Reduce, Reuse, Recycle--Rags

Do you reduce, reuse, recycle?

I do not go out of my way, but a lot of it comes naturally to me. This is because I was raised by my grandparents who lived through the Great Depression. Although how a depression would be great boggles the mind.

One of the simple things I do is make rags. We do not buy paper towels. We use rags.

Rags that I do not purchase to be rags.

Rags fresh from the laundry.

Old holey towels, shirts, sheets. None hit the trash can until it has been given a second chance as a rag.

Here are some of the benefits:

• No extra expense to purchase.
• Washable instead of ending in the landfill.
• If you use them for a really grimy job, no hard feelings about throwing them away.
• Can be made a variety of sizes for a variety of jobs.
• Doing dishes. Dusting. Spot cleaning. Car. Bathroom. Anything you need a rag for.
• Now you know what you can do with the orphaned socks!!

What is something simple you do that would fit into Reduce, reuse, and recycle?

Friday Funny--Harlem Shake

In case you don't know what the Harlem Shake is, it is a snippet of a song in which one person starts dancing and at a point everyone basically goes crazy.

Not all Harlem Shakes are created equal, but I thought I'd share two.

First, a Peanuts version


And of course, a homeschool version.

Corn Flakes Deal at CVS

If  you click the banner on the left, you can get a coupon for $1/2 Kellogg's Corn Flakes coupon.

CVS has Corn Flakes on sale for 2/$4. 

Using the coupon makes it 2/$3 which is $1.50 each.

There is also a CVS Coupon Machine coupon out there for $1/2. If you get it, you can stack it making the price 2/$2 or $1.00 each.

Lastly, if you do Ibotta (which I'm new to) you can earn $0.50 which would make it $0.75 each box!
