Vinegar and Its Many Uses

Frugal Dad recently published a good article on the many uses of vinegar.

I've found vinegar to be very helpful around the house - cleaning, as an air-freshener, in laundry, etc. It's kind of a miracle liquid, and I'm sad that most people don't know about its many uses since it's much better for the environment than most household cleaners. Some people have a problem with the smell, but if you add a little bit of essential oil (whatever scent you love - I suggest lemon or citrus) to the solution, it'll cover the vinegar smell.

Click HERE to read the article. You can also do an online search to find even more ways to use vinegar or my other favorite cleaners - baking soda and Borox.

Electronic Coupons - How and Why

Click HERE for a good overview of what electronic coupons (e-coupons) are and how they can be used. I recently used them on my Kroger card. The best part is that you can stack the e-coupons on top of any other manufacturer's coupon.

Here's a scenario:
Buy 4 pk Cottonelle at Kroger for $.99
Use a $1.00 off coupon from the Sunday paper
Scan Kroger card, get $.50 off from Shortcuts.com
$.50 off from Cellfire.com

You actually MAKE $1.01 on the purchase! Pretty cool!
Thank you, Being Frugal is Fabulous and 5dollardinners!

A Few Changes

Well...I've decided I need to spice things up a bit on this blog! I'm going to be changing things around, and looking into finding a reason to keep this blog going.

I recently got out of the military and am now working on finishing a degree that I should have completed nearly seven years ago - has it really been that long?!

I've been toying with the idea of making money on the web just to keep myself A) from going crazy and B) so I'm bringing in a few dollars. I'm at home most of the time anyway, so this gives me an occasional break and it can assist with my creativity, something I feel I've lost along the way.

So...I need to think of a few topics to blog about. I also have considered an Amazon or Ebay shop, but that will take some more time.

First step - get some subscribers!

Great Calphalon Deals at Amazon.com

Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 12-Inch Everyday Pan with Lid $19.99 down from $168.00

Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 2-1/2-Quart Shallow Saucepan with Lid $24.99 down from $119.00

Calphalon Commercial Nonstick 10-Inch International Griddle/Crepe Pan $27.99 down from $85.00

Also, Amazon is offering a one-year subscription to Bon Appétit with your purchase of $50 or more in their Home & Garden Store. Usually, if you don't wish to receive the magazine you can opt for a refund instead!

Recipe Matcher Website

I found an interesting site for recipes, RecipeMatcher.com.
You can enter what you have in your pantry and refrigerator, and the site will find recipes that match the ingredients you already have or have most of the ingredients for. This is great if you need to save extra money or are leaving on a long trip!
