Counting Pennies

There are a few household products that I never buy because the natural alternative is not only cheaper but also more effective than the chemical option. A clear example is a cleaner for the kitchen disposal. I would never waste $10 on a special cleaner that promises to clean disposal blades. Instead, I squeeze a lemon, keep the remaining lemon shell and put it down the drain, letting it grind. The acidity works wonders naturally cleaning the blades and emitting a fresh wholesome natural lemon smell that spruces up the house! It is simple, cheap and effective. 

Another product that I don’t buy is glass cleaner. Alcohol works much better. I know some people use vinegar as a cleaning product, but I hate the smell. If you can live with it, then it can work as a great substitute for floor cleaner, surface de-greaser and even impromptu softener.
