Halving To Save Money

Often we use too much of some cleanser - thinking that's how much we need. Examples include dish soap, shampoo, shaving cream (you get the picture).

Try using half as much, if that works, try halving it again. Ultimately you'll find just the right amount to do the job but not be wasteful!

Your car in the summertime! Put food in front dash or the rear deck when the sun is out. Leave window cracked to let moisture out.Just another example of using things in creative ways so you can save money!
