Combine your coupons with sales!

I clip coupons for items that I buy on a regular basis and items that I would buy if I could get them for a really cheap price or even free. You would be surprised at how many items go on sale at your local retailer within 1-4 weeks from the time a coupon for that same item is distributed. I combine my coupons with sales when possible to maximize my savings. I also hold on to my coupons until the day they expire, because you never know when you will run into a great deal!

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.

The coupons wont save you money if you dont remember to use them. So I got a nylon coupon holder & using the labeled divers that came with it to sort, I took envelopes used them to divde even more (Health Beauty *HBA* with envelope for shaving that held all shaving items from razors, shaving cream, etc; HAIR included, shampoo, conditioner, styling product. I found that doing that I grab them fast if Im in line w/out holding up the line.

Preserving Milk

When milk is on sale, buy extra and freeze it. It turns a yucky green, but when thawed out is just as fresh and white as the day you bought it. Half gallon sizes are better but gallon sizes can be used also.

Keep lettuce fresher, longer

Everyone know that wrapping lettuce in Scott Towels will increase freshness, but go one step further. When you buy a head of Iceberg lettuce, immediately cut the head in half. Discard bottom core and any brown areas. Throw away tight inner leaves that are usually yellow and bitter. The lettuce is now easier to pull the leaves off intact. Keep lettuce in air-tight container covered in Scott Paper Towels. \

Money Saving Air Freshener

Rather than purchasing a store bought air freshener save some money and make your own. Next time it's time to change the toilet paper roll, put a few drops of essential oil, such as lavender, on the inside of the roll. The smell lasts as long as the roll does. I also save the rolls for the kids to decorate and then use them around the house for a few days as an air freshener. It's a great way to save money and show off the kids' art!

Keep Your Herbs Fresh!

When you buy cilantro or parsley at the grocery store, make sure you wrap it in sheets of SCOTT® Towels and return it to the plastic bag before you place it in your refrigerator. It will keep your cilantro or parsley fresh so it will last longer.
