Greetings Thrifty Friends,

Before you go out and spend money on a special product for your bathroom or kitchen, stop and think. Chances are you already have something in the house that will do the job just as well.

Salt and baking soda to the rescue.

Keep pinchin' those pennies,

TODAY'S THRIFTY TIP: Salt to the rescue.

A box of salt is an important item in many bathrooms. In mild solutions, it makes an excellent mouthwash, throat gargle or eye-wash; it is an effective anti-septic; and it can be extremely helpful as a massage element to improve complexion.


BONUS TIP: Don't throw that mug away!

Is your tea or coffee staining your mugs? Wet the inside of the mug and sprinkle some baking soda all over the inside. Let it sit for a while, rinse, and then wash as you would normally. This should do the trick, unless the mug is really stained, then you may need to do it two or three times, or let the baking soda stay on longer.
