Thrifty Tips from the Readers
The first two tips were submitted to me through the Contact Form. Please leave your names if you want to be recognized for these great ideas. The last tip is mine and has been working great this last week.
Use Dishwashing Gloves When Putting On Pantyhose
Pantyhose can be expensive and nothing makes me any madder than to poke my finger through a pair when putting them on for the first time. To avoid this, put on a pair of dishwashing gloves. They grip well enough that you can place your hands against the
lower part of your leg and pull your hose up without having to grab them with your fingers and causing a hole or run.
Save Empty Spice Jars And Buy Bulk
The next time you empty an herb or spice jar, don’t throw it away. You can refill it at your local health or natural food store since most have big jars of bulk dried herbs. You can buy
just a little baggie full for about a quarter. Most of the cost of grocery store herbs and spices are the name brand, advertising, packaging and shipping. You’ll be amazed how much you’ll save.
Sunshine is our Friend
Many of us forget to open those blinds, drapes, shades, etc. to take advantage of the free heat from the sun. It can shave off as much as 8 percent from your heating bill. On Monday I will be giving you an idea on how to capitalize on this free heat and heat entire rooms using only the sun.
