I’m a real sucker for baby clothes, so I don’t usually get much beyond “Frugal” here.

It's also a natural antibiotic, from what I understand. We added some to our wash for a few loads (my husband was having recurrent staph infections, so we thought it certainly couldn't hurt). No vinegar-y smell at all. Also hubby's skin is very sensitive (severe eczema, which is why he gets so many staph infections: his skin is open a lot) and the clothes didn't irritate his skin at all after vinegar was added to the wash. So I would say there are no lingering side effects at all. It's also great for a streak-free window. <em>Abigail's last blog post..</em><a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/IPickUpPennies/~3/433198682/new-way-to-save-money-at-rummage-sales.html' rel="nofollow">Ta-da</a> I have heard that vinegar works to soften clothes.

The cloth monthly pads are great. How about using cloth rags instead of toilet paper & washing them? Some people choose not to have a refrigerator or to use a chest freezer that has been converted to use as a refrigerator. The conversion type costs you lots less per year electric use than the refrigerator. How about getting your home furnishings from:curbside trash, thrift stores, friends cast offs ? I have a laptop that is a Dell ,1Ghz processor, 512 RAM, 20 Gig harddrive with windows 2000 & windows office. I got it free , becuse I helped out at computer recycling event & could take what I could use & they recycle the rest. I get my clothes from hand me downs-sister, thrift stores, free clothing give aways, freecycle etc. There are ways to save on everything , although I still believe it all comes from God, no ,matter how I get it. If any of you are interested in any of these ideas ,I have websites of people who do all these & some have large followings of their sites. Blessings,lisa Hi! The cloth monthly pads are great.

Then you can put two or three of the used sheets in with subsequent loads. For dryer sheets you can use them once then save them in a bag.
