    Re: How often do you act on saving tips?

    I also like to "bank" all the tips in my head. I'll only use the ones that suit my lifestyle, but it's nice to have more available if need be. I also won't spend money to save money, so many tips don't work for me.

      id say i try about 90% of what fits my needs, all the credit card tips dont apply to me. vinegar tips, baking soda, ammonia, cold water washing,have been the best ones ive heard. ive done them all.i dont like the ammonia in the wash. i still now find it to be like bleach. i guess watering it down would eliminate that worry, but i feel vinegar does a better job with alot of less worry and wear n tear. i use tide coldwater and baking soda in the wash, cold water, vinegar in the bleach and rinse cycle, and liquid softener iwth sponges in the dryer. id say on the average that just this alone has saved me near sixty a month in all, even with the increase in cost of soap. my electric has dropped 20 a month, ive saved the cost of liquid and dryer sheets. with the cost of vinegar as to the cost of bleach and fabric softener and how far it goes, id say ive saved approx near 40 a month.

        If I see a tip that works for me, i'll implement immediately. I'm pretty organized and don't procrastinate.

          I act on a lot of tips. I am not much for coupons cause I don't get a newspaper, but I do look for what is on sale at the stores.
          I don't have kids, so there is no reason for me to do a lot of, from scratch, baking. We don't need cookies or cakes for health reasons.
          My husband says now I am bugging him about turning off lights and saving money on things. I just can't make myself stop eating out and staying home. I have no trouble not buying clothes and stuff.
