| Do You Have a Favorite Home Remedy? |
| Comment: A daily gargle or two using warm salt water will ease sore throat pain, clear sinuses, and also helps cure gum disease/ prevent toothaches. Another help for stuffiness is to boil some salt water. Cut off the heat. Then stand with your face over the pot with a bathtowel draped over your head. This also opens up your facial pores and helps keep skin clear. |

| Clean Your Shower & Sink for Pennies |
| Comment: I cleaned out a linen closet and found some expired body washes. I cleaned the glass on the shower and the toilet with some of this expired product and it worked great. |

| Calendar Reuse |
| Comment: You can make great business size envelopes out of the picture part of the calendar. Use a sticker to isolate the area where you put the name and address. I have a bunch of stickers for VCR/cassette tapes that I gleaned from my neighbor. I put them on gifts as well. |

| Comment: For wart removal try duck tape. It totally removes planters warts 100%. Our Pediatrician recommended it and it worked on both of our kids that had them on the bottoms of their feet. The warts have never returned either. |

| Comment: I discovered black licorice as a cold preventive and sore throat remedy. Now when I feel sniffles or sore throat coming on I get a bag of black licorice and eat as much as I like - I seem to crave it. The next day my symptoms are gone. Licorice tea seems to help too but not as well as eating the licorice. Must have real licorice in the ingredients...I buy Twizzlers brand. |

| 10 Ways to Get Food for Free |
Comment: Volunteer to help in the kitchen at a church supper. Volunteers usually split leftovers, if there are any, but at the very least it is always good for a free meal.
When attending a potluck make up a dish or dessert that is near free to you, using ingredients that are cheap to you (such as from your garden produce). You are trading this for a meal of foods that you would usually be expensive for you.
Although I didn't do this on purpose, it was funny. I did my best dessert using garden strawberries, and set it next to a chocolate trifle. Folks devoured the trifle and ignored my dessert, so that I took nearly all home. I got a near-free meal.

| How Do You Keep a Sweater Looking New? |
| Comment: I am a fan of those de-piller gizmos... my last one cost about 50 cents at a yard sale. Or when watching TV sit down with a pair of sharp scissors and clip off the pills. |

| 2 for 1 Haircoloring |
| Comment: Over the years I have saved thousands of dollars by using henna to color my hair. I mix it with a lemon juice and what ever else is available. I purchase it in the Indian grocery. Spend $2 on henna every six months or so. I often get stopped by both men and women who love my hair color and are surprised when I tell them what it is. My hair is in excellent condition! |
