Things Around Your Home!

I don't know about you but I stockpile. When I can save 50% off or more at times with using coupons and combining sales, I stockpile it. My kitchen has plenty of cabinets that are about 42 inches high so it gives me ample room to stock up on items. This is called the UFO hangar. No, there are no little silver space ships in there with little green guys who say "take me to your frying pan". UFO meaning ....ultimately falling out. Well that's what my dear hubby calls it. It's not that I'm not organized or not neat, we are both short so reaching for something in the cabinet well... can be hard a feat at times. Kerplunk *Ouch*.
There are times however, when I find too much of something I have. I usually can find other uses for my stockpile. For an example, boxes of trash bags. I usually pay .10 each after doubled coupons with a sale at my local store. I use them in my gardening containers. The containers don't dry out so quickly and saves me on weeding them. I just cut the trash bag up in circles to the diameter of inside the pots. Place inside of the pot on top of the soil. Poke some holes so that some moisture can get through. Much cheaper than buying those big rolls of black plastic in the garden stores.
You don't have to be a stockpiler to find things that you have around the home that you can use toward some household tips:
Have white vinegar around your home? It's great for many uses including rings around the toilet. Depending on the hardness of your water, pour one or two cups of white vinegar into the toilet once a month to eliminate the problem.
Have dirty neck rings around your shirt collars? Grab that bottle of shampoo and rub it in like you were washing your hair, and watch that neck ring disappear.
Burnt or Baked on foods on your pots and pans? Soak or boil a solution of 2 tbsp baking soda per quart of water in each pan and those scrubbing days are over!
Does your Garbage Disposal wreak? No sense throwing that lemon that's a little past it's prime in the trash can. Cut it into quarters and run it through your sink disposal to freshen your drain.
