Homemade Weed Killer

This is the first time since I was a child that I have lived in a house. Something we considered when renting our house was the lawn care but we still wanted our own lawn. My boyfriend mows our decent sized lawn so I decided that it was up to me to pull the weeds out of the sidewalk cracks and mulch flower beds.

However, we have hundreds of clovers mixed in with the mulch. Instead of hand pulling each of them I decided to look up homemade weed killer.

After looking it up, I learned that salt and vinegar are the two main ingredients in homemade weed killer, both of which I already had in my cabinet. I took both of those and mixed them in a small reused spray bottle.

I sprayed it on the clovers today and it worked!

Thanks to The Garden Counselor for the information.

Making a Profit off of Publix Clearance

Remember my post about always looking out for stuff on clearance? Well I noticed these trial sized items on sale at Publix for change, went home and realized that I had coupons for them. Not only were some of these items free but I was paid overage to take them out of the store. That’s the way I like to shop!

Shopping With My Sister

Yesterday I got to go shopping with my sister which is always lots of fun. My sister is a shopaholic like no other. She loves to shop but she somehow always finds the most amazing deals so that she never spends much money.

We found these cute Almost Famous shorts at Sears for $2.99.

She also needed a birthday gift for her friend and we went to Bath & Body Works that was having Fall Clearance. She got almost $40 worth of stuff for $10.

At CVS, she needed some air fresheners so we the deal where if you spend $12 on select glade products you get $4 ECBs. After the coupons she used and the ECBs she received this ended up costing around $4. Not bad for something she needed to buy anyway.

At Publix, we got a few things she needed and it only cost about $2.

Shopping is always more fun when I get to go with my sister. We compare deals and we encourage each other to save. I definitely recommend having a shopping/saving buddy!

10-26-11 Dollar General 10¢ Sale

Today Dollar General started a 10¢ sale! We stopped by and found a few things. It was around noon and they were already almost sold out. Too bad, the cashier told us they had a lot more stuff earlier in the day but that people had lined up at 8am to get the deals. I was still happy with the few things that I found which will end up being gifts for other people.

Save $5 off of Any Purchase at Target.com

Target.com has a great deal going on (especially this close to the Holidays). If you use the code TGT75HFN it will take $5 off of any order with no minimum. You still have to pay shipping but my sister got a great deal on a makeup kit for .99 (just paying shipping) and it looks like others have found great deals too.

Thanks, hip2save.com

Edit: I just tried to use this code and it didn’t work for me. It worked for my sister yesterday so possibly they canceled it.

Why You Should Always Browse the Clearance Section

I was at my local Walgreens a couple days ago when I spotted a cart containing the stuff pictured above. I don’t generally carry a lot of coupons on me when I go shopping, mostly just the ones I hope to use. I still like to browse the clearance sections at stores to see if I see anything that I know I have coupons for at home. The problem was that I would often forget exactly what was there and the prices. Now that I have a smart phone (that I bought secondhand for really cheap by the way) I have started taking pictures so that I can go home and look up any coupons I might have.

You can find coupons that are available for any product by using free coupon databases on different websites. I most often use the coupon database on SouthernSavers.com. I did find some coupons that would have made some of this stuff even cheaper, but I didn’t find any coupons that would have made anything free or dirt cheap which is always my goal. I didn’t end up going back this time but I’m glad I looked because this is always a chance to get some free stuff.

Canned Spaghetti Sauce $1

Am I the only person who didn’t know that you could buy Spaghetti Sauce in a can? I was at Walmart on Sunday and I was surprised that next to the jars of Spaghetti Sauce were cans of Spaghetti Sauce for $1! This is a great price for when I am unable to buy it cheaper with coupons.

Free Redbox Movies When You Buy Orville Redenbacher Popcorn

Orville Redenbacher Popcorn is offering one or two free redbox codes when you buy popcorn. There are some other deals associated with Orville Redenbacher going on right now. You might be able to come up with a good combined deal.

If nothing else, it’s a reminder that there are much cheaper ways to have a movie night than going to the theater.
