Oily rags: Rock & # 39; n & # 39; Vibes and a rat tat flakes

Vinegar is a clean cheap and effective at home.

This week we have something for everyone.

Tam and Soph Mom, Taupo, has this recipe for relaxation. "I have more of a washing machine mechanic told me that commercial plasticizers his" dream product "as he pushes the device and the pipe now I mix half water and half vinegar in a 1-liter bottle, add 1 teaspoon of eucalyptus oil and a few drops of your favorite essential oil. Shake it up, and use the softener compartment. So cheap and smelling clothes well.

"The bonus is the solution of vinegar and the device and the pipes clean!"

Last week, Paul asked Northland on rats and mice out of the damned house hold without expensive poisons. Jackie Auckland has this rather unusual proposal. "My son plays music from rats liberate those who have a heavy, blunt base. The rats were removed and go beyond." You can not say that we heard that before!

Margaret Invercargill has this trick for pets. "This is a good and cheap fleas from cats and dogs working remedy. Mix 225 ml of apple cider vinegar with 112 ml of hot water. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. Stir put in a spray bottle and apply."

Margaret also washing and cleaning tips. "Here is a tip that the son to avoid the arm in the washing machine!. Wash them in a pillowcase and wash add a smooth adaptation wash my underwear in a soft wash framework".

Here is the recipe for the cheap powdered bleach Margaret:. .. "Use a kilo of soda, a bar of soap wonder SARD and half a cup of borax soap and chop in a culinary genius genius put the remaining ingredients and dust Take about 1 / 4 to 1/2 cup per wash.

Some may have noticed the new advertising to supermarket price war in the layers. The conclusion is that they are discounting the price of disposable products to attract mothers corridors so low that if they buy large in the Reduced product also their shopping cart to fill all the daily prices of goodies (using the same trick with the milk to a reduced price).

A quick search shows prices there are actually some hot competition in the film department. The best price we could find (a base layer for a child) for a standard product line, was one of the major supermarkets. It was mainly at a price of 33c 45c compared to other outlets for the same item.

There is a remarkable range of products and fewer young mothers and fathers sizes for the search for the purpose of a fair comparison of prices will be awarded a bit difficult.

Overall, we found the bulk purchase was much cheaper. In one case, the purchase of the 160-pack instead of 108-Pack reduces the unit price of around 25 percent. Buy wholesale not always lead to savings in your computer handy to have, but in this case the bulk purchase is makes sense - and you never know when a run in the layers may be some spare parts you need to be useful (!).

We also found a remarkable variety of styles and prices. The layers with good grades road designers (such as Versace - just kidding) were about a dollar a unit typically.

As a general guideline, we found the best value when the layers were buying large packs of private brands - about 30c.
