Clean the outside of the kettle and the kitchen sink with Bi-Carbonate of Soda making a paste and wiping on and polishing off. Good for cleaning the oven as well.

Using soap in the bathroom is the number one reason why the bathroom gets mold, eliminate soap, eliminate mold - opt for a body wash instead.

Buy in bulk when prices are cheap and freeze or repackage for use.

Store Flour's and pasta and all nuts and cooking ingredients (ie) cocoa and coconut in the refrigerator to eliminate weevils ever being an issue saving you money.
