Double Duty Groceries
We need a little of this, buy a little of that and before we know it our pantry is overflowing and our budget is out of control. Try to focus on items that serve multiple purposes to cut down on purchases and save money. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Hair conditioner works great as shaving cream on legs.
Hairspray is the best thing out there for removing ink stains on clothing!
An extra toothbrush is helpful in the laundry--just use the bristles to scrub stains.
Cake mix is not just for cakes & cupcake. You can make cookies, bars and more. In fact, there are entire cookbooks and websites devoted to cake mix recipes.
Vinegar can do more than dye eggs! It is a natural, safe cleaner. Use it on glass, as a fabric softener, in place of the dishwasher rinse agent. Check out www.vinegartips.com for hundreds of ideas all over the house.
With a little creative thinking, we can buy less and save money on things we use every day!
