Reader Hacks
- Linda says, This is the perfect time to head out and pick pine cones and get a jump start on holiday craft projects. I spent the weekend visiting my parents and their neighbor has a big beautiful tree, she allowed us to go in her backyard and pick pine cones. I washed them up today and have them drying on a screen...read what she does with them here.
- Also from Linda: We eat a lot of rice in our house at least 3 times a week. Perhaps you family is like mine and always has leftover rice in the refrigerator which after a couple days starts to get dried out and doesn't taste good. I hate wasting food and throwing out, so here is a recipe I use. It is simple, quick and makes a great dessert...read her recipe.
- The $10 Grocery List - an interesting concept. It might be the $40 Grocery List for our crew of 11, but that's still far less than I spend in a week!
- Karen's cleaning tip is both frugal and green: "To clean my stovetop and counter, I spray it with water from a spray bottle [misting, not streaming] and wait a few minutes. No cleanser needed to scrub [and hardly any scrubbing; sometimes a drop of soap to sanitize, and that's it."
- The Coupon Sherpa thinks you'll appreciate his 20 Creative Uses for Plastic Grocery Bags. I have to admit, it's a great list. Can you add to it?

We must look and examine for quality and not quantity. The more quality, more lasting effect. I examine each piece for strudy is seams connections and how much strength can be applied if in a tight place or be snagged. Buyers beware, they are out to get you. Taking your hard earned monies for just quantities and not quality. Buyers Beware!!!!!
