Frugal Living: Rich and Creamy Sugar Scrub Tutorial - MoneySavingQueen - June 2010


Frugal Living: Rich and Creamy Sugar Scrub Tutorial

This post is shared from the MoneySavingQueen Blog. 25 Days of Frugal Christmas Gifts & Giveaways! She'll be posting a new frugal Christmas gift idea each day so be sure to check back. It is possible to have a great Christmas without all the debt and worry.

Read more: http://moneysavingqueen.com/November-2010/Day-1-Rich-amp-Creamy-Sugar-Scrub-amp-50-Target-Giveaway/#ixzz16siJzzDR I have been making these sugar scrubs for a few years now. I do not remember exactly what website I found my directions on but there are TONS of them out there. I am not one to really follow directions very well so I don’t remember the amounts.
I just put a little bit of this and a little bit of that until it looks right to me. Sugar scrubs are VERY easy to make, they can be made out of your favorite body wash or your favorite essential oil. Play around with the scents and have fun!
Step 1: Pour sugar into a mixing bowl.
Step 2: Add some olive oil.
Step 3: Add your favorite body wash (or whatever you got free after coupons).
Step 4: Mix ingredients, making sure to scrape the sides of the bowl.
Step 5: Store in a container of your choice.
I like to use plastic containers since you will be using this in the bathroom but today, I ran out of them so had to use glass instead. This sugar scrub is great for those rough spots on your skin and helps keep your skin super soft.

7-things-you-should-always-buy-generic: Personal Finance News from Yahoo! Finance

7-things-you-should-always-buy-generic: Personal Finance News from Yahoo! Finance: "7 Things You Should Always Buy Generic"

by Stacy Johnson
Saturday, September 11, 2010

Save just $5 a day, or $150 a month, for 30 years — earn 10 percent on it — and you'll end up with a nest egg of $342,000. Would that make a difference in your life? (By the way, if you're wondering how the heck you can make 10% on your savings, you can't — at least without risk. It is possible, however: see my stock portfolio.)

The tricky part is saving that $5 without sacrificing your quality of life. And one of many ways of doing that is to pay for name brands only when name brands make a difference. Sound obvious? Take a quick stroll around any grocery store and you'll see that it must not be at all obvious, because the shelves are stuffed with products that cost extra — sometimes a whole lot extra — in exchange for nothing more than a name.

I recently took a camera into a local grocery store and found some amazing price differences between name brand items and their generic equivalents. Check out the video below, then meet me on the other side for more.




As we walked around my local Publix to shoot that video, I jotted down the prices of some of the stuff we were looking at. Check out this list — it's amazing that people will pay this much extra for substantially identical products, presumably simply because some commercial told them to.

1. Pain relievers and other over-the-counter medications

Acetaminophen — the active ingredient in Tylenol — is available in many generic products. Note that the generics aren't similar: they're identical. Why would you ever pay more for an identical product? This also applies to everything from cold medicine to eye drops — virtually every over-the-counter medication. The labels are right there — read them.

Name-Brand Acetaminophen: $10.99
Store-Brand Acetaminophen: $6.99
Difference: $4.00 (57 percent)

2. Water

Although I should certainly be used to it by now, I can't get over the fact that people go to the store to buy something in a bottle that they could be getting nearly free in their kitchen sink. But even if you can convince me that bottled water is worth the money, you'll have a heck of time convincing me that the gallon jug from Crystal Springs is noticeably better than the one from Publix. And if you're really concerned about water quality and/or taste — why aren't you buying a filter and making your own bottled water? I just don't get this entire concept.

Name-Brand Water: $1.25
Store-Brand Water: $.85
Difference: $.40 (48 percent)

3. Milk

I'm sure there are connoisseurs of moo-juice that could distinguish name-brand milk from store-brand — but I'm not quite sure how they'd do it. Bouquet? Finish? Sounds like a bunch of bull to me.

Name-Brand Milk: $5.45
Store-Brand Milk: $3.39
Difference: $2.06 (60 percent)

4. Margarine

It's already a substitute for butter. Is it really going to negatively impact your quality of life to substitute the substitute?

Name-Brand Margarine: $1.79
Store-Brand Margarine: $1.19
Difference: $.60 (50%)

5. Bleach

You're taking a cup of chlorine and adding it to gallons of water in your washing machine. How could any TV commercial possibly convince you that a brand name will make your clothes come out better?

Name-Brand Bleach: $2.25
Store-Brand Bleach: $1.67
Difference: $.58 (35 percent)

6. Cleaning Products

Many — if not most — cleaning products are already overpriced substitutes for stuff you already have around the house. Two of the most popular news stories we've ever done were Household Products Vinegar Can Replace and Do-It-Yourself Laundry Detergent. But let's assume that you have a fetish for spray bottles and insist on buying ready-to-use cleaning products: is the name brand getting your counter that much cleaner?

Name-Brand Cleaner with Bleach: $3.29
Store-Brand Cleaner with Bleach: $2.39
Difference: $.90 (38 percent)

7. Spices

Think your job is hard? Imagine if your career entailed convincing the public that your company's salt — the most basic of ingredients — was better than some other company's salt. The whole idea is preposterous. And yet, there they sit, side by side, with nothing but their labels and their prices to set them apart. And where spices are concerned, that's just the beginning — can you tell your oregano from mine?

