Often times, you spend your hard earned money on things for the home. Everything from furniture and appliances to groceries. It can get a bit expensive, so anywhere you can save a few dollars, it is much appreciated. Americans spend an average of $4,504 per year on groceries. What if you could reduce that number by changing the way you use the items you are buying? It’s possible and experts say it’s easy.
- Store items in jars like pasta sauce and salsa upside down to prevent mold and keep them fresh longer
- Keep the wrapper on blocks of cheese as you cut
- Cut sponges, dryer sheets, and paper towels in half
- Spray cleaning supplies on a rag or paper towel instead of directly on the surface
- Sharpen a razor on an old piece of denim
- Freeze candles a day before use to extend burn time
- Flip and rotate mattress every 3 months
