Frank The Shelter Cat (Siamese)
He is beautiful. So thankful to hear that he will be adopted into a good home.
Looking for Dawn Power Dissolver?
Found some in Food Lion lately. It was marked closeout, so hopefully is not being discontinued.
Wrapping Awkward Items?
Gift bag with lots of tissue paper. I like gift bags because they can be reused.
What Breed is My Dog?
He does look like a lab mix of some sort, whatever breed he is, he is just precious. God bless you for adopting from the shelter and giving a homeless pooch a loving home.

Try www.freecycle.org to see if your area has a local chapter. This organization is set up to share items with each other; their goal is to keep usuable items out of landfills. Everything is free. Also craigslist.org has some free items, as well as many low...
Wash Cloth for Phone Space Around Toddlers
I have a real problem with this advice. What if the child really needs something? You just push them away with a wet cloth?--sounds like child abuse/neglect to me. If you have a toddler--your full attention needs to be on them. Phone calls should be made during...
Ideas for School Bake Sale Items?
Brownies, rice krispy treats, no bake cookies, peanut butter cookies topped with Hershey kisses were always some of my favorites to make.
Use Two Shopping Lists to Save Money
What I usually do is put my food items on one side of my list, and non-food (paper products, pet supplies, etc.) on the other side. That way, one side for the grocery store and one side for the dollar store.
Where Can I Find Spic and Span Cleaner?
I found the Spic and Span spray cleaner at a Dollar General store awhile back. I do not remember if they had the pourable kind for floors or not.
Substitutes for Cafeteria Food While Visiting the Hospital?
Pack a bag with granola bars, fruit, peanut butter with crackers, bottled water, etc. Or throw a small cooler in the back of the car for perishables.
Breakfast Lasagna
Sounds good! I would imagine that you could try different flavors of cereal, yogurt, and fruit for variety.
Ideas for Healthy Snacks
Baked tortilla chips (cut up flour tortillas and bake on cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes) with salsa (nothing but vegtables!).

Set Your Dishwasher To Rinse With Cold Water
I never rinse my dizhes either. Whats the point of having a dishwasher if youre doing all the work for it? I have family members who scrub all their dishes clean and then put them into the dishwasher. What a waste of time, water, soap, and energy.
100% Juice Is A Good Way To Add Nutrients
Fruit juices are mostly sugar and calories, not much better than soda or koolaide. It is better to eat whole fruit--more nutrients, more fiber, less sugar and calories.
Replacing the String in Hooded Sweatshirt?
Thanks everyone--i tried the safety pin and it worked! Will keep in mind for future reference.
Nursing Home Gift Ideas?
I have spent the past several years working in nursing homes, so heres my two cents: *Anything soft and comfy (blankets, pajama pants, sweats, slippers or nonskid socks) is usually well appreciated. *Almost any consumable item (snacks allowed by their diet...
Medicine Chest Essentials
I would add hydrocortisone cream to the list--bug bites and poison ivy can get quite itchy.
Keeping An Outdoor Dog Warm In Winter?
If a dog is going to be kept outdoors only, a person should not have a dog. Dogs need compainionship. Its cruel to treat an animal this way.
Preparing for a Baby?
Also check into signing up for WIC. Visit the diaper websites and sign up for coupons.
Product Review: Oxyclean
Ill second that! Ive used it on stains that other stain removers wouldnt get out. Plus, gentler on the fabrics than bleach.
Indoor Birthday Party Ideas?
Makeovers, manicures, pedicures, etc. Rent a bunch of movies and pop popcorn. Play truth or dare. No matter what, have a blast!
Look For Stationery At Thrift Stores
Ive also found wrapping paper, bows, gift bags, etc. All at very reasonable prices.
Eat Half Your Entree
What do you do about servers who get snippy when asked to bring a box right away? Theres less temptation to overeat if you box up half the food before starting to eat.
Saving on Meals at Disneyworld
We did the Disney meal package last year, and I dont think I would do the meal plan again. You have to make reservations for sit down meals, and the times can be limited. I for one want to eat when Im hungry, not by a schedule. Plus, the menu options are limited...

Store Brands That Are Better Than Name Brand Products?
Ive had good results with: Equate (Wal-mart) versions of herbal shampoo (like Herbal Essences), moisturizing body wash (like Caress), and liquid hand soap. Kroger--their brand of milk, orange juice, and cheese. Dollar General--1000 sheets toilet paper (like...
Was Getting Married, Now I'm Expecting?
Attending a church just to get help for yourself and baby is no reason to attend church.
Cold Water Washing?
Tide and Purex both have cold water formulas--but I havent tried either yet. I usually use cold water for my colored items. The best thing that I have learned is to always pretreat any stains.

Using Coupons at Dollar Stores?
Dollar General accepts coupons, and I belive that Family Dollar will also take them.
Family Dollar Stores
Dollar General Stores also accept coupons. Both Family Dollar and Dollar General are great places to find bargains--and I think that they are the only dollar stores that accept coupons.
February Best Buys?
One word:CHOCOLATE!. I have found some great deals on valentine candy--not only the heart shaped boxes, but also Hershey Pots of Gold and Celebrations. I stash them back for quick gifts.
Eating Healthily and Frugally at Fast Food Chains
Also remember Wendys--they have great salads and baked potatoes. They even recently introduced a fruit salad.
Grocery Receipt Coupons
These coupons at the register can have great deals. A few weeks ago at Kroger, I ended up with a coupon for a free bag of dog food--Purina Beneful.
Dinner and a Movie Gift Basket
I did something similar this past Christmas--I took a basket and filled it with an inexpensive movie, microwave popcorn, soda, candy, etc.
Frugal Sleepwear
Ladies, also check the mens section for boxer shorts or lounge pants. They are cheaper than ladies pj pants, come in many more patterns/designs, and you can just sew up the fly if you want to.
