Baking Soda |  Plastic Baggies | Soap Savers | Taxes

• Do your own taxes!  TaxAct is FREE software that walks you step-by-step through the process of filling your own taxes. They also provide you with helpful hints for saving even more.

• Use baking soda (1) to remove odors from the refrigerator and laundry (2) as a scouring powder for pots/pans, bathtubs, and toilets (3) as an antacid (4) to clean your teeth.  So many uses and a 16 oz box can be as inexpensive as 50 cents.  Visit Arm and Hammer's Website for more uses.

• Save on plastic baggies by re-using the plastic bag the bread comes in.  Just shake out the crumbs.  Makes a great bag for storing lettuce after you clean it and takes up much less space in the refrigerator.

• Got Kids?  Foam soap will last longer than undiluted liquid soap.  Then when your foam soap dispenser runs out, just refill it using 1 part liquid soap to 3 parts water.  Make Your Own Special Bars of Soap for the Holidays or Any Other Special Time!
