I picked up the tip of using VINEGAR for fabric softener from this board. What a great idea! Not only do I use it on my laundry, but I have found lots of uses for vinegar as well. To wash my floor, I've started pouring the vinegar in the water with some dishsoap and using that on my hardwood. Works out great.
I don't just cut my dryer sheets in half, I cut them in thirds. I find it still works great! I also line dry alot of clothes, not all of them, but alot of the kids things that I want to resell on ebay don't go in the dryer.
Adding to the yardsale idea, I also shop at Goodwill alot for me and the kiddos. I have a few really nice ones in the area and I always walk out with something. Last year, I was SHOCKED when I found pieces to my Noritake CHINA set there, a bunch of dinner plates, and some salad plates. What a FIND!
I have seen some great ideas here! I like the clothes napkins idea I'm gonna try that.
Does anyone buy memberships to the parks in your area?? I ususaly buy one to the zoo and the aquairum. It may cost alot innitally, but when you become a member there are so many benefits. You can take your kids there anytime for free, and there are discounts for special programs they might have. I always end up making my money back in one visit, and it solves the "what are we gonna do that won't cost alot?" syndrome. Plus most memberships can be used at other zoos/ect anywhere in the country.
