EX: 1. Instead of buying a new shaboss coat
glue the womens section of the sunday
paper inside the lining of your coat.

2. NEVER ! buy a garment that actually fits your child
always be two or three sizes to large so that the child
can grow into it!

can You think of any ways to save gelt?

this idea was from a book called
How to be a jewish mother -

Whenever you're invited to a wedding, say that all 8 of you are coming, go with DH, then pack up the extra dinners and freeze them.

Only buy black clothing. You won't need to do any more laundry, because black clothes never get dirty... the longer you wear them, the blacker they get.

ooops sorry forgot this was a game Confused

Gorg stands for gorgeous Smile

What about only buying black socks so you will save on water by never needing to wash since they never look dirty. As far as smell well you could always spray them Twisted Evil

I was thinking along the lines of buy diapers when they're on sale and use a coupon! or buy by the case!

I remember a song from when I was a kid. "Black socks, they never get dirty. The longer you wear them, the blacker they get...."
Don't know the rest of it, but LOL.

OH? It's a game. SHEESH. I thought we were getting serous here and I was looking forward to some ways to save money. OH WELL.

You can serve pasta and ketchup for lunch and supper every night. HMMM...did they ever invent vegetable supplements, as a poster was once looking for?? that can save you $ on fruits and veggies

.............sometimes I think of the laundry but something inside me says don't send them yet!"

kinda reminds me of Smelly Sox by Robert Munsch.

save money by getting rid of your car and take up running like the sudanese.

Instead of buying furniture (I.e. tables, desks) You can use boxes with a table cloth on top

Top Ten Reason To Keep Your Lights Off All the Time

Your electric bill will go way down - well that was obvious.
There is no need to spend money or time cleaning - you won't see the dirt.
You can make do with a lot less furniture, the fewer things to bump into the better.
You need to see the food to enjoy it - your appetite will decrease drastically. Well, here comes big savings on the grocery bill.
As you deal with an onset of major depression from being in the dark all the time, you can just put on your pajamas and stay in bed - think of the money you save not running the washing machine.
You can't drive your car if you can't find the keys - hello gas savings!
You can't talk on the phone if you can't find it - down goes the phone bill.
You can't order anything from catalogs if you can't read them - your husband will love the credit card bill this month.
You don't need to exercise if you don't see how you look - go put your gym membership on hold (you can use that depression as your excuse).

And the top reason is...
You won't be able to read your bank statement - so you can just feel rich without being hit in the face with the truth.

Look how much easier and cheaper life is without the lights - come flip the fuse today!

"Sometimes, I think of the laundry,
But then a voice whispers
'Don't do it yet!' "

My daughter came home from camp with this song ( and a suitcase full of laundry Yes

)

OOps I see red sea posted it. I think your version is the correcter one. LOL.

Except who sends laundry in my town? Aren't we trying to save $$$GELT$$? Okay, it's camp.

My son saved time, if not $$ by not waiting on line with 300 boys from his Yeshiva for the one machine to wash his clothes before the 9 days, and did a hand wash.[actually he waited and finally gave up] Does that count?

When you go to rest stops on the highway-
you collect mini ketchups etc for free!

you pour the mini ketchups into a bottle.
for future use .

I saw this on oprah -someone actually did this!
