Frugal Tips 7.28.09

Daily Frugal Tips:

1. Freeze bread. When you see it on sale at a great price, stock up and put it in the freezer.

2. Shop at the thrift store for like new clothes and other items. You never know what you will find! I got a $1600 La-Z-Boy armoire for $75 and it is in great shape!

3. Give up paper towels and paper napkins. Buy a bundle of wash cloths (you get about 20 for $4 at Walmart) and use them instead. I keep a roll of paper towels in my laundry room in case I need them but use the wash cloths about 90% of the time.

4. Cut your dryer sheets in half. You'll never notice the difference and the box will last twice as long.

5. Use vinegar instead of fabric softener in the washer.

6. Water down your kids juice. They get less sugar and it makes the juice go farther. Try 2/3rd juice to 1/3rd water.
