Save a bundle

I purchased an antique home in NH built in 1804. My tip is SCOTT's is the only way to go. My septic tank inspection prior to closing was a vauable lesson. He told me only use SCOTT toilet tissue it says right on the package safe for septic tanks. I look around and sure enough they are the only ones that say that. To call a plumber is costly when all you have to do to sve a bundle is buy SCOTT!

shelf liners

Rather than spend a lot of money buying shelf liners for kitchen cupboard drawers, cabinets etc., buy vinyl covered wallpaper in the clearance center of stores and cut it to the size you need. Use it for dry products, utensils, cans etc. and just wipe clean or replace because the price is right.

Save money by making your own Laundry Soap

Making your own laundry soap is Easy and cheap. I make a 39lb bucket full for $2.80. It smells great and works very well. It takes about 10 mins to do. It is 1/3 bar fels naptha soap grated, 1/2 cup washing soda 1/2 cup Borax. Put soap in pan with 6 cups water heat til melted then add other ingredients stir till dissolved. In a bucket add 6 cups hot water pour mixture in then add 1 gallon 6 cups more hot water. Stir let sit 24 hours and its done. You have got to stir this everytime before use. You can also put it in old laundry bottles and shake before each use as well.This is also environmentally Friendly.

Coffe at Home

Sure its nice to get your favorite coffee out. However, at home you can add Honey, Cream, Hazelnut, even a tsp of coco to make chocolate and save over 20.00 a week. Then at that rate, buy an expensive machine for home and make it even more outstanding. SAVE

I recently made the mistake of buying Scott brand napkins, and found them to be a hugh disappointment. Thin as tolet paper, and not very absorbent.
