My money saving tip is to clean with 2 products I almost always have on hand.
1. vinegar
2. Baking soda
Vinegar works great in a water solution to clean counters, sinks and you can use it in your laundry.
Baking soda has a great "grit" to it so when used in a paste with either water or vinegar (the kids LOVE to watch the volcano) will scrub your tub and it there are no toxic fumes to inhale. You can also use a bit in your laundry to boost the cleaning

One of my favorite tips that I picked up through reading message boards and blogs is along the lines of "waste NOTHING"!
When trimming your veggies for dinner prep, don't throw out things like the thin, tough, but moist outer ring of the onion and the moist trimmings from the top and bottom of the onion (don't save the dry peels!), ends of garlic cloves, root and tip ends of carrots, celery, zucchini, etc. Throw those trimmings into a ziploc bag in the freezer and keep saving them until your bag is full. Then dump them into a small stockpot, cover with water and stew down into your own veggie broth, a great base for homemade soup. Pour everything through a fine strainer to remove all veggie stuff from your broth.
If you've kept all of these veggie trimmings completely separate from meat and meat juices, you can then throw the strained stewed/spent veggie trimmings from your veggie broth into the compost heap outside and feed the soil.
The original poster of this idea said that she learned this from a chef who worked in a five-star restaurant. Restaurants NEVER waste food! So, feel great about serving your homemade waste-not soup right in your own five-star kitchen at home!
Blessings,
Michelle

I don't have any fabulous money saving tips. I try to walk to the store when I can and I save all of my errands for one trip to save on gas and time.

I cut my fabric softener sheets in half and make them last twice as long. Clothes are still fresh smelling and static free!

My money saving tip is to use vinegar in your washing machine as a liquid fabric softner. It controls static cling.

I use leftover meat for different salads!
