Hi Everyone,
Heck yeah, a drafty front door will drive up your heating bill
-- but you may be shocked by just how much! In fact, a mere 1/8"
gap has the same effect as a 2"-square hole in your wall! So take
a peek at teh space between your door and the floor. See a gap?
Fix it with a bit of weather-stripping (about $15 at the store).
Just screw it in, and enjoy your soon to be savings :)

Hint 1:
Clean your furniture the natural way! Boil 1/2 cup water,
put in a tea bag and steep until the tea is cool. Pour into
a bowl, dampen a cloth and wring out the excess. Wipe
furniture in the direction of the wood grain and buff dry
with a clean, soft cloth. Tea contains tannic acid, which
removes grime and restores wood's shine.

Hint 2:
Go for bags of frozen food instead of boxes for instant
savings! The packaging is cheaper to manufacture, and the
savings are passed on to consumers. And hold off on buying
any freezer food until it's on super-sale: Most stores follow
sales cycles, with markdowns coming about every 12 weeks.
Since there's no worry of frozen items going bad, stock up
when prices rock-bottom.
