The original Hellman's Potato Salad recipe

2011-06-23T10:07:00.000-07:00

It stinks that Hellman's took the world famous potato salad recipe off the label. I had such a hard time trying to find it. (as I am pretty sure other people did too) I have managed to find it. You can find it at this link.

http://www.hellmanns.us/recipe_detail.aspx?RecipeID=6609&Version=1

You can change it up how ever you like to make it your own. When I make this recipe I do not put the celery and egg in it. It is pretty basic and plain and everyone always loves it. I just made it at my birthday party and it was a big hit!!! Make it your own so you can call it your own and then you can take the credit. I mean no one really needs to know where you got the recipe. ;)

How to get blood out of clothing.

2011-06-23T09:30:00.000-07:00

We have all at one point or another gotten blood in our clothes. But, you don't have to throw away your clothes. Even if the stain has been sitting for a while you can still get it out. What do you do? Peroxide. Just put the peroxide on the stain. Let it fizz a little bit and then throw the garment in the washing machine when you do a load that's it. It is so simple and you will save money by saving clothes. :)

Coupons, Coupons, Couponing!!!

2011-06-22T21:44:00.000-07:00

Yes, I have to say I have jumped on the wagon to couponing. I must say ... I LOVE it!!! My first shopping trip was nothing like what you see on TLC's "Extreme Couponing" but, I still think I did okay. The bill came to around $400. I was sweating so much at the register because I only had $290 on my food stamp card. I swiped my customer rewards card and it went down to $298. Then after coupons it came to $260. Not bad I must say. I guess the more you do it the better you get.

Living in Florida however, kind of puts a handicap on your couponing. I have not found a store that double coupons. But, if you have a coupon for everything that you buy you can still make out pretty good in the long run. I found this GREAT web site that walks you through step by step on how to coupon. The link is below

www.hotcouponworld.com

If you are new or wanting to try this for the first time this is perfect!!! So if your asking yourself how do I do this? Well here you go!!

Let me know how you make out after your first trip. A lot of my friends have tried it and have been successful. Give it a whirl!!!

Okay Ladies you can change a flat tire yourself!!!

2011-06-22T21:16:00.000-07:00

So, since I drive an hour to and from work for a minimum wage job, and the wires on my tire are exposed, AND the sucker is going to blow any second, I thought it would be helpful to find out how to change a tire. Ladies you can do this yourself!!! But, it's always a good idea to do things as safe as possible.

Things I always keep in my car in case something happens:
* I ALWAYS have my cell phone on me. Even if you have to get a cheap pre-paid phone and slap a few dollars on it with a few minutes. You should always have one of these on you. Pay phones are rare, and in some cases are no where to be found. For safety you should have one to call 911.
* Make sure you have a spare tire or doughnut in your trunk.
* Make sure you have to jack and all the tools you will need to change a tire.
* Have a flare or triangle shaped road hazard warning tool so that traffic is aware you are there.
* Keep a gas can just in case you run out of gas.
* Have a gallon of water in case your car overheats (or maybe in a severe case drinking water)
* disposable camera in case you get into an accident. Or in some cases you might have a camera on your cell phone.
* pen and some paper.
* first aid kit. (make sure everything is up to date and not expired or dried out)
*Tampons!!! you laugh but I cannot tell you how many times I have been out some where and I have saved the day! :)

Enjoy and be safe!!! :)
