Using
|
You do not have to install solar panels to take advantage of the suns heat. Instead, open your curtains in the afternoon, when the sun is the strongest. The temperature inside will rise a few degrees, which means you can turn the heat down and save as much as $55. to $100. this winter.

Make your disposable Facial Wash cloth last longer
|
Those disposable facial cloth can last you twice as long, cut each one of them in half when you opened the box, they are still plenty big and will last for 60 days instead of 30, without missing out on any benefits.

Getting Free items from your grocery store
|
Some Supermarket stores have guaranteed sales item watch for them and shop on the last day of the sale or at the end of a busy week-end, if the items are not in stock asked for a rain check with one free item or a free pound if it is meat. Usually you have 30 days to
cash your free slip in. I got several items completely free, T-Bone steak a few time, Tropicana juice several time and vegetables, fruits and more....try it, it work.

A MUST READ FOR PARENTS - Kids -Worth the cost
|
Well worth reading, from start to finish. Unknown author
KIDS - WORTH THE COST
The government recently calculated the cost of raising a child from birth to 18 and came up with $160,140 for a middle-income family.
Talk about sticker shock. That does not even touch college tuition. For those with kids, that figure leads to wild fantasies about all the things we could have bought, all the places we could have traveled, all the money we could have banked if not for little Billy.
For others, that number might confirm the decision to remain childless. But $160,140 is not so bad if you break it down. It translates into $8,896.66 a year, $741.38 a month or $171.08 a week. That is a mere $24.44 a day. Just over a dollar an hour.
Still, you might think the best financial advice says do not have children if you want to be rich.

Do not carry a purse, use your pockets!
|
I Organize your multi-pocket jeans, and slacks. Use a 3-3/4 in tall by 4-1/2 in wide snap closure purse with a zipper bottom opening for change and an extra car key. Carry one credit card, drivers license, grocery savings cards, a blank emergency check in a plastic holder and your bills folded in half. Carry it in your front pocket for security. Use your other front pocket to keep your car/house keys. TIP: Always use the same pockets.

DECORATING IDEAS
|
Try hanging small plastic ornaments from the four
corners of your tablecloth to add a decorative touch.
To do this, pin ornaments to the corners with large safety pins. Be sure to pin underneath the cloth in order to hide the pin. This also helps to keep your tablecloth from slipping out of place.

SAVE on top of the line shampoo!
|
| If you want to save on expensive shampoo, shampoo first with a good lower price shampoo, rinse, and shampoo with your top of the line shampoo, the results should be about the same as if you shampoo twice with your expensive shampoo. Definetly worth the try. |
Christmas, money saving idea
|
| Make a Christma tree skirt in minutes ( no sewing) Use an old Christmas design tablecloth, cut it in a circle, cut a slit from the edge to the centre of your circle and then cut out a small circle in the middle to fit the tree thru, and you have a pretty tree skirt for your Christmas tree. |
