STOP THAT ITCH!

I hate chiggers!!! I have avoided those little devils all summer until a week ago. Apparently a few hitch-hiked on my socks and made their way to my ankles. I used everything I could think of to stop the itch and then I saw this idea somewhere (can't remember, that's happening a lot lately) and thought why not try it!

And what was this new anti-itch miracle? TOOTHPASTE! You read this right; Toothpaste! I rubbed a little dot of my toothpaste on the itch and it stopped immediately. After a few hours it would wear off but when I reapplied it, the itch stopped. This was amazing!

I haven't tried it for mosquito bites or other itches, but it worked on those flesh eating critters called chiggers!
What are some of your best remedies for itch?

Blessings,
Grandma B

SAVING - YOU CAN DO IT!

Saving money is hard for many of you. You want to but you barely make ends meet now! Here is a quick tip to help you. When you cash your check take a few dollars out for savings before you leave the bank. Put it away! Not in your wallet! You will find you don't even miss it. Even a few dollars a week will begin to add up over time.

Another fun way to save is to have a "My" jar. For me it was a secret place that only I knew about. I would add a dollar or more every now and then and I'd have $20 or $30 before I knew it. When you have enough, open a savings account and don't touch it. Turn it into a game and savings can become fun!
