Baking soda is cheap, and it is a miraculous substance really.  I buy huge boxes of it.  Anyway, here are some things you can do with baking soda:

1. It helps get our grease and dirt when added to laundry soap.  Add about 1/2cup to the wash.
2.  Three tablespoons baking soda to one quart water makes a safe and effective marble cleaner.  Wipe on, let stand, and rinse.
3. Clean the dishwasher and keep it smelling fresh by running it through a cycle with just 1/4 cup baking soda.
4. If you scorch a pan before you throw it out put a layer of baking soda on the bottom and add about 1/2 inch layer of water.  Soak over night.  In the mornign you may find that the scorched part comes right off and you have saved your pan.
5. 1/2 cup in the bath water is a great skin softener and soother.
