Reuse Foam Soap Dispensers To Make Your Own Foam Soap

Foam soap dispensers are picking up in popularity but what many consumers don't know is that using them can result in huge savings. I am a big fan of bath and body works foam soaps, but at $3 each on sale, it's still a lot for hand foam soap.

To get the same effect, I have some bath and body works foam soap dispensers from past purchases. When they start to empty, I refill my B&BW foam soap dispenser with a 1/4 to 1/3 cup of my favorite B&BW body wash, or whatever looks to be about that much in the bottom of the dispenser. Then I add hot water to fill the foam soap dispenser, turn it upside down and all around to mix the soap a bit. Pump until I see foam, and its ready to go. Instead of paying $3 every few weeks to replace the entire dispenser, I refill it from the same bottle of body wash over and over.
