I either use a branch from the yard or draw a tree on poster board. Each day we trace our hands out of color construction paper and write what we're thankful for. By Thanksgiving we have a beautiful and meaningful decoration. -- Melissa, 27, from GA Groceries I used to waste a lot of bread. It seemed like either we never had enough or we had too much and ended up throwing it away. Now, I buy 10 loaves at a time at our budget bakery (Holsum's owned store) at 33 cents each and I freeze them. Sometimes I cut the loaves in half and freeze mini loaves by saving old bread bags. The key is when I think the bread is getting old, I either make a batch of french toast and freeze it by making the toast, putting the slices on a cookie sheet for 15 or more minutes in the freezer, then putting them into freezer bags or I tear it up into stuffing cubes and add it to a big freezer bag that I have in the freezer. This has saved me lots of money and trips to the store. I wish I would have thought of this earlier! -- Janel, 37, from PA Contact the Manufacturer Recently, the baby monitor I have had since 2001 went on the fritz. I figured out the electrical cord was the problem. I really liked this monitor and didn't want to spend another $30-40 for a new one, so I contacted the company to find out how to get a replacement cord and found out my monitor was still under warranty! All I had to do was send it back to them and they would send me a replacement for FREE. After $6 for postage and a bubble mailer, I will have a new monitor! -- Deb, 33, from MN We need YOUR tips for our newsletter! Submit them here: http://www.mommysavers.com/share_tips.htm ----------------------------- More on Movies... I saw some notes in the newsletter about Netflix and Blockbuster. I thought I'd add that Hollywood Video is offering a great deal for $9.99 per month for the first three months and then $14.99 a month thereafter. The benefit for us is there is no mailing back and forth. We live about 1.5 miles from a store and we pick up three movies every few days. It's fun for the kids to see new videos and we're able to share some videos with family. -- Susan, 37, from MD Hey I just wanted to say we have been Netflix subscribers for years and switched over to Blockbuster after we saw it here and we love it. It was a bit slower than netflix at first but when I spoke to Blockbuster about the delay they told me how many shipment centers they were opening up and where and I realized there would be one in our town soon. I love the coupons they give because I order the online movies for my husband and I and then use the coupons to get the kids the flicks they want to see and it works out great. They are more likely to get a whole movie watched in one weekend but I am never sure when I will find the time. I love blockbuster - thanks so much for introducing it to us. -- Becky mother of 2 in Georgia For the Blockbuster FREE trial click here: http://www.mommysavers.com/deals/blockbuster.htm For the Netflix FREE trial click here: http://www.mommysavers.com/deals/netflix.htm ----------------------------- What's New: Picture of the Week: "On Top of the World" Submitted by Laura from Iowa One-year-old Sebastian enjoying a beautiful Fall day.

So to make cleaning fun, I tell them we are going to have a race. I set the timer, I always try to have more time than they need to finnish the job. Once the timer is set, I say, "On your mark, get set, go!" In a matter of minutes the chores are done. It works really well for us. -- Wendy I have a five year old son and four year old twins, also boys. They already set the table for dinner, remove their plates and glasses after dinner, scraping them if needed, and then place them in the sink. They also remove their sheets from their beds so that I can put clean sheets on the beds once a week. My husband and I have just worked with them over time until it has become a habit with them. My 5 year old recently took over replacing the toilet paper roll when it runs out - which is something my husband doesn't even do! When they think it is something that is just expected of them, they don't fight it - for now anyway! -- Deb My son just turned two this summer and now he wants to do more and more things for himself. So I decided he was old enough at least to pick up his toys (most of the time) I tell him in order to play with another toy the one he was playing with has to be put away. He does with, with no hassle at all. He even does it in his own room with out even being told. So his room is always spotless. Now if this method would only work on my husband! More tips coming next week! ----------------------------- Halloween: This year for Halloween, my daughter will be dressing up as a princess. She happened to stand up in a wedding this year, so we will be using that dress, buy a crown from the dollar store, and she's set! My littlest will be bunny - pink top and pants with Goodwill rabbit ears (that's if she will keep it on!). -- Heather, 32, from WI ----------------------------- What's Cooking: Homemade Oreo Cookies 1 box Devil's food cake mix 1 box chocolate cake mix 1/3 cup oil 4 eggs Mix together until well blended.
