Mommysavers Newsletter - February 27, 2006 Visit our NEW site for more great resources: http://www.mommysavers.com "To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world." -- Unknown ============================================================== Hello! I had a great day thrift-store shopping in Minneapolis with a friend on Saturday. What a fun getaway; to happily scrounge for bargains in peace, no little voices pleading, "Can we GO now?" Plus, I had Greek food served to me in a restaurant (no Happy Meals) and got to visit one of my happy places (Ikea). Pure mommy bliss! This week everyone seems to be talking about the "Debt Diet" as seen on the Oprah Winfrey show. But what do you cut out when you've already done everything you can think of? The moms on our discussion board have some great suggestions. Even FrugalJo, our resident blogger, chimes in. Scroll down to check it all out! Have a great week!

Use your avid hunter's descent spray after cleaning diaper pail with your favorite cleaner and water and the smell disappears! This has saved me from replacing it several times now. -- Cindy, age 36 Foam Hand Soap I had one of those foam soap bottles that ran out. I just refill it with a small amount of soap (1/3 full) and the rest with water. Shake it really well to mix together. I can't tell a difference between the original and what I have been making up. -- Carolina Girl Bath Time We bought a clear vinyl shower curtain liner to go behind the cloth one. When my 2 year old son is in the bathtub, we can just flip the cloth shower curtain over the rod and close the clear liner. This way, I can see him and he can splash to his heart's content - without getting water all over the bathroom. -- Kari, 32, from Fargo ND ------------------------------ Blog: The Financial Follies of FrugalJo Read why FrugalJo has been MIA for most of this month and how she's been doing with her own personal "Debt Diet"...

IE; When you already live paycheck to paycheck and only have the basics, but still only manage to get $10 a month into savings? Where do you make the cuts to try and get a little more out of your paychecks? Any thoughts? http://www.mommysavers.com/discussion/index.php?showtopic=27474 Potty Charts I was thinking of putting up a potty chart in the bathroom and using either stickers or magnets to show his weekly/monthly progress. Do any of you have a template in which I could use to make my own? Do you know where I can buy a potty chart? I'm cool with doing either. I just want him to take pride in this every step of the way. http://www.mommysavers.com/discussion/index.php?showtopic=27588 Organizing Kids' Papers/Forms/Records Ok, I am usually organization goddess and I don't know where to start on this!
