Hello, My name is HEATHER..... and I am an addict. You can insert
your own - "hello Heather" response if you wish. I am more embarrassed
to tell you what I am addicted to then I am to admit it to myself....I
am addicted to making my own cleaning supplies. I have never been to an
addicts meeting, but fear that I am getting very close to attending. My
addiction to making my own cleaning products started with a little water
and vinegar and now has come its fruition. I make my own laundry detergent,
my own dishwashing detergent, window cleaner, floor cleaner, and now
even my own homemade "Febreze". This all started as a way to save money
and has now spiraled out of control. My husband was extremely annoyed at
first and begged me to just purchase the ready made items but as more
and more of these all natural concoctions worked....he began asking for
the recipes. He won't admit he was wrong but he will ask for a refill of
the bottle and that is enough for me. I don't only do it to save money
and to reduce the amount of chemicals my family is exposed to...I do it
to feed my addiction for being active in both.
So, what does a cheapskate do to combat the coupon madness....I found ways to actually MAKE not just save money while at the Grocery. I have found several programs that I will share that do not save you any money--they put CASH into your bank account when you purchase specific items. They work in very much the same way as digital coupons AND you can certainly use all 3 in combination with your checkout coupons!
