Half Saves $$

                                              Hello Family How Are You Today?

                                       Things you can cut in half to save money?

Laundry Soap - Fill 1/2 the amount suggested.

Dishwasher Detergent - fill 1/2 as suggested

toothpaste, need the size of a small pea, not what is on the commercials or ads in magazines.

2% choc milk - cut in half w/ 1% white.

Napkins - usually 1/2 will do

Ice cream, use a cup or mug rather than dish or bowl

Serving (portion size), decide how much you want, then take 1/2, don't go for a refill

Pastries, cut in half; leftovers for tomorrow.

Vacations - look at your master plan, then evaluate w/ a reality check (especially if driving). If you are gonna be hurrying just to make tracks, consider 1/2 a trip and enjoy yourself.

Oil changes, check your vehicle manual and oil intervals. Most can go longer (It's still a good idea to change each yr BEFORE winter) Synthetics can go up to 20,000 miles using an oil analysis @ 10,000 mi

Lawn mowing, let the neighbors stew for awhile.

Lawn, Plant a BIG (huge) garden

All paper products.

Cut juice/Gatorade with water (it's usually too sweet, anyway).

Toothpaste.

Soap.

Scrub pads, the square ones, you know, pot scrubbers, not like the SOS pads. I buy the industrial size (9x6) and cut those in half. By the way, your local restaurant-supply food outlet has them in a pack of a dozen 9x6 for maybe about three bucks. Smaller ones cost about a buck a piece at the supermarket.

I also mix fruit juice half/half with water.

I splurge and use twist-ties whole. They are too small to twist when you cut them in half. But I save the big ones that come around broccoli, and cut them into shorter pieces.

Instead of buying 81mg aspirin at a nickel or a dime a dose, I buy the big generic aspirins at about a dollar a ton and break them up.

So what do you cut in half to save $$. I cut my toothpaste, soap, shampoo, paper towels and milk.
