Some Random Money Saving Tips

Here are some tips I have read that I'd like to pass on to you:

  • Don't get rid of those old rubber bands girls. You now the type found on the mail or veggies. Did you know you can use them to help unscrew a stripped screw? Yep, put the rubber band over the head of the screwdriver and put the screwdriver into whats left of the notch. The rubber band fills in the missing and messed up areas. Presto your stripped screw is out.
  • Ok, so I'm sure many of you have fallen in love with the foaming hand soap dispensers. I personally use the automatic dispenser one. But if you are one that uses the foam, did you know you can cut the price of the refill? Just take some regular hand soap and mix with water in the bottle. The sprout actually automatically makes the foamy bubbles for you.
  • Want a quick and easy fire starter? Soak a few corks (from wine bottles) in rubbing alcohol. Then place under the logs and instant fire starter. I would suggest soaking for a couple of days before and taking them out right before using them.
  • Apparently most people use to much dish soap. A way to stop this and save some money is to put your dish soap in a spray bottle watered down. Just spray each dish with this solution and and wash as usual.
  • Do  you go through a lot of toilet paper or paper towels? Here's a quick tip: Squish the tube. Its that easy the non round tube will make you more aware of how much you use and you will use less.
  • Don't throw out your old candles. They actually make great pin cushions.
