Little Tid Bits
Sunday, August 23, 2009
Just a few tips and tricks... To get the last of the sauce out of my spaghetti jar,I spoon the cooked noodles into the jar,swish it around and dump it into bowl. To cut an onion-cut both ends off and slice skin from end to end,downward. To break head of lettuce-slam top on counter or cutting board-pull core out,tear into pieces. Bitter Cucumbers? slice off ends and rub the top in circular motions-do both ends,rinse and slice. To chop garlic,slam top on counter,break a clove off,cut ends off and make slice from top to bottom,longway and peel.

The "Save Me" Box
Monday, August 17, 2009
This has saved me on more than one occasion.....I have a box of "goodies", Extra's, regifts,etc...I put everything and anything in there,lotions,candles,toys,anything that you buy on sale,things given to you-that you'll never use,etc,with it is wrapping paper,tape,bows,bags,cards....when one of my kids hits me with a birthday party,or I forget a birthday,whatever the reason, I am always ready with "THE SAVE ME" box,A girl I use to know gave me the idea,she had a craft box with things she "might need",so I went further and made a "SAVE ME" box, Trust me,you'll thank yourself one of these days.

Buy Now,Save Later
Monday, August 17, 2009
Wal-mart has all their school stuff on sale,buy Crayola crayons for 25cents-I bought each some for school,and each for stocking stuffers,same with pens. For their folders,I go to dollar store and buy the 4 for a buck,then before school they decorate them.I also buy two real cheap binders,(one for now,one for later)then they print/cut out pictures they want and put them in the plastic on very front of binder. I also ALWAYS hit the clearance rack for summer clothes and buy a size bigger for next year,that saves me a to of money on summer clothes,just remember to pack summer clothes away with a few dryer sheets ,so they don't smell musty. I buy a ton of flip-flops at end of summer. I will do anything to save a few bucks.
