Tuesday Tips

First, thank you to all the new followers, comments and encouragement, I really appreciate it! I don't claim to be a 'know it all' by any means but I am a research junkie and very curious by nature so I do know a little about a lot of things. I am willing to share everything I know with all of you. I will share all the 'insider' secrets (that I am allowed) because I want to see everyone who wants to, succeed at making money online and saving money at home!  Once there are 25 followers, I will reveal a money-making 'secret'. Once there are 50, 75, 100 and so on, I will reveal another secret so stay tuned, the higher the number of followers, the more 'juicy' the secrets will be! :)

Since Tuesday is sometimes a boring day of the week, I am giving two tips, just for fun.

Tip #1:

Today's household tip: Make your own dishwasher detergent.
 This is SO simple and super cheap! We have well water that is quite hard so I add about 2 tablespoons of salt to the recipe and it works BETTER than store-bought detergent. Not only does this save money, there are no chemicals and it is less harsh on your dishwasher. I have been using this recipe for 2 years now and it works great!

Tip #2:

Bonus tip: Building up a savings account. No matter how tight your budget, you can start a savings account. Have $5.00 per week taken directly out of your check and put into a savings account. You very likely will never miss $5.00 per week from your paycheck but at the end of the year, you will have $260.00 in savings! Maybe try bumping it up to $10.00 per week the next year. You will have $520.00 in savings by the end of the year! It really does add up quickly.
