7) Make Homemade Toothpaste

A simple way to make a very cheap homemade toothpaste is by mixing 2/3 cup baking soda with 1 teaspoon salt and a few drops of food-grade peppermint oil (or any other oil that’s edible). Intuition tells us that perhaps folks during the Great Depression would have most likely left it unflavored or used a tiny bit of fresh peppermint leaf. Recipe adapted from DIY Natural.
