    I learned how simple it is to make your own products. It always seems like such an overwhelming task before you start but then once you jump into it you realize it only takes a few things to make a decent house cleaning product! I used vinegar and water to make a simple solution for cleaning counters/tabletops etc. I think the biggest difference is actually the ease of creating it. When I run out next time I can quickly make it at home instead of having to run to the store to replace it.
