oh there is so much to blog, but there is so much more to do ...
1. Corn is on sale at Target 10 ears/$1 - I will be blanching and freezing like crazy - I learned all about it at Janette's awesome Penny Pinchers tutorial!!
2. I have some major stains to get out, so I'll be using the Tightwad gazette recipe:
Add one cup each of powdered Dishwasher soap and Clorox 2 to five gallons (a bucket from home depot works perfect or your son's twilight camp bucket) to the hottest water to come out of your tap, soak several articles overnight then wash as usual.
This will remove 90%+ of the stains that do not come out with normal wash and normal pre-treat. Not for delicates. Its very good at food stains!!
This recipe came from a woman who runs a kids consignment shop.
I use it for items I get from thrift stores, plus our usual messes. I have even had success revitalizing baby clothes that accidentally got stored with stains.
PS. to be extra tightwad like, you can reuse the solution.
