Essential oils, lye, and some kind of vegetable oil are fairly cheap if one is willing to go full crunchy and make their own. You just have to wait a few weeks for your soap to cure, and be really cautious with the lye because it will burn you.
Alternatively, bar soap is always better bang for your buck. I’m on Old Spice 3-in-1 because something I can squeeze out of a bottle let’s me be lazier, but when mega broke Irish Spring has saved my hide many a time.
Vinegar + old newspapers is a great window cleaner. Better than windex.
I make my own cotton dishrags with whatever cheapest/ugly cotton yarn is available.
But you can’t really beat Dawn for dishes or Tide for clothes. I’ve tried.
Yeah, dishes and clothes are often the exception depending on what off-brands you can find, because of the extra surfactants and softeners used. But for cleaning yourself and general surfaces most generic soap works exactly like the stuff that can cost several times as much.
I'll back up the vinegar in a spray bottle and free newspaper being the best for cleaning windows. The vinegar smell goes away in a couple minutes and it doesn't leave streaks.
