Spring and Flowers and Saving Money

Start your flower seeds at home to save the most money, including hanging pots. However, if you don't want to do that, you can still shop around before you buy. A discount grocery store offered this hanging pot for $5.99, which would cost between $12.00 to $20.00 at most garden centers and produce stands.

Laundry Day

Funny as it sounds, I used to do my laundry on a schedule so that could have a day off. With so many kids to take care of, it always felt like there was never a day off from laundry. Now that we live in a house in which the electricity is from the most expensive in the area, I plan my laundry day by the weather.

Laundry day is the day in which the sun or wind is at it's best. To avoid the dryer and over use of the washer, I rely on the outdoors to dry the clothes. Today it's raining so I get the day off.
