These are a few tips/recipes that have saved me loads of money! Three products that we use a lot of in our house are Febreze, all purpose kitchen cleaner (Fantastic, etc.) and liquid hand soap. I used to spend at least $25 a month on these. Now I spend around $3.50 a month. This is how you can do it too!
Doing these things has saved me so much money! I hope you are able to use and enjoy them yourself. :)

Oooh! I love these ideas. I'm imagining spending all the money I could save by using these tips! hee hee
You will save money by making your own effective cleaners, softeners etc. However, if you prefer to make your own odor reducer like Febreeze using the ingredients you state in your explanation, the resulting liquid will not mask odors more than the few minutes it takes for the new scent to dissipate into the air.
The key ingredient in Febreeze, hydroxypropyl beta-cyclodextrin (HPCD), binds the odor producing hydrocarbons. This action reduces the release of problem odors into the air. So, the odor producing problem is effectively "rounded up" and reduces further odor. Note that I said the action "reduces" further odor. Conveniently for Proctor & Gamble, this chemical action only works on about 60% of the problem smell at a time and is only effective for about 30 days. So, the smell is not permanently eliminated and requires continual application over time. Good money maker!
One of the things I like about these recipes is that the liquids do not come out of aerosol cans. I find as I am getting older that aerosols' are bothering my breathing more and more.
