Warning: Never Give Small Child Keys
Kids can find metal items on their own and stick into an uncovered outlet. Best thing is to use outlet covers. Kids are so quick and can do things youd never dream of in just a blick of the eye....even when well attended!
Dyeing Bath Towels?
Rit dye is pretty cheap, Id say go ahead and give it a try. If the towels are in real good shape but just not the right color, may as well spend something on a box of dye and I think one box would be all youd need. I do not know which color to use tho. Maybe...
What Color Refrigerator Will Coordinate With Bisque Appliances?
You can probably get a bisque french door if you order it. I have a friend who got one only a yr or two ago at Sears.
Household Uses for Vodka
Yes i was going to say, why not use rubbing alcohol as isnt the alcohol in the vodka that is doing the work anyway? I should probably use the bottle of vodka that weve had in the cabinet for years for cleaning purposes tho because I know well never drink it...
Keep Channels on Back of Remote
After we changed cable providers we had new channel #s plus many many more channels. I prefer to watch in HD and most of the channels I like are in HD but those have even different channel #s that are a 4 digit number. A few I have memorized but no way on many...
Are Walmart Great Value Products As Good as Name Brands?
I use all sorts of Great Value products and love them. I use that brand of honey, coffee, diced tomatoes, jelly, pop tarts, dishwasher detergent, flour, brown sugar....I know Im forgetting a lot. I dont know if theres anything Great Value that Ive tried and...
Having Guests Put Their Name on Their Cup?
Well I suppose it depends on what kind of party and if you know all the guests well but even if you want to encourage the use of just one cup all night, therell be those who will just keep taking a fresh one. Id just put a marker by the cups and hope that people...
DVD of The Two Worlds of Jennie Logan?
First before buying a copy, Id check your local library to see if perhaps they have a copy!

