Here's another one for those empty hand soap pump dispensers.

Our local "Dollar-type" El Cheapo store sells 1000ml bottles (1 pint = 600mls, 36fl ozs to a litre) of shampoo and conditioner for around $1:00 or so. There's no way I'd use either on my hair, but the shampoo makes a very cheap alternative for hand soap to fill those empty pump packs.

It even comes in lots of different "decorator" colours. :D

Free shipping codes to over 800 merchants.

Sorry if this is a duplicate. DH told me about it this morning. :)

How many people get mad when they find a free shipping code or a coupon AFTER they buy something?:mad:

I had to buy a new waterbed mattress and liner last week after the 21 yr old mattress finally gave up it's corner patch :eek:

I found one on Ebay for 1/2 of what it would have cost from a waterbed place. I paid the shipping because I couldn't find a free shipping code for Ebay, but after I pushed the button and bought the stupid thing...I found an EBay coupon for 10% off when you paid through PayPal...GRRRR:mad:

It still cost less that it would have retail, and it arrived in 4 days, but I still wish I had done a more thorough search before I ordered.

I wrote it down for next time:p

That's another reason I love Amazon. You can compare prices for several stores, see customer reviews, and if Amazon's price is lowest most stuff ships free.

I hate shopping brick and mortar anymore. I spend way less too, cuz I only get what I need. Like Christmas, I have a gift list and I get the gifts, not a ton of doo dads.

The conditioner is better than shaving creme or gel. It doesn't wash right off your legs in the shower before you can even shave em, and it makes your skin soft too.

:o :o :o

I knew that, and forgot to mention it! :o

Thank you Brain.

I hope I do repeat anyones post...
I made up baby wipes today.
I used half decent paper towels
Tore them in half
mixed about a cup and a half of water
with a quarter cup of liquid baby soap
about an eighth cup of baby oil
and ONE drop of tea tree oil.

I pour the mixed liquid over the paper towels and the flip them over to evenly distribute it...if there is just too much liquid just pour some off or add more paper towels...I have used them all day and just love them!! Saffys butt loves them too!

I read that they last a week or so I am not sure but will let you know....I figure at 3 dollars for cheap wipes....80 count...a roll of paper towel and the few ingredients are hardly anything compared to.......

Saves me lots of money!!!!!

Something we just started doing recently is unplugging things, not just turning them off. Nearly everything that we leave plugged in uses electricity when it is off,

You will be amazed at how much these things use. We cut our $250 power bill by a third already, and sometimes we forget to unplug things. Since getting this last bill we are really workin at it now :)

So unplug that toaster, coffee pot, vcr,dvd players. For the TV's and computers get a power strip and after turning off the items switch off the power strip.

Cant wait to see the next bill!
