steching dinner for less!

When I make hamburger, tuna, or chicken helper I add an extra handful or two of dry noodles to the noodles they provide. This always ensures we have plenty for everyone and it never ruins the recipe!

Gnats Be Gone

To prevent those pesty small flys (GNATS) from living in your house plants, sprinkle about 1/4 inch of very fine sand on the top of the soil and they will leave. I use silica sand as it works quite well to keep them away. Especially any new plants you bring into your home from a store or gifts.

Keep Knives Sharp

To keep your cutlery sharp put the sharpener in a drawer or cabinet near the cuterly block. That way it is handy to run a knife through the sharpener before each use so your knives are always sharp and ready for use.

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.

Mirror Messaging

We use the bathroom mirror for lists and reminders. It's one big dry erase board! We keep a dry erase marker in the bathroom and use to make notes for each other and to-do lists. And when all is said and done, it wipes clean!
