<br />
I was on Pinterest the other day and saw a grout and tile cleaner, we are moving out of a rental so I thought it'd be a great time to try it since I need to scrub this place on move out anyways. The picture that accompanied the pin really caught my eye. <br />
<br />
I will link to the pin and destination when I am near a computer again. <br />
<br />
The recipe:<br />
7 cups water<br />
1/2 cup baking soda<br />
1/3 cup ammonia<br />
1/4 cup vinegar<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
Mix in spray bottle, shake well. Spray on grout/tile, wipe with wet sponge.<br />
<br />
My added directions: <br />
Scrub grout with a good cleaning scrubber before wiping with wet sponge. <br />
<br />
NOTE: Do NOT mix with bleach!!!!!<br />
<br />
Now I'm usually one for all natural cleaners so I was skeptical to use ammonia, but I don't have any little crawlers in my house and since we are moving I gave it a shot. <br />
<br />
Wow! Wow! Wow!<br />
<br />
After I got done scrubbing, I wiped up the floor with a towel... Check out the picture! ALL that dirt came up!<br />
Now, make sure you wipe with a wet sponge afterwards or else it will leave white residue on the floor from the baking soda. Since I have dark floors it was really noticeable an I had to go back over the floor with water. <br />
<br />
What other homemade cleaners out there should I try?<br />
<br />
What have you tried that worked? Didn't work?<br />

FINALLY! Another post :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been busy! What can I say!?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Good news, my coupon binder is FINALLY getting worked on!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Organized coupons make me happy :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I ran to a few places while the man was sleeping (him working nights is no fun for me!).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I went to Homeland, CVS, & Walmart Neighborhood market.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At CVS I picked up the Venus razor, it was $10.99..$4/1 coupon..plus $5 CVS bucks back = $1.99 razor! Yipee! I needed a new one!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yesterday, the man and I stopped by the neighborhood market... I saw a big clearance rack and took a mental picture...too bad my memory is HORRID (little man's current favorite word! ha!).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did remember that I saw the UP2U gum on the rack, found three $1/2 coupons in newspaper inserts so I bought 6 packs. They were marked down from $1.28 to $1 (I was hoping they were .50! No such luck.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I got 6 packs = $6 & used three $1/2 pack coupons = $3 for 6 packs of gum.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
50% off makes me happy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next was Homeland. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love Homeland. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They double coupons and have SO many bargains available. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll only tell ya'll about the best ones.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Carefree panty liners marked down to $1 -- used .50/1 carefree (doubled) = FREE!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Chicken Helper(x3) marked down to $1.25 -- used .75/3 (doubled) = .75/each!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pompeian Olive Oil $2.69 used <a href="http://coupons2.smartsource.com/smartsource/operations/offers/Pompeian/PompeianCoupons.html">$1/1 coupon HERE</a> (doubled) = .69 for olive oil! Yay!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yakisoba noodles marked down to $1 -- Used .50/1 yakisoba (doubled) = FREE!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dawn Dish Soap $1.39 -- Used .75/1 dawn product (doubled) = FREE!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lunchable w/smoothie $3.39 -- Used $1/1 lunchable w/smoothie(doubled) = $1.39 (Little dude will love it!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hormel Compleats $2.79 -- Used 1/1 hormel compleats (doubled) = My lunch today cost .79! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Looking at my receipt now I'm noticing something got messed up with the hormel chili so I payed more than I planned to. I can't complain though... The bottom of my Homeland receipt says I saved 71%! Yipee!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tomorrow starts a new week of deals!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will attempt to head out to the stores tomorrow so I can post again this week!</div>

And we're back!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided it was time again to save as much money as possible, best way to do that... COUPONS!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since we are trying to buy a home in the very near future, this is one way we will be pinching those pennies for the down payment!</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Finally Decided To Take Mr. Ramsey's Advice!</b></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>Well, starting slowly at least.</i> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I found an amazing printable envelope that is easy to use!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Debated using regular envelopes, but I love that these come with lines to keep track of where I spend and how much!</span> </div>
</div>
<div style="display: inline; float: right;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Starting off by printing only five but only have two filled out.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Gas & Groceries so far. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Will add more this week when I can think of some!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My plan is to go ALL cash, except for regular bills and rent. Any $1 bills left in the envelopes at the end of the day will go into a special in-home savings account (a make-shift, duct taped shut, shoe box, that I keep in my closet, with a hole to small to fit my hand in!). The money in that will then be pulled out before Christmas to use for gifts! I like to sneak a $5 dollar bill in there occasionaly, or even a $20! This worked REALLY well when I was bartending and came home with a bunch of cash! Hopefully it works the same once I switch over to a cash system completely! </span></div>

<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Another feature that I enjoy is their "Wish List" feature. </div><div style="text-align: center;">You know how you get emails, phone calls, text messages, smoke signals...etc. etc. from relatives around the holidays? They want to know what your little one's want for Christmas...
