I highly recommend the bubble bars, so here's how to keep them cheap:

1) Divide each bubble bar into 4 chunks. They are so crumbly, you can easily tear a piece off when you need it. The big bars (i.e. Comforter) are good for at least 6 chunks. Each chunk is good fort 1 bath, so it works out to be around $1 per bath.

2) Buy a tea strainer. The big round metal mesh ones are best, and usually cost around $10 (but it will save you money). Just put the chunk in the strainer & turn on the hot water. No need to crumble, and any large chunks of flowers or plastic butterflies will be caught (Lush often puts these things in the bath bombs and bars, which are pretty but a mess to clean up). The tea strainer will turn your 1/4 chunk into bubbles 3 inches deep!!! Without the strainer, the bubbles won't be as high, but you can still try it before committing to the tea strainer.

That's it! Two steps to amazing Lush bubbles on a budget! I don't use bath bombs anymore (I'm allergic to citric acid) but you can divide those also by using a
