I fired off an Amazon Pantry order with things we will
be needing shortly. Remember in January
when I ordered two large bottles of Palmolive Ultra dish soap on sale for $1.87
each? We are still using it! Well this order included a refill size bottle
of dish soap and when I did the math it was an even better deal!!
I had been missing
my motorhome so Tuesday when I got home from work I grabbed my laptop and did
my afterwork work out there. It was nice
to spend some time with Laverne. I'm anxious
to take her out on the road again.
Fred Meyer sent me a
coupon for a FREE bag of Iams cat food.
Thank you very much!
I downloaded a book
for free onto my Kindle. I finally
decided to actually use the darn thing and the verdict is still out. For one thing, as my daughter has pointed
out, books don't die on you mid chapter and need to be recharged. So true!
I downloaded my
Friday Freebie item and took another store survey to add 50 bonus fuel points
to my card.
I also stirred in
3Tbs of the dishsoap into a cup of warm water to make some solution to refill
my foaming handsoap dispenser I keep at the kitchen sink. Because the grapefruit scented dishsoap made
the solution pink and the dispenser says citrus on it I decided to add one drop
of yellow food coloring to see what would happen and it turned it the perfect
orange color.

| Here is a before shot of one of those projects Hmmm.... wonder what they did? |
I did not grocery shop this week.
I washed out a
couple of Ziploc bags to be used again.
I composted egg
shells, tea bags, coffee grounds, avocado skins and banana peels. We gave the chickens watermelon rinds and
other kitchen scraps. I also cut them a
huge pile of dandelion greens from the backyard.
How was your thrifty
week?
I am a refill gal too with our hand soaps. I am surprised at the number of people who toss their foam soap dispensers after they are empty. I even made some foam with some ancient baby shampoo I found in the back of the bathroom cabinet.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a day of rest. It is necessary to take one occasionally.
I would have done that too with the baby shampoo. I hate to waste anything.
DeleteI try to refill my foam soap dispensers, but some of them are more cheaply made than others and stop pumping.
ReplyDeleteI use a 4:1 hot water:liquid soap ratio. The hot water is to get them to mix more quickly. But is that too much soap?
I agree with you. Sometimes the pump won't last until the original soap is gone. The pumps in the Bath & Body Works bottles are super good though. I personally have found that 1 Tbs. liquid soap to 1/3 cup warm water works really well. I know if isn't the right ratio it doesn't foam well.
DeleteYou did well with your savings. I wish we were able to get free products here. I do miss Fred Meyers. ;) Thanks for the tip on how to refill your foaming hand soap dispenser. I had the grandkids here this weekend and one of them used quite a bit of my foaming hand soap. I'm just happy at this point that he washed his hands. ;)
ReplyDeleteNo kidding. A kid that willingly washes their hands is worth their weight in gold! Ha, ha.
