Save on dishwashing soap with a dispenser

I got my regular Bed, Bath, and Beyond $5 off coupon in the mail today and went to toss it. I never go in there because it usually costs me more to go than to stay at home. But lately I have been wanting a cute little soap dispenser for the kitchen. You know one of those that sit on your counter that looks like you should have oil in it and looks adorable but only lets out a little bit of soap at a time. I used to think that they were a pain in the butt because they are so slow. Then it dawned on me, no pun intended, that I was the one that was slow. The soap dispenser forces you to use less than you would normally use. In reality, we use too much soap anyway. We could stretch our dishwashing soap much longer if we used less.

You know what I am talking about. How many times have you needed just a drop on your sponge or dishrag to clean something and your bottle gave you enough to wash 5 dishes with? It happens to me a lot. But with the soap dispenser, you get just what you want and save on soap in the end. So that is what I am going to use my coupon for this time. I love going shopping!

Today I was reading some posts at Cooking Gadgets. Arieanna has a post showing the top 10 gifts for bakers. I saw some items that I’d never seen before, including a pan for brownie edge lovers. (By the way, I like the middle.)

If you’re looking for a new idea for someone on your Christmas list or if you’re buying for a baker, then you should check out her top 10.

Everyone knows that cooking at home is the cheapest way to budget your money when it comes to eating. But don’t you sometimes get tired of cooking the same things day in and day out? Well, I have found a gold mine of frugal deals on new kitchen ware. Still not convinced that it is for the frugal at heart? Check out the Frugal Kitchen’s blog. Their frugal kitchen finds is a fabulous group of deals that can inspire you to make a Christmas list. That way, you can save money and let others allow you to experiment in the kitchen at the same time. Sounds like a win-win situation to me.

For instance, they found that the KitchenAid Roaster is on sale at Macy’s for $30. Take a look around and see what else you can find. Good luck and send me some samples of the experiments J
