If you can’t afford a gift, make or do something for the recipient. If you can’t afford air-conditioning, consider a ceiling or attic fan as an alternative. Making do was a proud tradition just a generation ago – it showed that you were smart, thrifty and responsible.

But for those of you doing 12, 14 and 17 loads it won’t last quite as long! But hey, six bottles of free detergent almost makes doing laundry bearable! If you already subscribe, leave a second separate entry saying you do so. . Based on most of your 8 loads or less, this works out to a six-month supply.

Plus, it can be really inconvenient to “make do or do without!” I felt bad for myself until my Grandma from the farm told me about the time she and Grandpa got so hot at night in their house (which of course had no electricity and thus no AC OR fans) that they picked up their bed and moved it outside! Inconvenient!
