SAVE ON CAMPBELL'S CHUNKY SOUP AT KROGER

With today's inflation, prices at the grocery store can pack a punch! But if you have a Kroger store nearby, this week they have Mix & Match 5 or more items and save $1 each. This is a GREAT time to stock up on Campbell's Chunky Soups for the upcoming fall and winter months! At $0.99 each, you probably won't find it this cheap again for awhile. 

Just make sure you pick up at least 5 of them (or mix and match with other included items) to get them at the $0.99 price.

The Holidays Are Here!

It's a busy time of the year, but did anyone go out shopping for Black Friday? :) Personally, I stayed home, as I have for many years now, but don't let that fool you! I shopped online! Feel free to tell me about the deals you got in the comments! I love hearing what everyone finds!

Saving Money on Dryer Sheets for the Laundry

Sticking with the laundry theme here, I wanted to share with you on how I save money on dryer sheets!

You can look at this one of two ways: either you feel you have just saved 50% or that you have doubled your money.  :)

It is so simple, and only takes a moment.

Cut your dryer sheets in half and only use half a sheet per load!  I have been doing this for years and yes, it still works just fine!

Start with a box of dryer sheets.  I have selected a box of 40 sheets of Bounce.

Now open the box and pull out all the sheets inside and grab a pair of scissors.

Take several of the sheets at a time and just cut them in half.  Go through the whole pile, cutting them in half.  Don't take your time with this, just grab several off the pile and cut!  They do not have to be perfect or even.

Once you have them all cut in half, place them back into the box.

Now you are done!  You have just turned a 40 count box of dryer sheets into an 80 count box!  Simple, right!  You've just doubled your product.

Let me know what you think!

Measuring Laundry Detergent with the Cap.....BEWARE!

Do you find that you run out of liquid laundry detergent way too fast?  You probably do.

That the 32 load bottle you bought didn't seem to go that far?  It probably didn't.

If you use liquid laundry detergent, pay attention to the "fill-line" on the inside of the cap!  Yes, there really are "fill-lines" on the inside of the caps.  Are they easy to find or see?  No. 

Most laundry detergent now is very concentrated and only takes a little bit for a load of clothes.  I'm guilty of using too much, as many are.  Back in the day, before concentrated detergent, you "filled the cap" for a load of wash.  THIS IS NOT TRUE ANYMORE!  And I think companies count on that!

You will save a TON of money on laundry soap if you take a black Sharpie marker and mark the lines on the cap.  A regular load of laundry should only use #1 fill-line, which is the smallest marking on the cap.

I can almost bet you were at least filling that cap half full for a load, right?!?!  I know I was!  That is WAY too much and your "32 Load" bottle of detergent is gone in less than 16 loads. 

Below is a picture of the same amount in the above picture poured into a glass Pyrex measuring cup.

Just one and a half ounces!  A few tablespoons!  I was shocked, but now realize how much I've wasted over the years.  Even by "only" using 1/2 cap, I've used double the amount that I should have, costing twice as much for laundry detergent in the long run because I wasn't getting 32 loads from the bottle they way I was measuring it.
