Stop wasting money on expensive dish soap refills - just add water to your old bottle

I watched my roommate drop $8 on a new bottle of Dawn last week when the old one was still half full. That got me thinking, so I tested it myself. I took my almost-empty dish soap bottle, filled it halfway with tap water, shook it up, and used it for a full 7 days. It cleaned just as good as the thick stuff. My friend Sarah in Austin tried it too and said her plates came out fine. Why are we paying for water when we already have it at home? I saved about $12 a month just doing this. Has anyone else tried cutting their soap with water or am I the only one?

Hang on wait, you've been DOING that? @uma_webb28 I feel like you're playing with fire lol. Dish soap is already mostly water, so watering it down more just seems like you're asking for trouble. I guess if it still gets things clean then more power to you but man that would stress me out
