[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 97917, member: 84"] Star I'm telling easy child about that soap and vinegar thing. Wow. Hmmmmm. I also don't use coupons as I can usually find things they are just as good and way cheaper. A Note to Jif Peanut butter users, Krogers brand I swear to God is exactly the same and costs ALOT less! Since my family are big pbj eaters this was a huge deal. I buy generic whenever possible and the standard is the same as name brand. Peanut butter is usually not good in generic, unless it's Kroger's brand. I don't do generic tpaper as the family just uses more of it. I never shop without a list, and I rarely vary from the list. (unless it's just a plain steal) I won't shop when hungry. I always look at the weekly ads. And since all our grogery stores are located pretty much in one area I go from one to another. They're to close for me to be wasting gas, and I save tons this way. Big Tip If your grocery, pharmacy, gas station, ect offers a Reward Card get one and USE it. I have one for Krogers, Speedway, and CVS. With krogers you not only get the initial savings, but points that count toward discounts on gas. Speedway has all sorts of rewards for their card. I can't believe how many people think these are a waste. Huh? You're saving money!! I buy those fleece throws and we keep the thermostat down to 65 degrees during the day and turn it to 60 at night. You won't believe the savings. Also on Sunny Winter days open your drapes and blinds and let the good ol' sunshine inside to help warm the house. (also helps with seasonal depression). I have these stuffed "snakes" that cover the drafty cracks at the bottom of my outside doors. Those drafts make you chilly, and can also cause your furnace to kick on when it really isn't needed. Oh, and I do all my cooking and baking from scratch too. I avoid fast food places and restaurants. I can't think of any more right now. [/QUOTE]
