Many of us here at Paid Forum Posting are stay at home/work at home moms and dads so frequently being able to save money is a big part of making that work for your family. What are your best tips for living a frugal lifestyle? I have discovered that I can save a lot of money over the course of a year by making my own household cleaners and laundry detergent. Most of our household cleaning is done with vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice, and tea tree oil. I am going to make our first batch of homemade dish washing liquid tomorrow.
