dreamsicle?), Root Beer Float, and Cotton Candy, as well as the more common strawberry and chocolate milk. We haven't tried the cotton candy flavor yet, but the kids love all the other flavors. They also sell cream top milk which is awesome, except the kids kept thinking it was spoiled. 
I doubt I'll ever buy body scrubs again. The nice Alba scrub I used to buy runs about $12 for 3 oz. What I make myself is soooo much nicer and I can make large quantities of it for a lot less cost.
