How to REFILL your Dawn Direct Foam Bottles!

I got one of these awhile back (on sale and with coupons ofcourse)
I also bought the PLAIN Dawn. I noticed on the back of the DIRECT FOAM (I do love this product!) that it says "REFILL WITH DAWN DIRECT FOAM ONLY" well, it cost more than the just plain Dawn (especially if on sale!) BUT I found this tidbit of info:
I take an empty bottle of Dawn Direct Foam and make my own refill solution.

You need VERY LITTLE Dawn liquid detergent to fill your empty bottle! Try 1 tablespoon of Dawn detergent per bottle and then fill the rest up with water. Shake it up to get the solution mixed well and then let it sit for a little while. It seems to work perfectly for me and produces a LOT of foam.

If you use even a little bit too much Dawn Detergent, the foaming will be diminished.

Experiment a little bit and see how it works for you.

How to Organize Emails??

Hey, I have gotten to the point that my inbox is SOOOO Full of coupons, offers, newsletters from the various things we "send" for, that it is ALOT to go through and find emails from friends and family...
I got to thinking about it, I can setup a seperate email account just for"OFFERS, NEWSLETTERS, and COUPONS" for free from whichever email account you normally use.
We use yahoo, so I am going to just set up another email account for just this purpose. Thought this idea might help. I don't know why I didn't think of it before!
Maybe some of ya'll have already done this! Share your ideas, tips and suggestions!
Happy Saving

Thurs. Feb. 18th Your Stockpile is GROWING! and menu

I have noticed something, alot of you are talking about how there is not much you need to get at the store this time. That is a good thing!! This is where you want to be. Now that you have your "stockpile" up, you can concentrate on free/cheap items! Also, keep getting your fruit/produce! I always buy fruit and produce, I just stay with the ones that are on sale. This last week it was a certain salad brand (I got 2), bananas were .69 cents lb. (a little high but we had not had these in awhile) I figure I am saving sooooo much on the other stuff, I can alot some of our grocery budget to produce,meat, and dairy. I just stick with the sale items, unless it is something I need to finish out a meal. This next week I relized I am going to need cottage cheese (I will be making lasagna)so I will look for the cheapest one (hopefully on sale!) and try to match up a coupon with it! We have pasta, sauce, garlic bread, and salad so that will make a meal and all I have to buy is the cottage cheese!
Ok. our menu!
Breakfast: cereal
Lunch: taquitos (these were from the sale last week,)and taco salad
Supper: McDonald's Cheeseburger MacandCheese HERE (TASTE JUST LIKE A MCDONALDS CHEESBURGER!!! I AM NOT JOKING!!! REALLY GOOOOOD!)I DON"T ADD THE VEGGIES TO IT!!! WE SERVE THEM ON THE SIDE!!!!

I will also make homemade pudding ( I have the magic mix already made, I keep this made up in the frig, makes really fast white sauce also!) On the pudding, I don't have cocoa I will use some of those chocolate chips from the freezer WORKS GREAT!!
