Living the Best Frugal Life I Can
Be careful of Freecycle, especially when giving away kittens and puppies. I advertised two kittens of a litter of four that I had (I kept the other two and the mother). A woman with children responded and said she wanted them for her children; when she came...
Washer Does Not Spin?
It sounds similar to what happened to our Kenmore front-loading washer, after only eight years. The tub has what is called a spider, that holds it in the washer; it was making a horrible noise. I got online and found that Sears had purposely made those front...
Evicting Carpenter Bees from your Home
At an apartment that my husband and I lived years ago, we had problems with carpenter bees; however, when we would fill the holes as suggested in the post, they would find a way to drill themselves out through another hole. Maybe it will work where you live...
Sunset (Venice Beach, CA)
It reminds me of the wonderful sunsets at Orange Beach, AL; there is nothing better than sunrise and sunset at the beach.
Crockpot Lasagne
Your recipe is very close to mine; in the recipe I use, it calls for mixing together Parmesan, cottage cheese and mozzarella for the cheese layering. I usually use ground beef, but might try the sausage next time. Yes, it does freeze well.
Leaving Clothespins on Laundry Line
I find that the wooden clothespins seem to ruin, if left out on the line; the wood gets rotten and the metal rusts. Thats why I always put mine back in the clothespin bag and bring them in; I dont hang mine in the same order all of the time, either.
Fig Nut Bread
I have a question: would I be able to use dried figs, that could be bought in the store? If so, would I have to peel those? Thanks for any information.
Finish Your ATM Transaction
No, the card was not still in the machine. At my banks ATM, your card comes out after you have entered your PIN. Thats why people who use it, or any other ATM that works like my banks, should make sure the starting screen is back before driving off.
My Frugal Life: Don't Be Persuaded!
In reference to buying the cheapest lotion, alot of the dollar lotion stinks. Two very cheap lotions that do smell good are from Fruit of the Earth: Shea and Aloe, and just Alove Vera lotions. They are usually sold as two for one price.
Clearance Items for Christmas
I always shop all year for Christmas; Ive told people, especially my husband, that it is MUCH cheaper that way than waiting until the season. I have large plastic containers that I keep presents in, and label who those go to. Getting on emails of companies...
Blue Stains Showing Up on Washed Clothing?
Get some Rid color remover and use it to get the color out. Ive used it several times on all colored clothes that had stains like that. Another thing I found when I wash my clothes on gently cycle is to add another rinse cycle. Sometimes liquid detergent will...
LG Front Loader Washer is Off Balance?
Our LG has done that one time, and it was I had just put too many clothes in it. What I did was just re-arranged the clothes a little, then restarted it. That worked. Even though it is a super size, it still has its limits.
Kenmore Washer Error Code F 02?
Definitely get a repairman you trust out to check it out. Alot of appliance stores have people that keep up on repair all washers. You can also get on a site called FixYa.com. You can post a question of all sorts and will be sent a possible answer. Let me also...
Keep a Sock Bag for Mismatched Socks
I got tired of coming up with one sock, especially my husbands, so I found Sock Clips. They are WONDERFUL!! The only reason I ever find a lone sock is if my husband forgets to clip them together. You can purchase them cheaper from the company than anywhere...
Buy Vacation Gifts At Regular Stores
When we go to Orange Beach, AL for vacation, there is a little 5 & 10 store there; I always find vacation gifts for myself and others in that great store.
Holiday Closet
I also have closets for Christmas holidays, like the poster was talking about; decorations are kept in the same place, so not to have to figure out where we put them. Most of the presents are bought throughout the year, when the prices are low; I do, however...
