Make Your Own Drain Opener

If you've ever finished brushing your teeth only to find an ugly backed up mess of slim and water in your bathroom sink, or finished taking a shower to find yourself standing in a slurry of dirty ankle deep water, then you know too well the nightmare of a clogged drain. But what to do? Call a plumber to come out and charge you for what you can easily remedy yourself? Of course you can always go to your local discount store and pay good money for a bottle of overpriced drain opener which by the way will kill the the good bacteria in your septic system. There is a better cheaper solution! I have experimented with several variations of homemade drain cleaners that can be made using common items that you may already have on hand around the house. Keep in mind that this may not solve all your clogged drain problems but will certainly take care of minor drain restrictions such as hair and dirt. This is very simple and works amazingly well, not to mention very inexpensive! You will need a 1/4 cup of baking soda, a 1/4 cup of vinegar and a kettle of boiling water. Pour baking soda directly into drain then pour vinegar in drain. Place drain stopper/plug in drain opening and let stand for 15 minutes. Remove drain plug and pour hot water into drain and replace drain plug. Let stand for about 30 minutes and your drains will be running free. For really bad clogs, you may need to repeat.

Make Money Taking Online Surveys

You will bump into so many free cash paying survey sites that your head might jut explode. It would be so great if all of them paid top dollar, but we all know that this isn't the case. In fact, nineteen out of twenty will pay you very little and it's getting very hard to find the ones that give you top dollar. It doesn't have to be that difficult to find free cash paying survey sites that give good money any more, and I'll show you why.
You don't have to spend all of your spare time joining random places, hoping that one or two of them live up to expectations and pay you well for your efforts. To stop that evil trend from occurring, you only need one tip: Completely stop using search engines to skim the web for free cash paying survey sites. It's a small tip, but it's very important. The listings you get are littered with worthless websites that underpay you.
My next tip is even more crucial. It's going to show you the simplest way to get directly to the top dollar websites. Also, it's even simpler than the last tip. To get right to the free cash paying survey sites that pay high, you only need forums. Big forums to be exact. For starters, this is probably the only reliable place left where you can gather all sorts of honest info on surveys. Have you tried looking for honest info on this subject lately? Well, then you know how hard it can be. You don't have to worry about that much when inside of big forums, because they are well established and have strict rules about posting there.
With that said, the part of the forum you need is the archive section. This is your golden ticket. These archives are always huge and are always stacked with past topics on surveys. This is where average people, just like you, have share their inside info and knowledge about what they have found over the years, including the free cash paying survey sites that they are the happiest with. That's just one example of the information you can gather there, but the rest is just as good.

(2) QUICK STRATEGIES TO SAVE MONEY NOW

Remember "SAVED" Money is "MADE" Money (every little bit counts)

1. Review your most recent Automobile Insurance Policy/bill. You can instantly save $40 - $ 80 every 6 months by dropping unnecessary coverages such as under insured motorist coverage (this is not to be confused with uninsured motorist coverage which is required by law in most states), extremely low deductibles and medical coverage.

2. If your bank charges you a fee to have a checking account you should definitely shop around for another bank. There are plenty of banks that would be happy to have your business and not charge you a fee for letting them use your money. Some will even pay you interest, while it may not be much, remember SAVED MONEY IS MADE MONEY. This strategy could put an extra $5 to $10 dollars a month in your pocket.

SAVE MONEY BY MAKING YOUR OWN LAUNDRY DETERGENT

I’ve been experimenting with making lots of cleaning supplies at home, but this one is by far the craziest - and the most successful. Basically, I made a giant bucket of slime that works incredibly well as laundry detergent at a cost of about three cents a load. For comparison’s sake, a jumbo container of Tide at Amazon.com costs $28.99 for 96 loads, or a cost of $0.30 a load. Thus, with each load of this stuff, I’m saving more than a quarter. Even better - I got to make a giant bucket of slime in the kitchen and my wife approved of it.Here’s what you need:- 1 bar of soap (whatever kind you like; I used Lever 2000 because we have tons of bars of it from a case we bought a while back)- 1 box of washing soda (look for it in the laundry detergent aisle at your local department store - it comes in an Arm & Hammer box and will contain enough for six batches of this stuff)- 1 box of borax (this is not necessary, but I’ve found it really kicks the cleaning up a notch - one box of borax will contain more than enough for tons of batches of this homemade detergent - if you decide to use this, be careful)- A five gallon bucket with a lid (or a bucket that will hold more than 15 liters - ask around - these aren’t too tough to acquire)- Three gallons of tap water- A big spoon to stir the mixture with- A measuring cup- A knifeStep One: Put about four cups of water into a pan on your stove and turn the heat up on high until it’s almost boiling. While you’re waiting, whip out a knife and start shaving strips off of the bar of soap into the water, whittling it down. Keep the heat below a boil and keep shaving the soap. Eventually, you’ll shave up the whole bar, then stir the hot water until the soap is dissolved and you have some highly soapy water.Step Two: Put three gallons of hot water (11 liters or so) into the five gallon bucket - the easiest way is to fill up three gallon milk jugs worth of it. Then mix in the hot soapy water from step one, stir it for a while, then add a cup of the washing soda. Keep stirring it for another minute or two, then add a half cup of borax if you are using borax. Stir for another couple of minutes, then let the stuff sit overnight to cool.And you’re done. When you wake up in the morning, you’ll have a bucket of gelatinous slime that’s a paler shade of the soap that you used (in our case, it’s a very pale greenish blue). One measuring cup full of this slime will be roughly what you need to do a load of laundry - and the ingredients are basically the same as laundry detergent. Thus, out of three gallons, you’ll get about 48 loads of laundry. If you do this six times, you’ll have used six bars of soap ($0.99 each), one box of washing soda ($2.49 at our store), and about half a box of borax ($2.49 at our store, so $1.25) and make 288 loads of laundry. This comes up to a cost of right around three cents a gallon, or a savings of $70.
