Kids Jello Cups

In efforts to save money on my kids' lunches; 

I'm making and stocking up again on the Jello Cups.

I mix the jello according to the package and then
 put the mixture into these 3 1/4 oz. Portion Cups

[I get the portion cups at a local store called Cash and Carry but Costco sells the 2 oz. size]. 

Out of 1 package I can get 8 cups worth.

Store bought= $2.00 + tax (for 8/Walmart pricing)

Homemade=    $0.68 + tax (for 8/ Walmart pricing)

It will add up too quick so this is a great savings. 

Plus you have the option to mix flavors if you're feeling wild and crazy!

I LOVE saving money!!!

Homemade Outdoor Window Cleaner

The DIRTY windows drives me nuts!

 Its been awhile since I attempted to clean them. 

So I found a solution to this problem: make some Window cleaner!

I have posted the recipe for you below(I got it from here):

1/2 bottle (3.5 oz) of Jet Dry

4 Tbl. Alcohol

1/4 cup Ammonia

1/4 cup powdered Dishwasher Soap (I used Walmart brand)

2 gallons HOT water

Dissolve the Dishwasher Soap into the Hot water. 

Then add the rest of the ingredients into a plastic bucket or tub. 

TO CLEAN: 

Step 1: Spray the window with the hose

Step 2: Wipe the window down with a microfiber 'mop" in the cleaning solution

Step 3: Spray with the hose again. 

Air dry. 

**TIP: I found that I had better results when I used a squeegee
to remove the excess water instead of just letting it air dry.
