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.
