Yes, I went ultra frugal and made my own deodorant- crazy right, I mean, can’t I just use some coupons and get it free or almost free. Yes, I could, but..I have been advised by my doctor to use an aluminum free deodorant for health reasons.And the expensive “natural” alternatives to regular deodorant are just not cutting it. And to be honest I was never that exited about the effectiveness of the regular stuff anyway.
So, a few months ago when I saw Kitchen Stewardship’s post on her homemade deodorant I was intrigued, not really for the frugalness of it, but because I wanted it to work.
I took the plunge a few days ago and mixed up her recipe of virgin coconut oil (since I recently bought a gallon of the stuff), corn starch and baking soda, and you know what?… It’s awesome. Not only is it cheap but it actually works. Not just pretty good- but really good. It has a nice coconut scent, keeps me dry and smelling nice all day. Granted, it is winter and I don’t know how it will hold up in the summer but I wasn’t pleased with my results of the other deodorants in the winter or summer.

I did not price it out- but I can’t imagine a tube costing more than $0.50- and maybe less. But again, that is not really what I care about.. I mostly care that I smell great 🙂
