It's Friday again, and the first day of February too! It's my oldest daughters 27th birthday today. Frugally, we are baking her cake from a mix :)
I've had more coupon shopping trips. I didn't take pictures of all of them, but here are a 3 of them:
Spent $53.56. Used $79.48 coupons. 72% total savings.
Walmart spent $7.65. Used $8.50 in coupons. Price matched the milk to $1.99 sale at Aldi.
Spent $12.74. Coupons used: $47.96. 86% total savings and I rec'd a $3 catalina for my next shopping trip.
My total coupon savings for January 2013 was $579.70!! Yes, I think I can beat my 2012 total coupon savings of $2, 071.03.
This week's share from the 99 Cent Solutions book are ways to use toothbrushes:
1. Put a toothbrush to grate use. Have trouble getting cheese, or carrot pieces off of your grater? Just use a toothbrush to clean the grater.
2. Tame your brows. If your eyebrows are going every which way, just spray a toothbrush with a light coating of hair spray and brush them down.
3. Get dirt out of the grout. Use an old toothbrush to get in the crevices of your grout. Also around the faucet.
4. Brush before you eat....no, not your teeth, but your fruits and vegetables. Especially brush those mushrooms, asparagus and peppers with a toothbrush before throwing them in the pot. You will get off a lot more of the dirt and such that you normally would miss.
Your turn!
