Money-Saving Household Tips #4

There are hundreds of household tips for you to use around the house that will save you loads of money. The best part is, you already have most of the ingredients for them lying around your house! Listed below are just a few of these great tips:

*Cornstarch can be used instead of baby powder. It is cheaper and less likely to cause diaper rash.

*Use half a fabric softener sheet in the dryer rather than a whole one. Or to save on your utilities bill, hang your clothes to dry.

*Consolidate your errands so you do not have to make several trips.

*Ask insurance companies about discounts to non-smokers, part-time drivers, groups? insurance rates, etc. Do not buy insurance you do not need.

*Do your own tax returns if possible and do not be late in filing it.

*Save on minor repair/maintenance bills for your car by doing it yourself or taking it to your local trade school. They usually just charge for parts, not labor.

*If you need to see a doctor, ask for samples since s/he carries a large assortment of products (compliments of the drug companies).

*Get a library card to borrow books, music and movies.

*Got a loose screw? Dip it in glue or putty before you screw it back on. A wooden match can also be placed in the hole to provide more grip for the screw. You can also wrap a few strands of steel wool around the threads before you put the screw back in.

*If you have a rusted bolt, try applying a cloth soaked in any carbonated beverage, or use a couple of drops of ammonia to loosen it. Make sure you coat it with petroleum jelly to prevent more rusting before you screw it back on.

*To prevent rust on your tools, place chalk, charcoal or mothballs in your toolbox to attract moisture.

*Get a good home repair manual. If you still decide not to do it yourself, you will be better prepared when you negotiate with the contractor.

*Unless the task is dangerous, try to do minor repairs and maintenance yourself first.

*Do not buy appliance service contracts or extended warranties (that applies to cars too). Sales persons usually get a commission for it so do not be surprised if they try to give you a sales pitch.

*Do not assume that just because an appliance is broken, it must be replaced. Sometimes all it needs is a minor repair or a new part.

*Rub petroleum jelly on the hinges and doorknobs before you paint a door. If you get paint on them, they will wipe off easily.

*If your paintbrushes have hardened, simmer in full-strength vinegar and remove the softened paint with a wire comb or brush. After cleaning your paintbrush, a few drops of oil worked into the bristles will leave the brush soft and ready to use.

*Punch a few holes on the rim of the paint can to stop paint from dripping on the outside of the can. When the brush is wiped on the edge, the paint goes back into the can. Once the lid is put back on, it will cover the holes to prevent it from drying.

*Make a note of your paint color name and number, and the date when you painted the room and tape it to the back of your switch plate. When it is time to repaint, you will have an easy reference to match the same paint color.

*To remove oil or enamel paint from your hands, rub on paste floor wax and then wash with soap and warm water. It is easier on the skin than paint remover and there is no odor.

*Use toothpaste to fill up those small nail holes in your drywall.

*Keep instructions, receipts, warranty cards, etc. for appliances and equipment in a file folder specified for that purpose.

*When disassembling something with many small parts, use an empty egg carton to put the parts in. Number each compartment in the order you place the parts in and when it is time to put it back together, just go in reverse order.

*To prevent a paint can from tipping over, cut out a circle on the side of an old cereal box and place the paint can inside. This will also catch your paint drippings.

*Save your UPC codes from empty packages of food and mark the name of the product on the back. Next time there’s a contest that requires a proof-of-purchase, you have it on hand.

*Wear your old clothes for painting or other renovation projects. Then when it is no longer wearable, cut it up and use the scraps. Good for wiping dirty hands, buffing your shoes, polishing, etc.

9. Add the thyme and bayleaf. Now lay the potato slices on top of the meat to form a cover by overlaping the slices.

10. Add a few small knobs of butter on the potato roof and cover with a tight fitting lid.

11. Place in a preheated oven at 325′F (gas mark 3) or (170′C) for about 1? hours.

12. Remove the lid and return to the oven for another 45 minutes - to help brown the potato and finish the cooking.

5oz milk

3. Pour the mixture slowly onto the flour. As you start to pour beat the mixture together with a whisk. Add the salt and continue to beat.

