How to make your own foaming soap!

I know it's been a while since this thread was posted, but I just found that Walmart has foaming handsoap under its Equate label. The top comes off, so it will be refillable. Best of all - it's $1.54!

Would adding water serve to make regular liquid hand soap more fluid (and therefore work well with a foaming dispenser), or is that just going to make the soap foam up in the bottle?

I've since tried both Dawn and an antibacterial hand soap...just used a small amount of the regular stuff and water. Shake well...and there you go. It's worked very well for us and saved tons of money in dish detergent and hand soap! This is a winner of an idea!!

Thanks to everyone who shared their tips and ideas for this!
