but take a Bounce fabric sheet and loop it through the loop on your jeans or shorts...skeeters hate the smell of them.

Oh yes, we do that too. I will take and rub it on my clothes and skin so I don't look like I've got a roll of TP hanging out. It works wonders! :bigok:
 
These are some great tips! I can say, I use Vonage. I live in NC. My family lives in NJ, FL, MO, OH and VA. I talk to them all the time and don't worry about the phone bill. I even tell them to call me and hang up so they don't have to pay for the long distance charges. 25.00 a month for local and all the long distance.
 
This was a great thread, thought I'd bump it up and see if any newbies had any other great ideas for everyone.
 
:( i got all excited seeing a post from wade. i was getting all set for an even bigger reunion!
 
OK, this one may sound gross, but I read it in an old issue of Woman's World and it works great! to reduce the appearance of baggy and puffy eyelids, use Preparation H cream!? Well, think of what it does for --- other inflamed areas... This does work! If only for a few hours, but it's great! Seriously...
 
Here is one...my cat loves her "name brand" cat food and refuses to eat the other kind. So, I bought one of the large bags of the name brand stuff. When it was empty, I bought a medium size bag of the name brand and a small bag of the generic and mixed the two together in the large bag. She didn't know the difference.
 
On a related note, my husband HATES generic cereal. He just doesn't know he's been eating generic for about 3 years! I just keep swapping out the empty plastic bags and reusing the name brand box. :)
 
I heard of a guy who taped his refridgerator light off to save electricity.

The craziest thing I do now is cut my Olay facial cleansing cloths in half. It's still plenty big enough.

When I have time I'll have to list some of the crazy things I've done! :)
 
The new foam type of soap dispensers are refillable and much cheaper than buying new ones. You just need to dilute whichever type soap you want to use.

someone was talking about bug bites...you can use deodorant on bug bites definately those crappy fire ants kills the sting. I have been doing this since i was little (solid stick deodorant)

to save on water take a half gallon bottle fill it up with water and put it in your toilet tank save a little bit on water!
 
I get as many coupons as I can and trade some also. I've gotten so much free stuff at Walmart, and Krogers which doubles & triples everyday. I'm a CVS & Walgreens shopper too and have prolly saved several hundred dollars at those 2 stores alone so far this year.
Since my public library rarely has the books I'm interested in and books are too expensive, I belong to an online book swapping club and only pay $1.50 postage. The audio books are available too.
I bought 16 sets of toddler's Fisher Price outfits for .10 each on clearance! There were 5 different designs so I'm giving 5 to my nephew and the rest to the local childrens' center.
The nearby Goodwill store is nice & clean. It's the only place I buy perfectly good jeans like new for .99 or a couple of $$.
 
Im sure everyone does this but My son HASSSS to have his Thomas the train bubble bath or he throws a tizzy!
So i buy the big jug of bubble bath for 1.50 and refill that one thomas bottle that is almost $4 bucks.

I even thought of taking all my shampoo samples and combing them in a bottle but im afraid my hair will fall out LOL what ya think?
 
I love looking thru college garbage cans especially when people are moving away. My roommate found a free cabinet one time. I found a bookshelf but I couldn't fit it in my room.. it's wayy to small.
