Saving on Eggs Firstly, fill
a fairly deep bowl with water and carefully lower the egg into the water.
A very fresh egg will immediately sink to the bottom and lie flat on its
side. This is because the air cell within the egg is very small. The egg
should also feel quite heavy. As the egg starts to lose its freshness
and more air enters the egg, it will begin to float and stand upright. The
smaller end will lie on the bottom of the bowl, whilst the broader end will
point towards the surface. The egg will still be good enough to consume,
however, if the egg fully floats in the water and does not touch the bottom
of the bowl at all, it should be discarded, as it will most likely be bad. --

Entertainment Savings
We recently we started utilizing our local
library which has a huge dvd colletion you can check out for free. It has
saved us money plus we really enjoy having a family night at home with
popcorn and a movie-instead of going to the theater all the time. -- Member

Cloth Napkins When
I found a dozen cloth napkins on after-Christmas clearance for about $3, I
announced that beginning with the new year, we would be using only cloth
napkins. I love it. I don't know how much we're saving, but I love the
effect. Our meals haven't changed -- I'm still preparing the same foods --
but everything seems more elegant. Dh even started lighting the candle in
the centerpiece. -- Member Jeweled