Reviews of Microwave Pasta Cooker?
I had bought a Pasta Express is what I think it was called. Supposedly could cook pasta, veggies, hot dogs, etc. I thought it was more trouble than just doing in a pan on the stove. It was very hard to get open and I burned myself doing so. I had gotten on...
Reuse Small Candle Jars For Food Storage
I would think that cleaning it very well, itd be safe as its glass but perhaps you could check with the candle maker. I have seen similar jars to this for sale, probably at Wal-Mart. They are glass with the airtight rubber type stopper around the lid. I do...
Use Address Labels to Label Leftovers
This is a good idea! I wind up with way more sticky labels than I can use. I hate to write directly on the container.
Store Extra Paper Towels in Glove Box
I have to agree with the other posters and dont think this was a good tip. Can you imagine if everyone helped themselves to extras of the gas station paper towels. They put them there for the use and convenience of using while at the pump, not for taking extra...
Ideas for Organizing Storage on Closet Shelves?
Go check out the Dollar Store. They may have some suitable bins or baskets. Right now all the stores seem to have storage supplies on sale so check out every place you can think of, even the home improvement centers like Lowes and Home Depot.
Shopping for Small Plastic "Bulbs" for Ceramic...
Look in your phone book or online for ceramic shops in your area. They should be able to sell you some replacements.
Christmas Gift Ideas for New Boyfriend?
Since youve only been dating a month, Id keep it simple. Some cookies or candy homemade or store bought and a card sounds like plenty. It isnt so much that he would be feel bad either if he doesnt have something for you.
Coke Lid Christmas Tree
I like this idea and have bookmarked it; however I think I would save green caps from Sprite.
Buying Concentrated Juice Lids in Bulk?
No, I dont know how you could buy in bulk but you could ask everyone you know to save for you.
Use Dish Soap Residue
Great idea! What I use that little bit of gunked up soap for is to wash my hands.....same result....my hands get washed and so does the lid of the dish soap bottle!
Third Wedding Attendance Etiquette?
Is the wedding in town? Would you have to drive far? Even tho its a third wedding. Its your brother after all. Maybe you could put your feelings aside for one day to be there for him. Are you two close? Will there be others there from your side of the family...
Uses for Old Towels?
I like those ideas! Also you can use them to dry off your vehicle after washing. I keep one on top of my washer and dryer as protection and keeps them cleaner. Keep a few in your vehicle for just whatever use comes up when youre out and about. Also you can...
Clip Thief in the Bud
My advice is dont give a potential thief a chance to steal your purse, meaning, dont let out of your site. There is no reason to have to walk away from your cart. My cart stays with me and park on the same side of the aisle as the item I am looking at, by doing...
Laundry Baskets for the Family
I am a stay at home mom and feel doing the familys laundry is my job. I expect my kids to make their beds and keep their rooms picked up, but most everything else I consider my job and let them be kids. Childhood is such a short time as it is, they will have...
Great Book Deals at Thrift Stores
Yes, I agree that reading is a wonderful past-time! Goodwill is a bit high priced on their items. I do better on books at garage sales and mostly pay .25 for paperbacks. I have so many books stored under our bed, I have reading material for years to come! When...
Shelf Life of Swanson Chicken Broth in Cartons?
I dont know how many cartons of broth are in a case and if he has 3 cases how many that would be. Would it be hard to use up all the cartons even if frozen? Perhaps he should just give some to family and friends or donate to a food pantry.
Rinse and Reuse Coffee Filters
Hum, I have mixed feelings about this. I try to re-use and not waste but perhaps this is going a little too far. I mean you are using the water to rinse the filter and spending your time doing so. I wouldnt think the filters are very expensive to begin with...
My Frugal Life: Ways To Reuse Recyclables
Our town provides a big trash can on wheels for our recyclables. Our town makes money from the recyclables, and what anyone puts out in that can is only for our trash service to be taking. So just be sure that its ok to take recyclables from peoples bins. It...
Take Store Cleaning Wipe to Sanitize Car
Yeah, wiping down the items you mentioned is a good idea but not a good idea to take advantage of the stores that provide them for the customers to use on their premises. Buy a container of wipes for your own use. I dont think it was such a good idea to recommend...
Maintaining a Friendship With an Overly Dependent Friend?
I think you are being taken advantage of and you are allowing it. You are being too good a person. She is going beyond what is expected from a friendship. Sorry, but sounds like shes using you as a servant and a free one at that! You need to be less available...
My Frugal Wife!
I agree with what everyone else said. I enjoyed reading this story! It was so very well written, should be in a magazine or newspaper!

