Home Teeth Whitening & Stop Smoking Products



A Toothbrush Can Be A Gigantic Budget Stretcher

I am of the opinion that you can save yourself a lot of money just by being proactive with your teeth.  You probably already know that a toothache demands attention.  

It will not wait.  Daily cleansing as well as good nutrition will go a long ways in providing you and your family good dental checkups.

I make my own special tooth paste that has saved me a lot of money, and has served me well over many years.  Bascially my recipe consists of my toothbrush, and baking soda.  I brush twoce a day.  I try to remember to brush at night, especially when I have had a sweet  treat.

I floss too, once a day.  My baking soda over time has kept my teeth nice and white.  Baking soda tends to whiten somewhat slow, but is a good tool to maintain a toothwhitenen system that has been used by a lot of my friends with excellent results.

Today, I usually ace my dental checkups.  But it hasn't always been that way.  I use to have some serious dental problems where my teeth were moving around in the sockets.  I have had some extractions and loss a precious tooth in the front.  

I have had some expensive dental care that I will always respect.  I preserve that dental work that took me 18 months to pay off.  I decided to spend some time on my teeth, and clean them properly.

Teeth work very hard for us, and deserve our utmost interest in keeping them healthy, and intact.  Dental insurance very seldom will not pay the entire bill.  Plans will vary widely.  

I had a great deal to pay for out of pocket over and above what the insurance covered.  Dental work is just so expensive, in my opinion.  So it makes cents to me to work that toothbrush, jump on, and ride the savings train to better checkups.

Having Dental Insurance Can Save You Money!

      * Save on cleanings, checkups, fillings, braces & more
      * Quick plan activation & no paperwork hassles
      * Wide choice of plans and participating dentists nationwide

      There is so much confusion today with so many different types of offerings available outside of having insurance that you really, as a savvy consumer, have to pay close attention to what you are purchasing.

      The above image is offerings of various dental insurance plans.  It is my understanding that these plans are insurance plans for the most part, versus a discount plan.  If it uses the word insurance then it is an insurance policy versus a discount  plan. 
      It's important to take good care of our teeth.  Chewing our food properly plays a huge role in how we are able to digest and assimilate nutrients.  I take time to  care for my teeth.  I have used  baking soda fir years.  

      However, there are products on the market that may work faster for you in obtaining that beautiful smile.  Friends of mine have tried and love the product below.

      Smoking Can Yellow 
      Your Smile And Increase Probability of Illness

      Smoking is extremely addictive.  If you don't already smoke, don't start would be my advice.  If you want to stop smoking Smoke Deter could be the answer for you.  My father was a smoker.  

      He smoked for years, quit for a time and picked it back up.  He never got that second chance.  I understand first hand how difficult it is to stop smoking.  To stop smoking is a challenge.  Be patient with yourself and don't give up.

      Buying Cheap & Eating Cheap Are Not Synonymous
      Eating  healthy is in my opinion a great way to demonstrate frugality.  It's important to pay attention to your diet on a daily basis.  You want to make sure you are consuming all the nutrients your body needs to stay healthy.  In today's world it can be difficult to obtain all the nutrients from food.  This is one of the reasons why I supplement my diet with vitamins. 


      Vitamin PowerVitamin World
      Because our soil is so depleted, I like to take vitamin supplements to support my diet.  Every week I prepare my supplement box to make it easier for me to remember to take my vitamins.  

      I take a multivitamin along with a B-Complex.
      Your vitamins regimen should reflect your specific supplemental needs to provide optimum support.  And of course a quality supplement makes a world of difference.



      Taking Vitamins Can Stretch Your Budget

      I am of the opinion that taking vitamins is not necessary when you are consuming a balanced diet. However, in today's world a balanced diet can be hard to achieve because of nutrient depleted soil, nutrients loss in shipping, storing, and processing.  

      Nutrients are also loss in the kitchen because of inappropriate refrigeration and overcooking.  Click on the Vitamin World image above.




      For Extra Insurance I Choose To Take Vitamins 
      Paying for a doctor's visit these days, even if it's only the co-pay is no small sum.  It's better in my opinion to do whatever you can to stay well, and avoid that expense.   

      So, to make a long story short, I choose to take a multivitamin daily for extra insurance in getting the nutrients I need.  I appreciate a vitamin when I can feel the results.  A good vitamin should be easy for the body to absorb, otherwise what's the point?  Expensive urine.



      Hypercet Omega 3-6-9 is a combination of well-known nutritional oils provides a  unique balance of Omega-3 and Omega-6 Essential Fatty Acids plus Omega-9, a non-essential, but beneficial fatty acid.  

      The Omega-3's, Alpha Linolenic Acid, EPA and DHA, and the Omega-6, GLA, are necessary for the maintenance of cardiovascular, nervous system and skin health.  Oleic Acid, and Omega-9, has also been shown to promote a healthy vascular system.  To learn more Click Above.

      Frugal Home Economics
      Animated Lady CookingJust like we batch our mending of socks, whatever, it also makes good economic sense to batch our cooking.  


