Longer Lasting Paper Towels

Lot's of the ladies that I've come in contact with say they think paper towels are to expensive. They say their kids don't even use them completely. I suggested cut your sheet of paper towel in four pieces and give them only one piece at a time. They were pleased to find out the roll of paper towels lasts long and does not cost a lot after all.

Save those nickels and singles

I save all of my quarters and single dollar bills and its amazing how fast they add up to an amount I can use for a project in my home. For example, after about 7 months I have enough to have carpeting put in my two rooms and a hallway upstairs!

Happy Meals?

If your child insists on a happy meal from Mc Donald's you can save a lot of money by buying the 10 chicken nuggets and a small fry. The Chocolate milk you are forced to pay for in a Happy Meal costs $35.00 a gallon. Serve your own drinks at home for pennies. Even better, one chicken breast dipped in flour and fried in Crisco will save the cost of the nuggest and you can buy a 5 lb bag of fries and make your own for pennies.

Septic Tank Clog

We used other toilet papers in the past and found that they clogged up our septic tank quicker so it had to be pumped more often, but since using Scott Toilet Paper, which is the ONLY brand we use now, our septic tank has not had to be pumped as often and has not clogged up.

Stretch Your Dollars

Add extra milk or water and oatmeal or ground flaxseed to ground beef or turkey for healthier eating. Both of these ingredients (beef and turkey) are very inexpensive ... Stretch everything a little and save alot.

Remove Facial Hair for Less

Instead of paying the expesive salon fee to have facial hair removed via waxing; use generic wax or foam, it works just as well if not better. One bottle will last it seems like forever.

Saving Money on Vacations

My husband & I travel to beach for weekends several times a year; to cut cost, I have a cooler in the truck, which has knives, spoons, coffee condiments, few dishes & my old frying pan, Since sometimes we get a room without fridge I have cooler which I fill w/ice and put in things like cold cuts, hamburger meat & milk. We go to the store get items and fix meals for breakfast & lunch then splurge for supper. That way we can order the lobster w/out guilt.

I work every day in an outside job. It is relaxing to clip my coupons in the evenings & organize them.
