Household Coupons that can save you even more money!


Here at coupon-smart, not only are we trying to help the average person save money on there everyday purchases, but we want people to learn that the everyday products you do use can have multiple uses in the Household Coupons that can save you even more money! Here are a couple of my favorite, inexpensive items that I keep in my home that help me save money and save space with needing fewer products on my shelves!
Dryer Sheets
Dryer sheets are one of the best multi-use household items available. Typically used in the dryer to freshen up clothes, you can also use the sheets in your linen closet or between your bed sheets for added freshness that spreads throughout your home.
Dryer sheets also hold a compound in them that make them repel static. Use the dryer sheets to tame dry hair, to dust your home, and even pick up pet hairs stuck to the floor or your clothes from static.
Dryer sheets are also a really nifty way to keep pests away during the summer!  There is a chemical within the sheets that bugs and bees aren’t too fond of, so use them to wipe on your skin before you go sit on the patio or place in the seats of your patio furniture to keep the bugs away. Some people even swear that these inexpensive multi use sheets can repel mice and even deer from coming near your cottage or home.

Baby Wipes
I don’t have children yet, but I’ve got baby wipes and I use them everyday. These wipes can be purchased at local dollar stores in small travel size containers for those of you who don’t really believe that there are a million uses for them! I use baby wipes to remove my make up everyday, their tough on heavy makeup like mascaras and lipsticks. Many brands of Household Coupons wipes even have aloe in them so they don’t hurt my skin, and leave it feeling soft even after a long day of work.
Baby wipes with aloe are great for taking to the beach. They freshen up the skin and also give the skin moisture that it lost during a  day of fun and sun in the beach.

Coffee Filters
I first came into contact with unconventional uses of coffee filters when I was working at a local coffee shop as a teen. Instead of using heavier more expensive paper towels while cleaning glass surfaces or windows within the store, we were instructed to use coffee filters with cleaning products. The coffee filter has fewer fibers so they wont stick to the surface of the window or mirror and leave it shiny! This is a great tip about the target coupons because paper towels can become pricey and coffee filters are super inexpensive.
Coffee filters are not just for coffee; you can filter and reuse oil from frying or strain homemade soups. The filters are great absorbents too; they work well with removing excess oil from bacon or French fries, or in your cast iron pans after cooking.

Petroleum Jelly
This is another inexpensive product that everyone has in their home, most likely because it doesn’t go bad so there is no real reason to throw it out, just need to find more amazing uses for it. Aside from the dozens of beauty tricks you can use petroleum jelly for, you can also use it as a lubricant. Fix those hard to open cabinets or windows with a little petroleum jelly, or stop the squeaking of a door hinge. Petroleum jelly can also rejuvenate your leather sofa! Petroleum jelly is safe to use as a cleaner and a hydrator to make that sofa looking brand new!
