Homemade Conditioner is NOT CHEAP

I've been Google-ing "homemade conditioner" for the past several months whenever I run out of my hair conditioner. But I haven't found anything cheap and practical so I haven't bookmarked any of the websites.

A lot of websites say homemade conditioner is cheaper than buying one because you can make it with stuff you already have at home... WRONG!  The stuff they are talking about are avocado, honey, olive oil, jojoba oil, etc. As far as my money is concerned, these are not cheap ingredients! In Los Angeles, one avocado costs from 88 cents to $1.50 unless you have a avocado tree in your backyard (if you live in westside of Los Angeles and have plenty of avocados that are going to waste on the ground, consider joining Westside Produce Exchange - bring your avocados and get other produce from others! It's free!). Jojoba oil costs $7.99 or $9.99 (can't remember) per 4 fl. oz. bottle at Trader Joe's and a little bit more at Whole Foods and Sprout, I think.
