Money saving tips and tricks

THE SOLUTION TO THE ONE MISSING SOCK

SOCK DUSTERS

Turn them inside out (so the fuzzy side is out) and your hand in the sock. And go! It’s as easy as that. They pick up all of the dust, dog hair and small specks of debris. And the best part is, you just throw them in the wash when you’re done and your dust socks are good to go again.

As another tip, when you wash and dry your dust socks, don’t use fabric softener or dryer sheets. The added static build up helps the socks pick up even more dust.

What's the ratio between Dawn & white Vinegar? Sounds interesting...would like to try it!

I found it.
It says to take an empty spray bottle, fill 3/4 full with regular white vinegar and 1/4 with Dawn liquid dish soap.

Thank You!

Well I enjoyed this. I'll be saving money on cooking spray in my grocery budget. All you need is a spray bottle and 1 part olive oil to 4 to 5 parts filtered or distilled water. Make sure your bottle is clean or sterilized. How easy is that.

Thanks, I should try this one.

Easily remove sand from your hands by "washing" them with baby powder! This works great for cleaning kids up after playing in the sand box as well!

Cool! I had not heard of this before.

oil and water are not misible and remain seperate unless shaken well before use. Add a splash of lemon or lime juice to help them mix better.

As an alternative to buying kitchen compost bags- when making your own compost isn't an option, microwave popcorn bags are compostable and fairly durable so i have started using them as a liner for my kitchen compost bin. Given that I don't eat that much popcorn and I have a good amount of compost weekly I also have a compost bowl that sits on my counter and gets emptied daily (which works fine in the winter since scraps freeze in the compost bin once tossed). I have also used paper bags lined with used parchment which also works well.

Cheers,

Snip.

When I make garlic spare-ribs or meatballs, I freeze the remainder of the sauce in a ziploc bag, saves alot of $

Peanut butter jars work very well also. Great for soups etc.
