Used coffee grounds make a lovely body exfoliator. Before turning on the water, gently rub cooled used grounds on dry skin, in the shower because it's messy. Then shower off to reveal beautifully smooth skin. There is even a slight oil released from the grounds! Luscious!

I bought Mountain Bread direct from the company's website. I got 8 packets for $2.50 ea including postage. That's a saving of over half what you would expect to pay at the supermarket.

Have a good clean up of your pantry and keep it tidy. You'll be suprised of the things in there you didn't know you had. You can base your meals around these items to save on your next grocery bill and saves doubling up on things you already have.

In preparation for a visit by a large family I dug out the cheap fibre cloths and kept one in each room as per a tip of a couple of newsletters ago. Don't think my bathroom has ever looked better, left it on a hook nearby and it would appear that another person was wiping over the tub etc. worked on all levels. As per tip I used another on my face and am pleased with the smooth, freshness it gives.. can see the logic to this.

For a very annoying cough that usually happens in the middle of the night, just roughly cut up a WHITE onion and place on a plate somewhere in the bedroom. It only takes about 5 minutes for the coughing to stop and everyone gets a good nights sleep! Just remember to air out the room next day as the smell is not so pleasant! For some reason it has to be a white onion. I have used this for years and is so cheap and easy.

Just wanted to say thank for a great site. I have made and used the washing powder seems to work just fine. Have even convinced my mum to use it when she comes over the help with the washing. The washing powder was easy to make I put all the ingredients in a food processor, an idea I got from another member on your site.

When you buy vinegar, put half in another clean bottle (use old empty one to make it easier to remember). Fill up with either rainwater or filtered water (if possible) and let sit for 24hours. The water will turn to vinegar and be full strenth again and you have actually doubled your vinegar for only the cost of water!!

Thank you for so many brilliant ideas, not only for how to save money but also for not over-purchasing as we are all prone to do. Not only does this help the home finances but also teaches great lessons to our children.My latest saver has been to select and sell books long since read and claiming dust. Instead of selling on e-Bay and having to pay postage I have taken many to seconds stores and sold them quicker, with less hassle and in many cases at a higher rate than I could online. Additional postage savings ($3.50 per book x 150 books) ensure my wife and I are happy people. The total savings mean we can spend on a dinner out or simply cover groceries for several weeks.
