Cascade with the Grease Fighting Power of Dawn Helps Families Conserve Water and Time Smart Spending Helps Families Make the Most out of Their Household
Essentials
CINCINNATI, July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In today's cash-strapped
economy, people are looking for opportunities to save time and money. Some
families are not only reconsidering gas consumption and cutting back on
certain food purchases, but they're searching for more value in the products
they purchase for their home. For example, Cascade with the Grease Fighting
Power of Dawn cleans so well there's no need to pre-wash, allowing you to help
save time and water.
Home and family expert and author of "Simplify Your Household," Tara
Aronson, shares her tips on how to get the most value out of your household
products and where it's ok to cut back:
1. Cheaper isn't always better: It's tempting to purchase products that
are on sale, but you may be doing yourself a disservice as these products may
not be the most effective and can result in double the work. Find products
that offer you great value like Cascade with the Grease Fighting Power of
Dawn, which has the trusted power of Cascade with the grease-fighting power of
Dawn. It delivers an excellent wash and cleans so well, there's no need to
prewash your dishes. A product like this helps conserve water and can save
you money in the long run.
2. Purchase a water filter rather than bottled water: Based on averages
from an American Water Works Association survey, a 24-pack of half-liter
bottles at Costco Wholesale, a bargain at $6.97, would be consumed by one
person in six days compared to a little more than 0.001 cent for a day's worth
of tap water that adds to just about 51 cents a year. If families spend their
money on a water filter they can potentially save up to $400 a year.
3. Bulk up: Buy your family's essentials - paper towels, laundry
detergent in bulk - to use less packaging and help save money at the same
time.
4. Clothes call: If the label reads "Dry Clean", not "Dry Clean Only", it
may be hand-washable. If the garment is simply constructed without lining or
delicate trim; has no sequins or beads glued to the fabric; and is not
open-weave or loosely woven, give it a try. Hand-wash only with gentle fabric
wash and follow the label instructions.
By following these simple tips and making smart decisions consumers can
save money on household essentials without breaking the bank.