      It's frugal to cook for more than one meal.  Take a day or a few hours and cook for the freezer or simply double a recipe .  I freeze in freezer ware that goes from the freezer to oven to plate.  

      Also, if I am going to use the leftovers from a meal the very next day,  I don't bother to freeze.  It depends on what it is.  But, in the majority of cases I cover and refrigerate the whole pot and I make sure I take out to reheat the next day.  It works for me.  

      I use a refrigerator thermometer to make sure my fridge temperature matches the setting. The secret to not having to run out for takeout is pre-planning.  

      It's wonderful to have meals ready to go in the freezer.  A freezer in my opinion is a must have for any frugal kitchen with a mindset to eat healthy and save as much as possible.


      Hungarian Onion Salad Recipe
      A neighbor passed this very simple and inexpensive recipe to me years ago.  I have enjoyed it for years, and now will share it with you.  It is so delicious, and after the first taste you will probably fall in love.  

      It does double duty in that it's very easy on the budget.  It cost maybe 25 cents a serving if that much.  I have this salad at least once a week.  Sometimes a simple dish like this one can compete with a recipe that is a lot more complicated.  

      I kid you not, you will absolutely love this salad, provided you love onions. This Hungarian onion salad starts out with 2 large yellow onions.  I have substituted my favorite purple onion with good results.  

      Anyway, you peel, slice, then toss them together with mayonnaise, salt, and pepper to taste.  That's it.  Chill before serving, and serve as a side.  Even if you are not into food preparation you might want to give this  one a try.  Prep time 10 minutes.  

      Perhaps like you, at first, I wasn't sure I wanted to try this salad.  However I am a salad person.  Today I can't imagine my week without it.  I love my onions.  Oh, by the way, I offer recipes on eBay.  Some are prize winners.

      The Frugal Chic Are Not Cheap!
      Animated Stretching Dollar
      We just know how to stretch a dollar.  I am not what you would call tight.  I just like to spend smart.  I like to stretch my budget dollars to their maximum potential.  

      For instance, I love to use paper towels.  I am all about being green, however there are instances where only a paper towel will do.  I have cut down my consumption to one roll per month.  Maybe someday I can stretch that roll into two months.  

      I do however supplement using dish towels.  I put them in their own little hamper, and wash them separately from the other wash.  I just don't have that much faith in washing powder, I'm sorry.  

      I purchase good quality towels, and can sometimes find them at garage sales.  Some people say that they wash their small dish towels that they use to clean off counter tops on the top shelf of their dishwasher with the dishes with good results.  This is new to me.  

      It probably is better sanitizing your dish towels on the top rack versus only a hot water rinse at the kitchen sink.  For me I do need to do a regular wash in the washer at least once a month. 

      A dish towel, especially a damp one can harbor a lot of bacteria.  We have to be very careful to keep everything clean in our food preparation area.  

      I haven't tried it, but I think I will.  Whatever you use in the kitchen needs to be clean to keep food safe.  As I said before dish towels, and cleaning rags can harbor a lot of bacteria.  There are many reasons that I feel better just using a paper towel.  

      I have been known to use clean rags for one time use only.  I always use hot water when I wash my kitchen towels.   Keeping them dry helps too.  

      I am always on the lookout for ways to help my dollars go further that is a good fit for me.  Using paper towels has a place in my frugal kitchen.


      Grocery Salvage Outlets Exist 
      You may not have heard of grocery salvage outlets.  This was new to me too.  I was recently introduced to grocery salvage outlets as a great way to stretch a food budget.  I went to two or three and saved a great deal of money. 

      You do have to be careful in what you are comfortable in buying.  They had some juices that were beginning to separate.  They might have been OK but I was not comfortable in buying them.  They carry merchandise that has not sold at a traditional supermarket, but is still suitable or sale. 

      Be sure to check out the expiration dates yourself, and whatever you feel comfortable in buying.   If in doubt it is probably best to leave it.  I feel comfortable buying almost black bananas because I know where the line is. 

      I freeze these over ripe bananas and put them in smoothies.  The smart shopper is able to overlook a few superficial imperfections to save.  

      The grocery salvage outlets can usually be located in the yellow pages.  They don't advertise as much as traditional food stores.  Sometimes regular grocery stores will have a clearance bin, and also will bunch together bananas that are very ripe for a quick sale at a special price. 

      I will purchase these bananas, and freeze them to stop the ripening process.  I then pop them in smoothies for an extra creamy taste.  You too might consider taking advantage of these little deals that happen from time to time right under your nose.

      Hard Working Household Budget Stretchers                 
      My Grand-Mom's Favorite...
      Mirror and window cleaner in a spray bottle made with 1/4 cup of white vinegar placed in one quart of water.  It's a good idea to  never spray directly on a mirror. 

      If the moisture seeks to the edges and get behind the mirror's back side it could ruin the silvering which could result in dark spots.  I usually spray on a clean cleaning cloth then wipe and buff.

      Blind Frame Windows  
      I love the look of blinds.  Even if I use drapes, blinds provide that framework of completeness.  Windows in my opinion look naked without blinds.

      However, blinds can be pricey.  Check out the blinds.com image above to view their great  selection and awesome prices.
