Well what I did was get a toilet brush from the dollar store and put a squirt (1Tbsp.) of Clorox Soft Scrub w/bleach, and clean the toilet with that. Let it set for an hour or so. It will amaisingly keep your toilet fresh and smelling good for 2-4 weeks! -- Kristin, 23, from WA Cheap Shipping I hate to "rebut" a tip, but using clearance wrapping paper to wrap boxes for shipping isn't saving money--the post office doesn't want boxes with paper on them AT ALL and UPS won't even accept them that way. Cheapest option: use the boxes the post office provides for free, or even the FREE ebay-branded boxes for your priority mail. To re-use other boxes you only need to cover the previous label with yours, or you can turn the box inside out and re-tape it. -- Valerie, 41, from VA Tax Write-Offs Each time I go to the Salvation Army or Goodwill store, I bring something to donate. Each time I go to the library, I donate a book or magazine. This way, the miles are a tax write off! -- Amy, 31, from GA We need YOUR tips for our newsletter!

This was made up by my Nana during the depression. Take about a pound of carrots and a couple pounds of potatoes. Boil them until they are mushy. Drain, reserving water (at least some) and mash until you get a consistancy of mashed potatoes, but orange! While this is cooking, take one or two onions, chopped and cook them with one or two packs of hot dogs (you could substitute sausage if you want). Cook with a bit of oil until done. Add enough flour to soak up the oil. Stirring constantly, add back in the reserved water, slowly, making a "gravy". Add salt and pepper to taste. I also like to add some garlic. Serve the hot dog gravy over the mashed carrots and 'taters. Ok, I KNOW it sounds odd, but I have yet to meet someone who doesn't like it! -- Loree, 31, from Baton Rouge now living in SC These great hints came from our Real Mom Profiles. Keep 'em coming!
