A single mother
may find that raising gas prices seem to be the talk of the town lately, but why
shouldn’t it be. Gas prices are going up just as fast as weeds in your back
yard. Gas prices aren’t the only item rising, so are groceries, taxes and other
items we have no control over. So how can we make do with less money or time?
There are
several things a single mother can do around that house that will save you a few
extra bucks that can be used towards gas money, groceries, and other raising
items that are necessities.
Saving Single Mother Resources
1.
Instead of spending money on scented candles, which can be expensive or aerosol
sprays to get rid of odor in your house due to a smoker, cookie or pets try this
alternative. Heat up some white vinegar in a saucepan for a few minutes on the
stove. Although you will smell the vinegar at first, it will get rid of the
odor and the vinegar smell will disappear as well. If you don’t have time to
heat up the vinegar leave a bowl of it on your counter for a couple hours or
even overnight.
2. If
you have a septic system for your home, don’t use pretty colored toilet paper.
Although decorative, the inks break down the chemical reactions that make the
system work properly so stick to plain white.
3.
Anything appliance that produces heat are the most expensive wasters or
electricity in your home. Air dry your clothes, and stick them in the dryer for
5-10 minutes after they are dry to get them back to being fluffy and fresh.
4. Use
your microwave whenever possible. It’s less expensive than your kitchen range.
5. Wash
your car and windows on a cool day so the car doesn’t dry before you get the
chance to clean it.
6. Use
empty containers and fill them with water and place them in spare freezer space
to keep it running more efficiently. In the summer you will be able to use
these as ice packs to keep sodas cool or picnic items.
7. A
single mother will know about recycling so use shopping bags as liners in
household wastebaskets.
8. If
you can, route your washing machine to drain outside so it waters your lawn or
garden.
9. Do
small loads of laundry in cold water to help eliminate wrinkling clothes.
10. When
dusting around the house, add a little liquid fabric softener to your cloth.
This will prevent static, keeps the dust away longer and it will make the room
smell good!
11. Use
old shower curtains as drop cloths for future painting jobs. Or as a single
mother you know how messy your kids can be so use it when they are working on a
masterpiece!
12. To
remove water spots from your sink if its stainless steal, pull out that white
vinegar again or rubbing alcohol and wipe away the spots.
13. If
you don’t have pillows for your pillow shams, simply take blankets and stuff
them into the shams.
14.
Baking soda is very useful around the house for keeping things fresh. Sprinkle
some on your carpet and vacuum up a few minutes after.
15. Use
old socks or shirts as dust cloths.
These single
mother resources should be able to help out a single mother in time of need when
money is tight and time is limited. Although we have no control over gas
prices, we can cut back on other expenses in order to save up a few extra bucks
that will be needed at the pump.
