Tuesday Tip

A quick, painless money saving tip every Tuesday . . .



When doing laundry, cut your fabric softener sheets in two pieces and use just half per load.  You probably will never notice the difference, and you've just made your purchase go twice as far.  If this works for you, try the concept with other things . . . can you use just half a paper towel? Half the amount of soap or shampoo?  In the Tightwad Gazette, the author talks about cutting the amount of items you normally use in half, and then if that is too little, working up from there until you find the minimum amount that works for you.  What else could you cut in half?

  1. Actually, your tip (and using a little less cleaner) extends the life of your clothes and helps deoderant not to build up under the sleeves. My mom was told this by the guy who replaced her last washer.
