Do you have a little wine leftover that you are just not going to use before it goes bad? Don’t toss it down the sink! Instead pour the leftover wine into an ice cube tray and freeze until solid. Then empty the tray into a resealable freezer bag and store in the refrigerator. When a recipie for soups, sauces, casseroles or salad dressings call for a little wine, pull out your frozen wine cubes and add to your dish!

Use an empty toilet paper roll to store appliance cords. It keeps them neat and you can write on the roll what appliance it belongs to. This also works for spare extension cords too!

If you have a favorite stuffed animal that needs a quick freshening up but you don’t want to put it in the washing machine (or it is not machine washable), just rub a little cornstarch into the toy’s fur. Let it stand awhile and then brush out. If the toy is a little musty smelling use baking soda and cornstarch instead!

As a member of a really great couponing community, you never want to miss a thing.  As one of the owners of a really AMAZING couponing community, it’s hard to be away for even a minute.

But this spring, I had a wonderful opportunity to work with the folks at Entertainment Book on a new marketing promotion for them.  The result?  A 20+ page ebook I developed on how to maximize your savings and make the most of your Entertainment Book.

The strategies I outlined in the ebook are ones that I have personally used for years.  They are the reason I buy multiple copies of the book year in and year out.  They deserved more consideration that I could do in simply one article on our homepage or in a thread in our forums.  And they are good enough ideas that sharing them with people outside our community was important to me.

In taking this spring “off” from Hotcouponworld to write this ebook, I learned alot about myself as a writer, a couponer, a saver,  and a marketer.

Now we’re ready to share this treasure with our Hotcouponworld family.  I hope you enjoy reading it and that it brings your family savings.  If you like it, feel free to share the link with your family and friends.

And right now, you can get the 2009 Entertainment Book for FREE when you reserve the 2010 book.  Offer expires July 31st, 2009 - LINK TO OFFER

Getting into a hot car can be miserable. To cool the temperatures inside your car simply fill a small spray bottle with 50% rubbing alcohol and 50% water. Spritz the inside air of your car a few times and close the door and waits a minute or two. Open up the car and the temperature inside your car should have dropped a few degrees.
