Living a simpler life can save you money. With people out of work and others looking to saving money. One way is looking at all your cleaning products. Most cleaning products are full of toxics and chemicals. I have watched people spray their counters with 409 and then make dinner. Really?? We are so worried about what is on the counter that we don't think twice about putting chemicals on it and then on our food. Crazy. I clean my house with simple ingredients. Vinegar, baking soda, cornflour and water. My house looks as clean as the chemical cleaned houses and I feel better knowing I'm not using those cleaners. I have not worked the numbers, but I'm sure I have saved 100's of dollars over the years. Next time clean your bathtub with baking soda, it really works.
