Lately, no matter what I look at, it looks expensive to me. Food, clothes, utilities, you name it. I know it's not just my imagination that the cost of things are going up, especially in the food department, but I can usually overlook it at the grocery store by just not buying certain things. As an example, I refuse to pay over $1.29 for an avocado. I just can't do it.
A couple months ago my husband sent me an article titled 'That's pricey: 13 items that cost more, or will soon'. They talk about gas, airfare, furniture (?!), fast food (oh. darn.), FLIPPIN' CHOCOLATE!!! I guess expensive chocolate is good motivation for me to NOT buy it, but I still like having the option...
One of the items on that list is household products. Now that's interesting, isn't it? *wink wink* According to the article,
'Diapers, soap, toilet paper, toothpaste, trash bags and many other everyday items all have been targeted for price hikes as companies from Kimberly-Clark to Procter & Gamble to Colgate-Palmolive respond to rising ingredient costs'

Well that sucks. I doubt I am the only one feeling the repercussions of rising costs, but I can happily say that the rising cost of cleaning products will NOT affect me. Don't fall victim to this baloney! If you've read my blog before, I make it pretty well known that I love Shaklee products. I usually go on talking about how wonderful and green and safe they are, but have I mentioned how much money they save me? I know some of you don't give a rats ass how green they are...if I had a dime for every time I heard 'I just love my bleach, I'll never give it up!'...well, you know the rest.
I just got the sale papers for a couple grocery stores,and one has Windex on sale 2/$5. That's a 26 oz bottle for $2.50, for the record.
When I mix up a bottle of Shaklee H2 windows and mirrors cleaner it costs me less than 1 cent. Yes, less than $.01 for a 16 oz bottle. Hmmm...2 cents (for 32 oz, not 26!) vs. $2.50 for 26 oz? Not a hard choice. Suck on that, Windex.
Before I was enlightened I bought Fantastic and Clorox Clean-Up, at about $2.39 a bottle. Then when I greened up I was buying Seventh Generation for $4.79 or even GreenWorks (which is total greenwashing, I now know) for about $2.50. These days, when I mix up the equivalent Shaklee H2 all-purpose cleaner it costs me .22 cents...a gallon. If I was better at math I would figure out how much that is per bottle, but I really stink at it. Feel free to jump in, math people.
I've got more, of course I do. But I will not go on and on because I don't think it's necessary. You want to save money where ever you can, and so do I. This is one of the things I do that saves A LOT. Total bonus...you don't have to walk down the cleaning product or laundry aisle at the grocery store...it stinks so bad! I walk through there once in a great while, and every time I do I sneeze from all the perfumes and chemicals. Yuck! But, that's a whole other blog...
Did I also mention that you can use H2 on anything that can get wet? Ask yourself a question: Does this sound like you? 'But ohhh, waaahhh, I need a different cleaner for my kitchen and waaahhhh what am I supposed to use in the bathroom or on the floooooor?'. H2 gets used on everything. It dusts furniture, removes soap scum, cleans kitchen counters, mops floors, washes dogs, washes children, degreases grease, de-pests plants, de-wrinkles clothes, deters mosquitoes on you and fleas from your pets, etc etc. You can clean anything with this stuff, and throw your dirty water outside and it will make your grass greener and your roses rosier. I even shoot fruit flies right out of the air with it, and don't tell me that doesn't sound like fun. Drink it, bathe in it, do what you gotta do...just don't forget to tell your friends about it.
And to answer your next question, yes it works. You couldn't put 'Always Works' in your motto if it didn't always work. That's false advertising, and the green folks at Shaklee look down their squeaky clean noses at stuff like that.
So here it is, folks. The solution to saving money with cheaper cleaners is at your fingertips. All the cleaning products in the Get Clean line are concentrated out the wazoo. You use less, you spend less, you save money and you can buy more shoes. Want tobuy more shoes save money? Start here. Come to the Light Side. Do it now!!!

'The Consumer Price Index has climbed 2.7% in the
past 12 months, according to government statistics released Friday.
That’s the largest rise since 2009. Price increases will continue in the months ahead...'
