• Buy generics, even with a coupon, sometimes.. they are cheaper.
• Buy used items from thrift stores AKA pails, knives, measuring cups... why do you need new?

More Uses for Baking Soda

Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) is a mild crystal that gently lifts dirt off many surfaces.  Baking soda does not harm septic tanks, drainage systems or ground water. Its unique pH makes it effective at neutralizing household odors. 

Create the right mix for the proper use.

Paste - Mix equal parts baking soda and warm water.

	Polish silverware
	Webbing of lawn furniture
	Fiberglass tubs
	Car trim, bumpers, hub caps

Sprinkling - apply directly onto damp sponge or surface.

	Stainless steel sinks
	Scuff marks on floors
	Crayon marks on walls
	Clothes hamper

More Ideas

	Furniture Polish:   mix 3 tablespoons of mineral oil with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a drop of lemon juice.
	Remove Lime and Mineral Deposits:  Soak a cloth in vinegar.  Apply cloth to lime deposits.  Leave for about 1 hour.  The deposits will soften and can be removed easily.
	Metal Polish:  Mix 1/2 teaspoon of salt with 1/2 cup vinegar.  Add enough flour to make a paste.  Apply the paste and let set for 15-30 minutes.  Rinse well and dry.
	Sanitizer:  1 part bleach mixed with 100 parts water. Think tablespoons, 1 tablespoon bleach per 100 tablespoons of water;  1:100 ration.. (Google to find out its equal to ... 100 US tablespoons = 6.25 US cups ) See how easy!
