Re: Your Lesser Known Tips
Just a few quick things to add:
1. I use newspaper to wipe my car windows before the windex and paper towels...It gets alot of the grime off without being horribly abrasive. I save by using less of the cleaning products.
2. Since I pay most of my bills online, I keep the envelopes that come with the invoice in the mail. It's easy to work around the open window with a piece of scrap paper or sticker. I can't remember the last time I bought envelopes!
3. Dryer sheets - I read somewhere that 1/2 a dryer sheet is plenty for one load in the dryer. So...one box gets me twice as far these days.
4. I use ice cubes remaining after my drinks to water the plants in my home. I also read that this is the best way to water plants, as it gradually 'feeds' them.
5. I use two consignment stores to help get rid of items in my home. They pay me 60% of the selling price, and I do almost no work, aside from dropping the stuff off. It's a nice extra check to get.
