Cutting Family Personal Care Expenses

• Use a mixture of baking soda and salt for brushing teeth.
• Buy personal care items from discount stores.
• Buy necessary items such as shampoo and toothpaste at reduced prices when stores offer "specials".
• Compare generic, store and national brands — you may be paying for advertising.
• Give haircuts and permanents at home. Adopt hair styles you can manage yourself.
• Try inexpensive cosmetics. Similar ingredients are used in like cosmetic products. The difference in price is often due to promotion or advertising.
