Frugal fun

Since I have been off of work since July because of my back this whole disability thing is a HUGE money difference then plain o'll work. Not to mention my husband has just got laid off. So in order to be frugal and cut corners anywhere I can to save money.

1. I have been under no circumstances using the dryer. I have hung out to dry all the laundry











2. I have cut out entertainment activities and subscribed to Netflix which has saved us alot of money. We have movies that come to the house and also instant streaming to our computers, playstation 3, and wii. LOVE IT

3. Once an week I make homemade sandwich bread. We use alot of bread for sandwiches, and toast. It is a big money saver and the taste is superb.

4. I usually spend a good amount on cleaning supplies but I have saved alot by using homemade household cleaners. For example:

All purpose cleaner recipe
2 cups of water
1 tablespoon of laundry detergent
1 tablespoon clear, non sudsing ammonia

Furniture polish
1 cup olive oil
1/2 cup lemon juice

Cleaner for the kitchen and bathroom
50:50 solution of water and vinegar

Homemade makeup remover
1 cucumber
Milk
-simmer cucumber for 15 minutes, peel, and mash in a bowel. Add milk to create a paste. Apply to face and eyes to remove makeup with a cotton ball. Rinse face

If you know of any cool frugal ideas or blogs please let me know.