Saving Money on a Trip to the Great Wolf Lodge in Dallas?
We go to the Great Wolf Lodge in the Wisconsin Dells all the time. I usually book online but also found out who was the Guest Services Director and wrote directly to that person to ask for a good rate. I did that after wed gone there a few times tho. Since...
When Should You Replace a Washer and Dryer?
I would say just keep using them as long as you can. Ive had washers and dryers that have lasted a really long time. I have seen good prices on appliances at Home Depot and sometimes you can buy a floor model for a reduced price. Also people sell used in the...
Get Books From The Library
I have been using the library a lot lately too. I take my daughter to chess club there on Mon evenings and then Mom gets to sit in peace and quiet and read or look at magazines. Amanda checks out Wii games and I check out DVDs from time to time. Sometimes I...
Determining the Value of Precious Moments Figurines?
Unfortunately there are just too many Precious Moments out there so I dont think they are that valuable. I suppose they are worth about as much as someone is willing to pay and that may not be too much :-( I too have quite a few that I dont care about now and...
Buy Magazines Used at Garage Sales
I love finding cheap or free magazines at garage sales, especially cooking magazines. I dont care how old they are, they are new to me if Ive never read before! I also love to look at magazines at the library. I take my daughter to chess club there on Mondays...
Use Backs Of School Notices As Scratch Paper
Ive been doing this for years. I have a small 3 drawer unit I have near my printer. The drawers are 8 1/2 x 11 size. Some of the papers that come in my kids backpacks get left whole and put in one of these drawers and then I can use the blank side to print...
Order Water When Eating Out
Ive been ordering iced water out more and more. I actually prefer it to pop most of the time. I do enjoy iced tea but last time I ordered that was shocked to see it cost me $2.79, how overpriced is that? It costs them pennies to make iced tea!
7 Year Old Won't Eat Healthy Food?
You might want to try PediaSure if hell drink it. It contains complete nutrition. I give one to my son every day to give him the nutrition he needs plus the extra calories. I buy the Wal-Mart version called Parents Choice which is cheaper. By the way, he hasnt...
Bring Tea for the Mall
I didnt know you could even do this but I wouldnt feel right unless I was buying something. I mean how would it be if all day long these food vendors were asked to give a cup and hot water to people for free. Theres being frugal and then theres well being cheap...
Senior Discount Day at the Goodwill
I wanted to add that perhaps it varies Goodwill to Goodwill. Mine here in my hometown gives 15% off to Seniors on Wed; however you must be 60 to qualify. I called on Wed before I was going over just to see and was disappointed that I was too young. Since I...
Senior Discount Day at the Goodwill
Im 57 and sure hate to think by some peoples standards, Im a senior but then again if it gets me discounts, Im all for it! I have young children ages 11 and 9 so probably Im a little sensitive on that senior citizen deal. It all depends on where you go too...
Auto Microfiber Towels for the Kitchen
I use the bright yellow microfiber cloths from Wal-Mart myself. They work very well dry or wet and you dont have to use any cleaners. They are especially good for cleaning mirrors with just water and you dont need to dry. It will dry by itself with no streaks...
Uses for Small Liquid Soap Containers
I agree that I wouldnt use these containers for food storage. They were not made for that purpose.
Uses for Recycled Zip Lock Bags
Well I might try this idea. Not sure I want to wash those bags but yet once you put it into use holding items in your vehicle, keeping coupons, stationery, etc, its not likely you have to wash again. The plastic zipper bags that shredded cheese comes in are...
Reporting a Business That Doesn't Have a Permit?
Do you know these neighbors well enough to just come out and ask them what exactly they are doing? How do you know they are for sure doing catering? I dont think you should casue any trouble for your neighbor if perhaps they are making food for extended family...
Keeping Track of What is in Your Freezer
Good idea! What I do is any leftover I freeze that I want to be sure not to forget is I write a note on my calendar. I also will sometimes send an email to myself.

You can find your balance out at the issuers website. For example: I have one for Starbucks my hubby gave me for my birthday. I just go to their website and click the link for gift card balance. Works for me!

I do the same thing! I just do it for my own children at christmas usually. I can update the ideas list and I also keep a list of what Ive already purchased. It helps me to see what Ive bought, if Ive bought enough and if it seems like its equal between my...
Dishwasher Rack Coating is Coming Off?
I have something by Rust-oleum called Appliance Touch-Up. Its a small bottle that looks like a bottle of nail polish. You could go to their website at www.rustoleum.com and ask where you can find it. Im thinking I could have found it at Wal-Mart. I had my husband...
Share Your Coupons with Restaurant Guests
I do this as well and also been given coupons. I gave an extra money off coupon for the beauty shop I go to to a family that was still waiting their turn as I was leaving. It was expiring before Id be coming back so figured it was a good thing to share it and...
Choosing a New Kitchen Sink?
Ive had the porcelain over cast iron kind and they scratch and stain....eventually the shiney finish on the bottom is worn and dull. I have a stainless steel sink now and am very happy with it. Its quite easy to take care of and always looks nice. I couldnt...
Removing Air from Ziplock Bags
Dont know that this method would keep out freezer burn and keep contents good for very long. We have a foodsaver and make very good use of it and it ends up being a savings when theres no food going to waste. I watch for the bags to be on sale or use a coupon...
Removing Scratches on a Gold Ring?
Call a local jeweler and inquire as to the cost of him buffing out the scratches. It might not be that costly and a jeweler will know exactly how to do it.
Country Stew
Sounds good and I dont see why you couldnt add some cooked noodles or serve over mashed potatoes.
Poem For The Adopted Child
My mother gave me that poem framed. Both our children are adopted from Russia.
Correspondence Etiquette?
The way I heard it to be was if it is just a couple, the womans name is first....such as Mary and John Smith; however if there are children you would sign John, Mary, Susie and Joey Smith. I do not know if this is proper or not but I remember someone telling...

Wrapping Awkward Items?
There are sites on the web for printing gift bags and such, even bag toppers so you could use a brown paper lunch sack and staple a cute Christmas motif topper. I dont have the sites handy that Ive been to but you could google a search for Christmas printables...

Can you tell us where on the web you found this particular wreath print-out? Thanks, Debbie
Buy Solid Color Gift Wrap and Bags After Christmas
I do this whenever I can. I dont think it matters if gifts are wrapped in plain red and green other times of the year. Save money wherever you can these days!
Remedies for Hives?
My daughter had a mild case of hives some years back. I took her to the Dr because I didnt know what she had. He diagnosed hives. I forgot what we did for it but probably was some sort of cream I put on her. The only thing I can figure is it was brought on...

Good for you! Thats definitely trash to treasure! I love the idea of recycling.

Using Recycled Containers
Nice idea and nice container but Ive never seen one before! How would we get any of those?
Using Vinegar in the Laundry?
Note: You dont have to buy a name brand of vinegar. Buy the cheapest kind you can find. I buy it in a large container. The smell of vinegar after the laundry is finished will be faint and goes away quickly. Vinegar softens towels really well and then they are...

True happiness can never be found in material things!
Keep Your ID Separate For Safety
Best to be on the safe side and you can never be too safe! I was unfortunate and was robbed twice and learned the hard way about carrying too much with me. Everything worked out in the end but it was still scary. I carry as little as possible. It is not good...
When Do You Stop Giving Christmas Gifts to Adult Nieces and Nephews?
There really isnt a rule about it. Just do what your heart or your head tells you to. We were childless for many years and then adopted 2 beautiful toddlers as older parents. Wed given and given to so many nieces and nephews on both sides and then decided they...
Buttermilk for Septic System
We dont have a septic system but I do see those commercials for Rid-X I think its called and isnt it supposed to be about 6 bucks a month? I wouldnt think thats too expensive and is made for the job.
Cleaning With Baking Soda
I wanted to add that this post made me remember that I had saved and washed a plastic parmesan cheese container with the dual opening lid. I filled it with baking soda and now keep under the sink. It is just wonderful to spinkle in wetted down stainless steel...
Cleaning With Baking Soda
Cute idea! I use baking soda quite a bit and buy it in the 12 lb size at Sams Club. I like to have plenty of it to last a while! I really like to use it in the laundry. It sure makes whites whiter and brighter! Its so cheap and has so many great purposes. I...
Think Recycling Before You Throw Anything Away
This was a good post. I believe in passing on any still useable items rather than having them buried in a landfill! Besides taking old towels and blankets to animal hospitals, they can also use your empty prescription bottles. I think its good to ask teachers...
Garage Sale Items for Gift Exchanges
?
I think this is a very frugal and great thing to do. I have bought new items at garage sales and used as teacher gifts. Ive bought new and almost new items as gifts for my children too. I think that if the box looks a bit tattered then you should find a nicer...
Use Saliva to Remove Blood Stains
I think the saliva solution sounds kind of icky too but I suppose it would be worth a try. Every month though I have to get menstrual blood stains out of my daughters panties and dont think Id want to fool around with having her give me some of her saliva....would...
Childproofing Your Home Office
I agree that certain things cant just be in a drawer that a small child can get into. My 4 yr old daughter at the time got my scissors out of my desk drawer when I didnt see her and very quickly cut up her hair. Luckily I caught her before she did too much...
Use Recycled Drink Tubes For Organizer
What exactly was in those containers? I am trying to figure out what type of drink mix containers you are talking about.
Use Vinegar Instead of Dryer Sheets
I use just regular white vinegar in my washer as a fabric softener for towels. I like liquid fabric softener however it tends to build up in towels and then they are not as absorbant. Vinegar in the fabric softener dispenser right in the washer works really...
Natural Treatments for Hyperactivity in Children?
I should also add our son was adopted from Russia and was born very prematurely. He is in an exceptional needs class. I was looking more in the area of natural supplements to work along with the medication.
Natural Treatments for Hyperactivity in Children?
Hi, Im the one who posted the question and perhaps I should have asked differently. My son DOES take medication. He is 9 1/2 yrs old and has been taking it since he was 5. He also has sensory integration disorder so wanted some natural ways to help with that...
Natural Treatments for Hyperactivity in Children?
Thanks for these ideas. I have been giving him fish oil for a couple years. I do think it helps. I also give him some magnesium when I remember. He takes medication and really needs it. My son has sensory issues and really look for ways to calm him even more...
Filters for a 4-Cup Coffee Pot?
I actually have a 10 cup maker but find that the #2 cone filters fit my maker better. The bigger size seemed to just flop down and be in the way. I do seem to find #2 less than #4 so when I see them, I buy up a couple packages.
Give Halloween Pencils Instead of Candy
If you go to Wal-Mart the day after Halloween, packages of Halloween pencils will be half price. I havent bought them to pass out for Trick or Treat but instead add to little goody bags I make up for my childrens classmates. What Ive given out for years on...

Wow, that soup sure looks good! Thanks for sharing and love the pictures!
Spray Crock Pots With Pam for Easy Clean Up

Shelf Life of Sour Cream?
I try to buy sour cream in a smaller container unless I know for sure I need a larger amount. I have used past the best by date with no harm; however if Ive seen mold starting, I pitch. I think if it looks and smells fine, then its ok to use; however I think...
Watch Store Receipts For Contests
Good tip! I look at my receipts all the time. I do the BK one frequently and do manage to get in for the free sandwich (w/purchase) before it expires. You have a choice of a chicken sandwich or whopper. Even with buying a fry and drink, its a very good deal...
Quick and Easy Recipes?
Maybe you could write what your favorite things to eat are and we could send quick/easy recipes for those foods.
Pack Clutter Into Trash Bags and Organize Later
This is a good idea for a temporary solution to clutter as long as you go through it later. I have been guilty of doing it just to let bags or boxes sit around for months. It is definitely a good thing to do if you get a call from someone wanting to stop by...
Empty Can to Hold Utensils When Cooking
Yes good idea. I do that too or lay my utensil (s) on the empty box if I used some sort of boxed mix. I have a couple spoon rests in my kitchen as well that are veggie theme to match my kitchen decor (purchased at a garage sale). I think laying down a piece...
Stretch Liquid Fabric Softener
I cut my liquid fabric softener with water or vinegar right in the washer dispenser. Works for me!
Shop End of Season Sales
Great idea. I always think its the thought that counts anyway and not how much you spend. If the person gets something nice and they like it, it doesnt matter one bit what you paid!
Reducing Blood Pressure?
Fish oil also helps to lower blood pressure and also other things such as lowering cholesterol, helps arthritis and is calming. Omega 3 fatty acid is what youd want.
Use a White Prom Dress as a Wedding Dress
Great frugal idea! I cant imagine what a fancy bridal gown would cost at one of the fancy shops. More than Id like to spend though!
Lick Your Fingers to Open Plastic Bags
I would not do that in the grocery store. I dont think it even matters whether your hands are clean or not. I doubt mine would be as I have to touch things on the way to the produce section. Those produce bags, well who knows whats been on them or whos touched...
Change of Seasons Style Wall Clock?
Call QVC if you bought there. Ask for customer service. They may have info on the clock and the manufacturer. Do you still have the item #? You could go to QVC and HSN online and put in a search for the type of clock and see what comes up. Possibly some info...
Dog Waste Bags for Female Personal Hygiene Products
For my Daughter I just use whats free, like the newspaper plastic sleeves or plastic grocery bags....paper bags are probably better to use tho.
Feeling Dizzy All the Time?
I agree with posters who suggest seeing a Dr. How could you put up with that symptom for a year and do nothing? Not to be yelling at you but only concerned for your well being. You need to see a medical professional.
Magic Eraser To Clean Grout
This does work as I tried it on a small area of grout. I will look for the kind from the dollar store because the Mr Clean ones would be too expensive and Id use too many....altho hiring someone to come in and clean grout would be more expensive. I love my...
Berry Basket for Holding Sliced Cheese
I dont mean to rain on your parade but even tho these slices are each wrapped, Ive found they are not wrapped tight enough to be stored out in the open in the frig. They can get dried out around the edges. Maybe you use them up so fast though. Perhaps if that...
Young Girl's Hair Styles?
My daughter has had long hair twice now and shes 11. Right now its long but not extremely so. We just got a couple inches trimmed before the start of school and her bangs cut. She has had a cute little turned under bob sort of hair cut too and that looked most...
Give Frames as Frugal Gifts
I think this is a great idea; however perhaps not every one enjoys framed photos setting around. I see so many brand new or almost new frames at garage sales. Maybe some people just have too many or get tired of them. I think teachers get too many frames and...
Do Not Use Plastic Shopping Bags
One of our local groceries now uses biodegradable plastic bags. Not sure what they are made of actually but it says that they are 100% biodegradable and will break down when exposed to air, water and sunlight. The bags are also green in color which I think...
Freeze Chopped Onions
I too cut up extra onion to freeze. Its real handy to have it already diced to add to soups, casseroles, etc. Sometimes I thaw out ahead and other times I can throw in frozen and it doesnt matter.
Selling Empty Prescription Bottles?
I am not aware that you could sell them but you can certainly donate them. I wait till I have a goodly amount saved up and take to a local animal hospital. They are awfully glad to get them and save on having to buy them to dispense meds for pets. I always...
What is the Name of this TV Show?
I think you meant Sam Groom Heres what I found at Wikipedia: Sam Groom (born 1939) is an actor most noted for his numerous roles on television. He portrayed the title role in the Canadian television series Dr. Simon Locke (1971, later renamed Police Surgeon...
Cooking Two Things At Once In The Microwave
Wow, this really is a super idea! I agree with everyone else. I will certainly remember to try this.
Dog Flea Drops Accidentally Put on Cat?
None of us are qualified to give a diagnosis on your poor cat. You should at least call a vet asap!
Save Your Old Cookware Lids
You can also just make do with something else as a lid if you need two the same size. Like a glass lid to a casserole dish or a pie plate. Im trying to break my old habit of saving things just in case. I just dont want to store an extra lid. I do understand...
Discouraging Door to Door Solicitors
?
I simply do not answer the door if its someone I dont know or am not expecting. I have a large bow window near the front door and I can sort of see out to the front stoop through the blinds w/o me being seen. There is no law that I know of that says you must...
Shots for Inside Cat?
Some towns/states have rabies laws and all dogs/cats MUST have up to date rabies shots. Im sure you wouldnt want any trouble for not complying with the law. Also, I had a friend whose cat got feline leukemia from her tracking something in her house from an...
Preparing Strawberries for Storage
Its kind of funny you posted this because I just did that very thing. My husband brought home a 2 lb plastic pakage of beautiful strawberries from Sams Club. I never buy that many at once and wondered if wed be able to use them up quick enough. Only 2 of us...
Use Photo Albums to Organize Papers
Sounds good! I like to use a small photo album (4 x 6) size to store my coupons. Makes it so much easier to see what I have when Im at the store by flipping the pages. I am not dropping them or having them stick together. Actually I learned the idea right here...
Make Sun Tea for Summer Events
I too have heard that sun tea is not safe. Tea bags have bacteria, germs or whatever, being that its a natural product. They need to brew in boiling water to kill whatever could make you sick. I know theres plenty of people whove drank sun tea for years with...
Emergency Sewing Kit
I think this is a great idea and doesnt look like you had to go to too much trouble and definitely no expense. Seems hotels are not giving those little sewing kits out in the rooms anymore. I used to accompany my husband on business trips and brought back quite...
