Make-Your-Own

With the H1N1 flu going around, everyone is buying waterless hand sanitizers. This can be costly so, you may want to investigate a homemade version. I found one at eHow: How to Do Just About Everything.

There are plenty of things which you can make on your own for a whole lot less than the commercial brand. Here are just a few examples, and some books to show you the way:
