Go Generic on Napkins

Today's Tip!

"Save money by using store brand napkins.
All you're paying for is the brand name and the pretty print on the napkins. Store brands work just as well."

Thanks to WalletPop, for the great tip!

This Makeup Remover Really Works!

Hello HouseHold Tippers!

Today, a tip for the ladies:
Have you ever done a little smear of mascara or eyeliner while you're putting on your makeup?
I have.

I saw this Revlon New Makeup Eraser Pen and thought I'd give it a try-

It's Fabulous!  Just touch it on a little smear of makeup and it's gone!

The great thing about this - is that it's a pen; you can wipe off a little spot of makeup without redoing your your face,
and it's fast, and inexpensive, and easy!


Just what I like!

Don't Go Discount on these 2 HouseHold Items

Hello HouseHold Tippers!

I've told you before in my post about going discount on blenders,
not to do it.  I learned it the hard way- so you don't have to :)

Now for a couple of little tips about what not to go discount on-
in your house.

1.  Toilet Paper - this is pretty self-explanatory.

2.  Kitchen Garbage Bags - don't be lulled into discount garbage bags, they really aren't as good or strong and they will break.  Pay the little extra for sturdy bags- they'll hold more and won't tear!

Happy HouseHolds!
