Looking for a less expensive alternative to buying Damp-Rid products

Question

Damp rid helps to collect excess moisture in damp areas (basement. Etc).  I purchase them at home stores; however the price really adds up.  I was looking for a cheaper alternative and/or perhaps a homemade mixture.  Thanks I advance for your assistance.

sounds as if you need to invest in a dehumidifier. If you have too much moisture this can cause mold and mildew and this is not good for your health. Dehumidifiers are an investment but if properly taken care of they will last several years. plus you can use the water to water your plants (if you have plants). Just my 2 cents.

They make a DEHUMIDIFIER FOR large spaces like basements. We had one years ago and it made a huge difference.
