    What did you do to save $ today?

    Yep the big bags are. I gave up on Lay's & all the big companies. We pay about $2.99 for a smaller bag of kettle cooked chips; I forget the company's name but they have a flavor called Thai Spice that is really good! :drool But that's not why posted. I saved money by fixing a belt loop on my...

    I resuced my cell phone! This trick works!!

    I used to mess about in boats when I was younger. If you drop it in salt water while it is on, it is most likely toasted. If it was off, you might be able to save it: 1. Leave it in the water. If you dry it out now, the salt will be inside (salt=bad). 2. Get it into fresh water ASAP. 3...

    Where/how do you incubate your yogurt?

    <he looks at the floor> Um, we just plug our little yogurt makery thing into the wall and set the dial. Until just now, I thought it was pretty cool that we made our own. I have so much to learn. :rolleyes: DW is never gonna go for the couch pillow option! :lol: Oh, that's funny.

    The Self-Sufficient Skills thread (new name, old thread!)

    I taught myself how to fix a water softener this year. We have very hard well water and a softener is a must. When the last one died I just bought a new one. Those days are over. I went through the diagnostics and ordered the parts online. It would have been fun if the pressure weren't so...
