Need a cheap household cleaner?

If you’re like me, you’re tired of spending all this money on expensive household cleaners.

You need Windex for windows, Kaboom! and Scrubbing Bubbles for the bathrooms, you need Lysol for the kitchen, you need Woolite, bleach or Spray ‘N Wash for laundry, you need something for all the different floors you need to clean. Oh, and then to organize them under your kitchen sink and then to find it when you need it.

I found a handy versatilevinegar.org website that gives so many tips & uses for vinegar, created by the Vinegar Institute. You can use it on the floors, the windows & walls, the kitchen, the bathroom, in the laundry room, even in the lawn and garden. There’s also health benefits: relieve sunburn, itchy skin, dandruff, sore throat, chest congestion, toe fungus, soothe a bee or jellyfish sting, and even morning sickness. WOW!

And vinegar is so much cheaper than the average household cleaners. Now that’s really something to shout about!!

Did you get yours?

I bought these mugs at Mulligan Family Fun Center. All summer long you can refill these mugs for free. The mugs cost $4.99.  My son has had soccer camp all week long. Guess where we go every day after each session?  Yep, Mulligan’s. I have them fill their mugs, play some free games, and fill up that mug right before we leave. No 7/11 and Big Gulps for us. We get FREE drinks every day, all day long if we want.

Tuesdays are good days to go to Mulligan’s. $12 all day, all rides. I even found a coupon for $3 off.

Get your mug and drinks are free all summer. What a deal!

Now that the kids are almost out for the summer vacation, what are you going to do?

I don’t know about you, but we don’t have too much money left over after paying the bills at the end of the month. We need to find some economical….more like, FREE! things to do.

I can always depend on Regal Cinemas for some free movies regularly on Tuesday & Wednesday mornings at 10.

Check out their website for movie selections. Take advantage of FREE!!!

Now that the weather is heating up, we need something to cool us down.  We need something like a discounted smoothie from Jamba Juice.

Jamba Juice is daily posting a Blissful Word of the Day to get $1 off a Blackberry Bliss smoothie.

Cool down with Jamba Juice!

I was on a website and “Free Credit Report” caught my eye. A lot of times these kind of words are just gimmicks, ways of getting us onto their site, ways for different companies to capture and spam our email. YUK!

I hate this. Well, I looked into it more and apparently Quicken is testing this resource. You know Quicken, the company that created the financial accounting software.

Quizzle is a new website that I’ve been seeing more and more. Its purpose is to give us consumers a simple, better understanding of their home & money. They also have a blog that has news, tips & tricks for home & money management.

What I didn’t like is that I think the *free credit score* is not a true one from the credit reporting agencies. I think it’s an estimate from the criteria that they chose. The score isn’t a FICO score, but itis free and gives you a general guideline of where your creditworthiness may stand.

This is misleading to me.

Ummm…it might be a good resource but I think the way the company is advertising to you and leading you, it’s not what I truly am seeking but it MAY have other information that might benefit me.

Check it out for yourself, but don’t always believe what you read. Research!
