Greetings Thrifty Friends,

The easiest way to save money is to get the most bang from
the bucks you've already spent. You can make everything
from a bar of soap to batteries last weeks longer than you
thought possible which translates straight into savings!

Keep pinchin' those pennies,

TODAY'S THRIFTY TIPS:

Give a dead battery a jolt.

Storing your batteries in the fridge can make them last up
to 90 percent longer, and popping a dead battery in the
freezer overnight can temporarily revive it. Even laptop
batteries. Just put them in a sealed bag to protect them
from moisture.

Get markers flowing again.

If a washable marker has run dry, dip the tip into a cup of
water. Hold it there until you see ink start to flow again,
then recap it for 15 minutes. The moisture from the water
rejuvenates the marker's pigments. Got a dry permanent
marker? Repeat the same process using rubbing alcohol!


Boost your bar soap's shelf life.

It may sound strange, but simply storing your bar soap
unwrapped will give you more suds. The reason? Exposure to
air dries out the soap, so it doesn't dissolve as quickly
when it comes into contact with water. To get the benefit,
unwrap any bars and let them dry out for at least a week.
