Family Balance Sheet

Avoid the soda pop. At $2 – $2.50, a glass of soda is an expensive drink. By the time you leave, you might have had 3+ glasses of soda. I am week when it comes to root beer, so for this reason alone, I stopped ordering sodas at a restaurant because I was so bloated on soda. I now order just water.

Use Newspaper – You probably don’t want to use a rag to clean your windows and mirrors as this can leave them streaky. Newspaper, however, is a great, cheap alternative to paper towels. Use Homemade All Purpose Cleaners – Really all you need to clean nearly every part of your house is some white vinegar and some baking soda.

Two liter soda bottles. When he plants something new that needs a steady supply of surface water, due to shallow roots, he sometimes uses a 2 liter soda bottle. The leaders had us use vinegar and water along with newspaper to clean, dry and polish the windows. My spouse has many plantings around our several acres.

Not just for news, use your newspapers for ripening tomatoes. Just wrap tomatoes in newspapers. Baking soda removes sticker residue. Coffee grounds are a great fertilizer for flowers like azaleas and rhododendrons. In addition to get rid of cavities, toothpaste can be used to remove garlic or fish odors from your hands.

It’s been around forever in one form another, whether back when your grandmother reused glass bottles for canning or in 2014 when a truck comes around to pick up all those empty soda cans you put out at the end of your driveway.

Sprinkle baking soda on the toilet brush and remove stained areas. Use newspapers to wipe clean (they really work!). Just rinse with water. Pour vinegar into the toilet and let it sit for 30 minutes. Remove stickers on furniture or other surfaces with vinegar. Clean windows with half vinegar and half water.
