Copper Infused Knee Brace gives joint paint the BOOT for under $5!

Pretty up your skin for pennies.

There is an old saying that you pay for packaging. And that's the truth! You can save dollars if you just use a little common sense when buying everyday products.

A drugstore's first-aid aisle may hold your key to perfect skin. The secret: witch hazel. It's the main ingredient in many pricey facial toners in the beauty section, but you can also find it sold among the health products for as little as $2.


Whiter teeth for less money!

Professional teeth whitening isn't cheap-and even the home whitening kits are a bit of a splurge. The good news is that you can whiten your teeth without using either one.

Just wet your toothbrush, and dip it into a box of baking soda. Then, brush your teeth, and rinse. Repeat regularly, and you'll have whiter teeth at a price that you won't feel guilty about.

Why This Works

When mixed with water, baking soda creates a thick paste that's perfect for scrubbing away the stains on your teeth, and because it's applied with a toothbrush, it even does a good job of reaching and removing the stains that form between your teeth-something most whitening kits can't do.

Throw your Grill Brush away... it could be dangerous!

'Go Green' Hint: Ditch the plastic bottles.

Invest in a faucet-mounted water filter for as little as $30, and use refillable water bottles. By giving up bottled water, a family of four can save about $1,250 a year.
