Updated costs for #1 and #2.

Please note that one of the updated homemade recipes (See Recipe 5) now costs more than 30 cents per load. The addition of 1 cup of vinegar per load and the number of loads per recipe (fewer loads for Recipe 5) made a significant difference. OK to leave in? In the future, may want to do a new version with a different angle if the gap between store bought and homemade costs narrows more.
