The economy has to be economical!

The economy has to be economical!!!
Do you remember the slogan of Soviet period? This slogan is acceptable for me to this day. I have two teenage sons.
Got divorced from husband 14 years ago and since then the budget of our family lies on my shoulders. And what a sin to conceal, had to learn to be saved.



I will begin perhaps with food.
Anyway, and food is on the first place in the budget.
First, before going to shop, I make the list of necessary products and detergents which need to be got. In shop to a basket there are goods strictly from the list. If not to write it, then the high probability to buy what is not necessary at present at all. Always I pay attention to actions which take place in shop, so too it is possible to save let not much, but nevertheless. As they say "The kopek ruble protects".
You probably time heard such council: "You do not go to shop behind products when are hungry". It agrees to all 100%. Also it was convinced not once.
If, having come to shop, you hunger, for certain you will take something superfluous because thoughts work for now "to swallow".
I pay off, as a rule, with the card. First, it is so convenient to me, and secondly, 1% of the cost of purchases returns to the card.

Detergents.
For washing of ware I buy the Dish Drops detergent from the Amway company. Probably now slippers as this means quite expensive, the price in the catalog of 535 rub, but as I buy it as the consultant, me it costs for 20% cheaper will depart to me. And it is enough a minimum for 7-8 months as the means concentrated and I part it 5/1 (5 parts of water, 1 part of means).

Earlier often used Pemo-lyuks cleaner, very much it was pleasant as it washes glasses and saucepans, but once it did not appear and I cleaned glasses usual baking soda. Same result. More "Pemo-lyuks" is not included into the list of purchases.

As all know, it is necessary to change toothbrushes every three months that I also do. But I do not throw out old brushes, and I use for cleaning of hard-to-reach spots. For example, it is very good to clean them handles of the gas stove. I will provide also budgetary recipe of cleaning of regulators:
We take an unnecessary toothbrush, we dip in fresh juice of a lemon and it is carefully passable a brush on the surface of regulators. If there are strong pollution, then alternate to baking soda. Then to rinse with water and to wipe a soft rag.
Try - excellent means! And without excess expenses.

Four years ago we moved from the apartment in the private house where also twelve hundred parts of the earth. Of course every year we plant different vegetables and greens. Here too leaves good. First, I sow seedling itself - it is much cheaper, than to buy in the market from grandmothers. Secondly, vegetables and greens always all summer and fall, fresh on our table. I do preparations for the winter - it is conservation of tomatoes and cucumbers, salads. And also I cut and I freeze greens: parsley, fennel. I freeze vegetables: tomatoes both whole, and reasonable, then I use for preparation of pizza, borsch, goulash in the winter. Sweet I freeze pepper entirely, having removed only seeds and a fruit stem. And in the winter I stuff directly frozen peppers and I prepare, it turns out very tasty. Separately I freeze the pepper cut by straws - it is for fried vegetables, stewing of vegetables, etc. Carrots which were born small are also cut by straws and go to freezing. This year in plans to freeze, besides above the listed vegetables, a cauliflower, broccoli, peas, siliculose haricot. And also berries: strawberry, raspberry, currant, a gooseberry - in the winter from them remarkable compotes and fruit drinks turn out.

Yes, still. So happens that after a yesterday's dinner there were a little, for example, pasta. On all family it is not enough, it is a pity to throw out. But an exit is. Makaronchiki slightly to fry on butter, it is possible to add a little sausage, to fill in from above with the shaken-up, added some salt egg and grated cheese. To cover on 2-min. The breakfast is ready!

Here I apply such simple secrets in economy of the budget of family. Maybe something will be useful also for you.
