Ok, here is a breakdown of costs for the homemade detergent.

55 oz box of Washing Soda, average cost of $2.07
76 oz box of Borax, average cost of $2.89
1 bar of Fels Naptha, average cost of $1.14
The liquid recipe is about 64 loads and the powder detergent is about 24 loads.

1/3 bar Fels Naptha	$0.38
1/2 cup borax	$0.18
1/2 cup washing soda	$0.21

3/4 cup borax	$0.26

I then compared this to Tide. Here is what I found:

At Sams club you can get a 300 oz jug of Original Tide
Liquid (about 75 loads) for $16.42 = $0.22/load

At Sams club you can get a 300 oz jug of HE Tide Liquid
(about 78 loads) for $15.70 = $0.21/load

On Amazon you can get a 211 oz box of Original Tide
Powder (about 120 loads) for $24.35 = $0.20/load

On Amazon you can get an 81 oz box of HE Tide Powder
(about 31 loads) for $8.04 = $0.26/load

I hope this helps!
