In case you aren’t aware, vinegar can be used for a myriad of purposes – ranging from diabetics treatment to pickling agent to cleaner. Here, for your reference are 101 uses for vinegar.

When you can reuse or re-purpose an item, you are not only saving it from the landfills, but you are also saving the expense and energy which would have been expended when you recycle. I cut a heavy blue plastic trash bag into triangles, stapled them over a rope and hung the rope across the driveway to block those drivers from using it.

It’s OK to teach your child how to climb the stairs but she should only do so when you’re right behind her, every step of the way. At the top of the stairs, always use a gate that can be installed with hardware, rather than a pressure fit gate. The lock easily disengages for periods of non use.

Yep, we’re newlyweds and eloped together in December 2013. I started Careful Cents and used that as a platform to find freelance writing opportunities. I also downsized my lifestyle and sold extra furniture, clothes, and jewelry, on Craigslist. Her ideas were simple to implement and only took a few minutes a day.

Tell us about yourself. I am used to moving a lot! And I cut back on lifestyle – cooking food at home, taking the bus to work vs driving and paying for parking, etc. Re-examine and shop around for car insurance every so often – I saved $1200 this past year for the same coverage.
