Spend $25 and the shipping is free. I've priced this in my local supermarkets and Target - it goes anywhere from $19 - $21. I ordered 12 cans to get me through the next few months. The expiration is not until 2006. It does sell out quick though so you have to keep checking for availability. -- Valerie, 32, from NY http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00006AG6Q/mommysavers Discipline When my children were younger and would come to me tattling I would make them say something nice about whoever they were tattling on. They would rather die than say something nice and pretty soon I didn't have any more tattling. -- Audrey, 58, from GA Picky Eaters I have a picky eater. One thing that helps is having him cut out pictures of food from ads to make his own shopping list. It helps us make it throught the store and gets him excited about food. We also allow him to choose one new food to try when we go shopping as long as it's not junk food. -- Jenni, 34, from MN Magic Erasers Another great use for Mr. Clean Magic Erasers is to clean scuff marks off white sneakers or vinyl floors. I even used one to clean a paint mark off my car and it did not damage the paint at all (although you should probably try in an inconspicous place first). Nothing else worked to remove this, but I got the stain off in a matter of seconds with the eraser! I frequently see coupons for them and when combined with sales they are fairly inexpensive. -- Lori, 32, from MD - Warning- Just a note about the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. I had three friends recommend this product to me, so I was gung-ho about using it. To my dismay, it left big, oily-looking spots all over my walls. User beware! Test a small, inconspicuous area first. -- Tiffany, 33, from GA We need YOUR tips for our newsletter!

For each holiday I let my daughters create a new page (crayon, marker, paint, etc.). I glue on a current photo of my girls and we give it to Grandma & Grandpa to add to their "Scrapbook of Love". It's a great way for the girls to participate in the giving and it will be a wonderful keepsake for Grandma & Grandpa to look back on and see how their girls have grown. This is a cheap idea for every holiday yet priceless and full of memories. I was even feeling creative enough to include a poem I had written in the front of the book. -- Angela from PA An inexpensive Mother's Day idea we do is in our MOMS Club we make doormats, you go to the store and buy cheap door mats and then cheap latex paint (that's the only paint that works) and have you kids put paint on there feet and step on the mat as if there walking and it makes a really cute gift. For an added touch you can write on it "Nana's House: Where Small Feet are Allowed" or something to that or "MeeMaw's House: where the smaller you are the more loving you get." -- Heather from MD For dozens more ideas, click here: http://www.mommysavers.com/celebrations/mothers_day_ideas.htm ----------------------------- Mother's Day Gift Ideas Under $5 Give a One Year Gift Subscription To...
