1. Frugal Living Fridays: October 14th Edition
Welcome to another edition of Frugal Living Fridays, where we re-cap the money saving
tips and frugal living how-to’s we learned throughout the week.
In North America, a lot of families have memberships to wholesale clubs like Costco, but
did you know that these wholesale clubs can be beneficial in a way that’s bigger than
cheap toilet paper? Some are starting to sell gas too, at prices up to 10 cents cheaper than
their competitors, per gallon! If you’re a member, take advantage and fill up while you
get your club-sized laundry detergent, toilet paper and box of cereal!
On Tuesday, our frugal living friendly cleaning how-to was all about learning how to
clean your toaster. Keeping the toaster clean and crumb-free is a great way to extend the
life of this kitchen appliance so you don’t have to replace it long before you should need
to. It’s easy to clean a toaster but there are some important steps you need to know—

Wednesday’s food tip talked about why it’s important to regularly check the expiration
dates on the foods in your pantry and refrigerator. Anyone who’s serious about frugal
living needs to reduce waste wherever they can, so make this a regular habit and save
your money.
Yes folks, it’s that time of year again: time to do a little routine furnace maintenance. To
make sure your furnace is operating properly and you’re not paying more than you should
in energy bills, it’s essential that you clean your furnace’s filter and/or have a
professional come and do a routine check up on your heating system. A little time and
money spent now could mean a winter full of savings.
Lastly, on Friday we shared some proven natural remedies for psoriasis. This is a rather
common skin condition but the irritating symptoms associated with this condition can be
easily managed with a few natural remedies. In particular, if you suffer from psoriasis
you should determine whether or not it’s a food allergy that’s causing your flare-ups and
eliminate those foods from your diet if it is. Other great home cures are to clean the
affected areas with tea tree oil because it’s a gentle cleanser that will kill the bad bacteria
without over-drying. Increasing the amount of Omega-3’s in your diet will also help
control your psoriasis.
