It is March once again.And this could only mean one thing for my family... Dental Check-Up Month! Every March and September, we visit our Family Dentist for our bi-annual dental check-ups.We usually go there on the 2nd Saturday of the month. This may sound over-the-limit or very strict to others, but for us, having our regular check-ups saves us money. How? Well, first off, let me say that my

More often than not, when we are running out of time to prepare for a meal to go (i.e. picnics, roadtrips, etc.) we go to KFC to order their Bucket Meal. It is actually cost-effective when you compare it to other food to-go.   As I've mentioned before, I hate throwing out plastic. As such, we end up with quite a lot of these plastic buckets. So, I've come up with a list on what to do with

As Filipinos, our diet has too much rice.We eat it almost 3 times a day, even more for some. So how can cooking rice help us save money? By not throwing away the water we wash the rice with! Usually, rice is washed at least 3 times before cooking it. After each wash, I place the water in a pail and use it for something else for later. Here are some ideas on where to use rice water: 1. For

Whenever we buy take-out or have food delivered, I noticed that the restaurant or fast food gives us a lot of plastic eating utensils. We really don't have use for them since we're gonna eat the food at home where we have our own eating utensils. I hate throwing plastic since it just ends up in the landfill for a long time. So I kept these utensils in another plastic container (I'm really

With summer-time comes the fruit season! There are a lot of low-cost fruits for sale now in the marketplace. You just need to look around for the greatest deals. You'll find out that you can save a lot of money compared to buying the ones in can. What you can do is, peel a couple of the fruits, slice them into bite size pieces and place them in a bowl. Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap (or

My grandmother owned an electric sewing machine, and she used to make our everyday-house clothes with it. She even repaired clothes that get torn. She also knew how to make new things from old clothes. Like if you don't like your jeans anymore, she can make it into shorts. Old bedsheets can be turned into pillow cases. She had a lot of projects with that sewing machine. We probably saved more

Nope, this is not about those people who suck energy from you (i.e. negative and melodramatic people). This is about the energy-sucking vampires in your own home! Check this image from GOOD Magazine: Those lines are the energy that your appliances consume while they are still plugged in (even if you're not using them)! So it means that even if you power-off your TVs and DVD players, they

I'm a mommy of 2 toddler boys. And when they were still babies, I was so frustrated on finding the best baby wipes so that they would not get rashes. I checked the internet back then and found some baby wipes "recipes" that worked for me. I would link back to that blog if only I could remember the URL, but sadly, I don't (baby brain!). I tried searching it in google but I can't find it.

I just found out that the Pasig City government has launched a program called "Palit-Ilaw Caravan" last month. They changed all of the fluorescent lights & incandescent bulbs in all of the public schools, marketplace and government offices to CFLs. This is a very great initiative, with regards to Global Warming. It also means lesser energy consumption. How does CFL (Compact Fluorescent

It's summer once again! And what does that mean? Heat. And according to the news last night, it seems like we're on for a VERY hot summer. Check this equation: Heat = sweat = added energy consumption = higher bills So how can we save during this incredulously hot summer? 1. Turn off the air-conditioning. Don't get me wrong now. I'm not suggesting that you suffer the sweltering heat. You

Ever since I found out that my money increases in value when buying directly from the grocery store, I started to make mental notes on how to save even more. So here are some of my tips on how to save some money when doing your grocery shopping: 1. Never, and I mean NEVER, ever go grocery shopping on an empty stomach. If you do, you tend to buy MORE than what you intended to buy. When you're

When I was still a teenager, I never really cared much about our energy consumption at home. I would leave my computer, radio, electric fan and lights on when I leave my room regardless if I'll be coming back after 15 minutes or after more than an hour. Global Warming was in it's pre-historic era back then... In other words, we didn't care... When My S and I were starting out our first year of

My S & I used to work in a call center company. And as such, we were used to buy A LOT of items from the usual convenience store (i.e. 7-11 & Mini-Stop). May it be cigarettes, bottled water, snacks, crackers, you name it we've bought it from these stores. Reason behind that is because, well coming from it's name, it's convenient. During 15-minute or 1-hour breaks, we would go to
