40. Fleas in your carpet? 20 Mule Team Borax- sprinkle and let stand for 24 hours. Maybe this will work if you get them back again.
41. To keep FRESH FLOWERS longer Add a little Clorox , or 2 Bayer aspirin , or just use 7-up instead of water.
42. When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest, so you 'squeeze' for freshness or softness? Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week? Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a different color twist tie.
They are:

Monday = Blue,
Tuesday = Green,
Thursday = Red
Friday = White
Saturday = Yellow.

So if today was Thursday, you would want red twist tie; not white which is Fridays (almost a week old)! The colors go alphabetically by color Blue- Green - Red - White - Yellow, Monday through Saturday. Very easy to remember. I thought this was interesting. I looked in the grocery store and the bread wrappers DO have different twist ties, and even the ones with the plastic clips have different colors. You learn something new everyday! Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread with the right color on the day you are shopping.

Don't forget Gatorade for Migraine Headaches. PowerAde won't work. Pass this information on to friends so they can be informed

Instead of dryer sheets or liquid fabric softener throw a ball of aluminum foil into the dryer with your clothes. No static cling. Softens great too. Reusable.

I also use something like this in my laundry http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UmCPexGPKM

Cost approx $25 and lasts 3 years worth of one daily wash. If your clothes are extra dirty throw in 1/4 cup of washing soda. No need for laundry soap or softeners.

Buy some clearance Valentine's Day chocolate for Easter. I picked up two Dora hearts for 75 cents today that were regularly $5. They will be perfect for Easter. Other than the heart shape of the chocolate, there is nothing Valentine's on the box. My girls love Dora so they won't notice the difference whatsoever.

putting sheets inside pillowcases so that all of the bedding is in one place, rather than folding and stacking.

I'm glad I don't drink this stuff if it is that great of a cleaning product!" Really...

Cleaning your toilet with coca cola will get out the nastiest stains! One pinner said: "I had my cousin try it when they bought a house and the toilets were disgusting, this trick left the toilets looking like new! I have also used Coke for cleaning soot off of the fireplace heat box, or outdoor grill.

Kids/pets, water, snow got your phone wet??? Try this tip before freaking out. Leaving overnight or for several hours works best.

I love coke...hmmmmm...I seriously might try that, we have one toilet that could use some help.

If your linen closet looks like the one above I applaud you. Here is how my pillow cases look stuffed. Lol.

I was doing groceries and none of my coupons plus sales met my bottom dollar for bread (I was doing a one stop shop). Unhappy I looked at the bread from the bakery and it was $1.79. Remember to check out the bakery, they often have variety bags tagged in expensively, if you don't mind freezing or if you eat bread quickly, may be a good tip.

Deodorant works too!

we have a tiny garage and want a new garage with garage door opener
instead of a new garage, we found a good sale on a garage door opener and will paint the garage, so, kinda like a new garage

the garage door is fine and does not need to be changed
it does it's job

[Shwa Girl]

we are planning some little fixes to the tiny house this year
we had neglected it for a few years while I was in school
will spend the rest of the winter searching out the lowest priced options and then do the tiny fixes

we will need an electrician and found a handyman company that gives COUPONS periodically off the work done.
