Frugal Grocery Shopping – Fresh Produce
Save Money on Fresh Produce – Tips On Keeping It Fresh
I just read a really great article in Women’s Day magazine on how to make your produce last longer. Now before I give these tips, I want to let you know I also tried to those special storage bags for produce. I have had mixed results. Bananas did not seem to stay any fresher in those bags so read the tip on bananas below because I think it is better. I have had good luck with storing celery, carrots, oranges, green peppers and scallions in those special bags. I have noticed that parsley and cilantro don’t stay as fresh in those bags unless you wrap them in paper towels and then put them in the bag. Some fruits and vegetables just seem to produce alot of moisture when stored in those bags and that seems to effect the freshness. Here are the tips:

Natural Household Cleaners
I was watching a PBS special the other day that all cheapskaters would love. It was called Haley’s hints. Haley is this very nice man with what seemed like a slight British accent or perhaps it was a New England accent. Anyway, Haley appears to be the male version of Heloise. He and his wife Rosemary have authored several books – Haley’s Cleaning Hints, Haley’s Household Hints and Haley’s Green Hints. He demonstrated a bunch of them on the show. Haley says if you have vinegar, ammonia and water softener (ex. Borax) in your home, you should never have to buy commercial cleaning products. Here are some of the recipes for homemade cleaning products he demonstrated:
