We have been using cloth napkins...All great ideas. We have been using cloth napkins most of our married life and not only do they save money but they add elegance to the table. <br /><br />I too have had success calling companies about differnt things and getting replacements or repairs for free instead of having to buy new. Sometimes it takes a bit of a fight but you can gauge if it is worth it. Our pool got a hole in the liner. A little arguing with the company saved us over $300.<br /><br />Also, we grow a square foot garden and can the extra through the summer. We eat primarily from our garden all summer and many of our veggies come from the pantry in the winter. Plus, it is so great to be outdoors together as a family doing something constructive.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214169887240603175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4791688654948426375.post-20756232668665544012009-05-06T12:29:00.000-07:002009-05-06T12:29:00.000-07:00We only use cloth napkins to eat with and old hand...We only use cloth napkins to eat with and old hand towels to clean up messes- it saves us SO much money because we go through paper napkins and paper towels really fast!CandiceMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17994258576107620249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4791688654948426375.post-35999747738107244512009-05-06T11:55:00.000-07:002009-05-06T11:55:00.000-07:00Great tips!Great tips!Julie Bagamaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07923579280215441076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4791688654948426375.post-85230758228276143582009-05-06T10:39:00.000-07:002009-05-06T10:39:00.000-07:00Great tips!

That said, some items that say dry clean only can be washed in your washer on the delicate cycle with no problems. I've done this for years and saved lots of money.Buffiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07660856678001890152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4791688654948426375.post-85652742301724182862009-05-06T06:26:00.000-07:002009-05-06T06:26:00.000-07:00These are great tips!
