The baked on food will wipe right off with the baking soda. -- Mary Ann, 47, from MI Wax Paper To increase your supply of wax paper, save the bags that your boxed cereal comes in. Cut it to whatever size you need at the time you need it. Works great! -- Lisa, 28, from TX Coupons on the Go I keep a folder in my car that has pockets on each side filled with coupons not only for stores but for kids meals, carwashes, video stores, movies, card stores, etc. While I'm clipping supermarket coupons, I find restaurant coupons too and put those in my car folder. That way if I'm out and about and have to run into different stores,or if we go out to eat, I always check my folder to see if I have a coupon! I always have them with me in the car. My kids always laugh and say, "Check to see if you have a coupon for that!" -- June, 46 ------------------------------ NEW!

It will be honest, real, and hopefully, through their own follies, provide the tiniest shred of advice, tips, inspiration, or at the very least, a break from the stress that money places on all families trying to live well on one income.

We understand that most of the time parents are unaware of this activity, and often kids don't understand how easy it is to find them. We are searching for a family that will talk candidly about their experiences. This story could help other parents. Would also like to hear from families who believe that these sites have benefitted their kids. For more information visit: http://www.mommysavers.com/casting-call.shtml ------------------------------ In the Forums: Have any of you followed Oprah's Book Club? I have only read a few books of the book club list but I want to start from the beginning and read them all. Have any of you read all the books? Are there any that are just too much to read with kids to take care of all day? http://www.mommysavers.com/discussion/index.php?showtopic=24404 Wedding Regrets If you could, would you change anything about your wedding? What would it have been? http://www.mommysavers.com/discussion/index.php?showtopic=24771 Cropping for Charity - Ideas Needed I think it would be awesome to organize a scrapbooking crop and call it "Crop For A Cure!"...but how would I reap funds from this? Obviously, people would have to pay a fee to come and crop...but what can I offer to make people WANT to pay to crop? How much of a fee? What else can I offer to reap funds while they're at the crop? Maybe concessions? ANY ideas would be wonderful! http://www.mommysavers.com/discussion/index.php?showtopic=24676 ------------------------------ Coming Next Week: The Frugal Mom's Favorite Things |
