Here are a few money saving tips.
• If you having some difficulty either getting to sleep or staying asleep, try this. Put a pair of light, cotton socks on. It just might help.
• Trying to get fashionable on a tight budget? Accessorize. That's what expert Brenda Stark from THE CLOSET EXCHANGE suggests. She also suggests you find a consignment store you like. You can score quite well there and not hurt your budget or cramp your style. You can hear more from Brenda by listening to our conversation with this CONSIGNING WOMAM.
• Reports of carcinogens coming off shower curtains may force you to get a new one. If you do, here are two uses for an old shower curtain. It makes a great rain proof tarp for your wood pile and it makes an excellent drop cloth for painting.
