Greetings Thrifty Friends,

Research shows antimicrobial ingredients triclosan and triclocarban are no better at washing away germs than those without it--and they may actually contribute to allergies, impaired reproduction, hormone disruption, and weakened muscles. But you can make your own DIY hand sanitizer to keep your hands germ-free all season long.

Keep pinchin' those pennies,
