Saving hacks during inflation!

I know this is an adoption blog but I would like to have a blog about saving money any way you can in today’s rough times financially. I use to be living paycheck to paycheck. It would have been extremely hard for me to support my three kids today with the rise in gas, food, etc. if I was still single. I am blessed to have a husband that is financially able to take care of things now but I am still very conservative.

Laundry hacks

White vinegar is very inexpensive. It has many uses in cleaning.

• mix vinegar with off-brand of fabric softener in a container for fabric softener
• use dryer balls with a couple of drops of essential oil in place of dryer sheets
• for whites put a 1/4 cup of white vinegar with 1/4 cup of baking soda in the washer along with detergent

Toilet

• drop a cheap bar of soap in the back
• clean with white vinegar and dish soap
• put a drop of essential oil on the inside of the toilet roll
• put a drop of essential oil/ drop of fabric softener in the toilet brush holder (smell)
• change out the flipper inside the toilet with a water-saving flipper (see TikTok video below)

Plants

• Save a banana peel. Soak it in warm water for an hour. Then pour on your house plants for healthy inexpensive growth
• Get the Dollar Tree ($1.25) fertilizer spikes (Jobes) and place them in each potted plant. Works great!
