Question: Do you find you use more when you make it yourself?

My best friend and I were surveying our products after our making day last week, and I joked that the 15 or so jars of sugar scrub should last us until Valentine's Day because we both burn through so much of it...and it got me to thinking about our use of our products.

Wanda mentioned how much she loved sugar scrub but lamented at the cost, so we made it. I know I use far too much body wash on my lime green pouffy, and I'm fairly sure I'm this close to being considered a foot lotion abuser as I slather it half way up my leg. I think I've mentioned before that I didn't use any lotions or moisturizers before I started making my own because I couldn't find anything that felt nice. Now I must have a bottle of hand lotion nearby at all times!

So here are the questions: Do you find you use more of your products because you know you can always make more? Are you using products you would never buy in the store, either due to cost or availability, or just not liking the skin feel? Are you making products you've never bought in the past because you can make it yourself?

As always, I ask because I'm curious!