4. Once all the ingredients have been beaten together leave to stand, for about half an hour.

5. Once the oven is hot enough (very hot), remove the tray and for the puddings and pour off the oil.

6. Fill each sectipon about 3/4 full with mixture and put straight back into the hot oven.

7. Bake for about 20 minutes (try not to open the oven during this time as the yorkies could sink) till they are risen and brown. Remove from the oven and remove from the tin straight away.

How to sell your home fast and make thousands of extra dollars

Want to sell your home quickly? Has your home been on the market for too long with no interest? Let me show you how to sell quickly and make thousands of extra dollars at the same time.

If you’re a homeowner, you’ve no doubt heard the term “curb appeal”–that somewhat subjective first impression that your home makes to a visitor seeing it for the first time. If you’re thinking of selling your home this spring or even if you just want to spruce things up so the neighbors will love you again, here are some tips to consider:

Stand back - look at your property: You’ve probably stepped over that cracked walkway a hundred times, and you don’t even notice the faded paint job anymore. But someone approaching your home for the first time certainly will, and it can be the difference between someone coming in for a closer look or just driving on by. So, step back and take a good look at your home through the eyes of prospective buyers. Put yourself in their shoes, and make a written list of those things that might raise some concerns for you if you were thinking of buying the house. If you don’t think you can be objective enough, then ask your real estate agent or even a friend or neighbor to do it for you. And while the front of the house is the primary focal point, don’t overlook the sides and rear of the house as well.

How’s that roof look? A bad roof can indicate a home that has suffered from a general lack of maintenance, and may point a finger at potential structural and even mold problems resulting from leaks. Roofs are expensive to replace, but depending on your market and your desire to reap top dollar from the sale, you may want to take a hard look at the economics of re-roofing. And if you’ve been considering just crediting the cost of new roof to the buyer in escrow, bear in mind that you’ll probably get more potential buyers and a higher sales price if you take care of the roof yourself before even putting the home on the market.

Paint is great - use it: Few things help your home show better than a fresh coat of paint. If you’re handy with a brush and an airless sprayer, you just might want to undertake the project yourself. A long weekend and a few hundred dollars in paint can make a world of difference in how well the home shows and how quickly it sells. If you don’t want to paint the entire house–or if it doesn’t really need it–just painting the trim, exterior doors, garage door, or window shutters can make a big difference as well. I have seen many Gatlinburg cabin for sale that have increased their value by up to 20% using this tip.

Make necessary repairs: They may seem like little things, but making sure that everything is in proper working order can make a huge difference in how people perceive your house and the care you have taken with it as a homeowner. Fix cracked concrete walkways, and reset loose bricks. Make sure exterior knobs and locks all work properly. Replace cracked or splintered trim boards and deck boards. Make sure fences are sturdy, and gates work as they should. Repair broken window screens. Put up some bright new house numbers. And don’t forget to squirt a little oil on those squeaky hinges.

Landscaping goes a long way: You don’t need a complete makeover to make a big difference in how your yard looks, and once again, landscaping and yard maintenance say a lot about how you’ve cared for the house over the years. If you have a lawn, fertilize and water it regularly to green it up, and run an edger along sidewalks and driveway edges. Rake up leaves and pine needles. Repair sprinkler systems. Prune back those wild shrubs, and trim overhanging tree branches. Head down to the local nursery and pick up some bright flowers to create borders and accent areas that will add both color and a feeling of hominess to the yard.

Don’t forget the night view: A home that shows well at night really creates an impression. Replace any burned out light bulbs, and consider adding a timer or two to keep the lights on a little longer into the evening. Consider some low-voltage or solar lights to accent front walkways, and maybe provide up lighting to accent trees and larger shrubbery. Keep a light or two on in the front windows as well, to add to the feeling of coziness and comfort.

Clean up: Finally, spend some quality time with a broom, a pressure washer, and a bucket, and give every part of your home a good thorough cleaning. If you’re not going to paint, wash down the siding to remove dirt and stains and get it looking fresh and clean. Wash driveways, walkways, and patios. If you have a wood deck, consider a complete cleaning to restore the wood to a fresher look. Wash all the windows, inside and out, and wash the screens as well. Polish doorknobs and light fixtures. Stow all of your garden tools and kids’ toys away to remove clutter and potential tripping hazards. And take a trip–or five–to the local landfill and dump all that stuff that’s accumulated in and around the yard
