So what does it cost you to clean your kitchen?
What about using baking soda and vinegar? I use it to clean my garbage disposal. I dump some baking soda in and then some vinegar. No real recipe but till it foams. I let it sit and run hot water.
Clean counter tops and make them smell nice by using a rag soaked in undiluted white distilled vinegar.
Vinegar is awesome in a lime built up dish washer. I used to clean my dish washer weekly with one load of just vinegar water. I some times put my glasses in it when I wanted to get them really clean.
Vinegar is not only eco friendly but financially savvy too. How much does one big bottle of vinegar cost $2.00 in comparison to other cleaners that range $3 to $5 for a small bottle.

What do you do with your change?
I have 2 quarters in my car. One for parking downtown and one for the cart at Aldi's. What about the other change you have? I am the first to admit that I don't use much cash. It can be a pain to use. I never seem to have enough or I end up with change.
I admit that you do need to have cash on hand. Like when I went to Subway and they didn't have their credit card machine working.
Anyways you buy something with cash and you have 56 cents left. What do you do with it? Leave it in your coat to get lost?
Well we have the cheap method get a jar and put it in. Or something like a piggy bank, it is covered and you can't tell how much is in it. It is more difficult to take money out of it. The goal is to save this money.
Last year we saved an extra $50 by putting this money in a piggy bank and then went we went on vacation we used it as extra spending money. I am trying to teach the children to save. Our country has gotten away from saving. We as parents need to teach our children how to save.
For Christmas I got all of my children new piggy banks. They were at Target for 9.99 they got to paint them and put their names on it. We lost our piggy banks in the floods of 2008 so we are slowly rebuilding what we lost. When they get money they put it in there till it is decided what they will do with it. They each have a savings account at the bank to put away money.
