It seems like bath bombs are in every store I go into – including grocery stores! At my local Kroger store, I see displays of colorful, fragrant bath bombs that come with a pretty hefty price tag – usually $7 or more.
And while I’m all about self care, I am not flush enough to drop $7 for one bath. Luckily, it is super easy and inexpensive to make bath bombs in bulk at home, so I still get to enjoy them!