Name-Brand Oregano: $5.48/oz.
Store-Brand Oregano: $1.24/oz.
Difference: $4.24 (342 percent)

I'm going to stop this exercise here. Not because I couldn't go on — I could turn this into a book — but those are all the specific prices that I wrote down while we were shooting the above story. There are literally hundreds — if not thousands — of examples of people routinely swapping hard-earned cash for something virtually worthless: a name brand. It happens in the grocery store, it happens in the clothing store and it happens at the car dealer. It happens everywhere.

Am I saying that name-brands are never worth the money? Of course not. I can tell the difference between Dunkin Donuts coffee and store-brand — that's why I pay extra for it. But I certainly can't tell the difference between brands of oregano, bleach, orange juice, bananas, cheese, spaghetti, flour, sugar and a plethora of other products.

Paying extra for name brands that don't offer higher quality in return is nothing less than stupid. If you can use that money to instead build a $342,000 nest-egg, you absolutely should. Even if you don't need the money, maybe you should still refuse to do what the commercials tell you and donate the difference to charity. In either case, the world ends up a better place.

Home Depot 4th of July Paint Rebate

 Home Depot 4th of July Paint Rebate




Paint rebates seem to be becoming a holiday tradition. Even if you don't have a painting project planned for the holiday weekend, this is a great time to buy.

 
  • Purchase Glidden Premium Paint at Home Depot
  • Between June 24th and July 5th
  • Receive a $5 per one-gallon rebate
  • Receive a $20 per five-gallon bucket rebate
  • Submit Rebate form by mail or online
Make sure you take a look at the rebate form for the specific paint products included in the rebate offer.

NOTE: The last time there was a paint rebate offer, Courtney left a very useful tip in comments. Make sure your cashier scans each can of paint separately. Courtney had a rebate denied because her cashier just scanned one can and typed in the number bought. The UPC codes and receipt information did not match, so she didn't receive the rebate on each can.
Thanks, Courtney!"

Do you WAG?

Do you shop Walgreens is the question? Yes, Walgreens can often have higher prices than your local big box stores, but each week they do have some steals. To be able to understand all the deals one must first learn the lingo.

Here are some abbreviations I will use:
WAG = Walgreens
RR = Register Rewards, coupons that are printed after you purchase certain items. These are typically Manufacturer's Coupons that can be used on your next purchase. They are for $ amounts off, good on any item.
MQ = Manufacturer's Coupon
YMMV = Your mileage may vary (means it may not be at all stores)
GC = Gift Card
B1G1 or BOGO - Buy one get one free
FAR - Free After Rebate

RR Q & A
Q. Can I "roll" my RR, paying for the same deal with the RR from a previous purchase?
A. Typically, no. Do NOT pay for your next set of diapers (or whatever deal) with the Register Rewards coupon that you got from a previous purchase of the same deal, the Catalina machine will NOT spit out another RR. You CAN use the RR to purchase a different RR deal though, as long as it's not part of the same deal.

Q. Can I get more than 1 RR per transaction?
A. Yes, but you cannot get more than 1 RR from the same item per transaction. i.e. If your transaction consists of toothpaste, toothpaste, toothpaste, you will only get 1 RR, consider separate transactions to get multiple RR. If your transaction consists of toothpaste, razor, shampoo and each of these are giving RR, you will get RR for each item.

Q. Can I use the RR to pay for a gift card?
A. Typically the wording of the RR prohibits this but the register will allow it. Most cashiers will NOT take it, YMMV.

Q. I was unable to use multiple RRs to pay for my purchase, what gives?
A. The register considers most RRs as manufacturer's coupons and requires you to purchase 1 item for each RR redeemed. If you want to buy a $20 item with four $5 RRs, you will need 3 additional filler items. ALSO, some stores have a limit of one RR redeemed per purchase (or per day).

Q. Can I get cash back with my RR?
A. No, your RRs typically can cover up to the subtotal but not more than that.

This week's (8/30 - 9/5 steals are:
Rembrandt Toothpaste Free after RR, $5 get $5 RR
Carefree Ultra Protection Pantiliners Free after RR, $1.99 Get $2 RR
Men's Zone 6 blade Razor System Free after RR, $3.99 Get $4 RR
Colgate 360 ActiFlex Toothbrush Free after Rr, $2.99 Get $3 RR
Breathe Right Nasal Strips, 10 pack $4.99, Get $4 RR
Reach Dental Care (Total Care Toothbrush, Total Care or Ultra Clean Floss) $2.99, Get $2 RR
Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash 20% off, Get $2 RR
Maybelline Eye Cosmetics Sale, B1G1
Scunci Hair Accessories priced up to $3.99 only $0.99 with in ad coupon
Secret or Old Spice, select varieties only $1.99 with in ad coupon
Kellogg's Cereal or Bars, select varieties B1G1
Coffeemate Creamer 16 oz liquid $1.50

You can use MQ on these items and actually end up making a little money. Also, WAG policy is to allow both MQ and WAG store coupons to be use together on the same item.


This can be very confusing and time consuming at first, but it can really pay off in the end.

Happy WAGing!
