Green Lawn Formula

I found this recipe back in 2004, and you can go HERE to find the original and read more details, but if your lawn is struggling in the summer heat, this concoction can help.

1 Can Regular Soda (any kind - no diet)
1 Can Beer (not light beer)
1/2 C. Liquid Dishwashing Soap (do NOT use anti-bacterial dishwashing liquid)
1/2 C. Household Ammonia
1/2 C. Mouthwash (any brand)

Pour all of the ingredients into a 10-gallon hose-end sprayer (other sizes will work too).
In high heat, apply every three weeks.

Weed Killer Recipe

A quick and easy recipe for weed killer...

1 T. Dishwashing liquid
1/4 c. Salt
1 qt. Vinegar

I usually mix this up a day before I plan on using it.  The salt seems to dissolve better if I mix it up early.  I also find that it works best if I spray the weeds early in the morning so the sun has all day to shine on them.

Unreal Candy

A couple of months ago I joined BzzAgent.  Recently I was selected for the Unreal Candy campaign.  As part of the campaign I got a coupon for free candy (1.3 oz. to 1.7 oz.).  I also got some Buy 1 Get 1 Free coupons to share.  I love chocolate, so I have been curious to try this candy.  Candy with no artificials, and no corn syrup, plus additional fiber and protein sounds too good to be true.

Today we made a stop at CVS to pick up a few.  We decided on Unreal41 (candy coated chocolates), Unreal5 (chocolate caramel nougat bar), and Unreal8 (chocolate caramel peanut nougat bar). 

Once we got home, I shared the candy with my daughter and my husband.  My daughter, an M&M lover, really enjoyed the Unreal41.  My husband and I tried them too, but didn’t think they tasted very chocolaty.  My husband and I each split the Unreal5 and Unreal8.  I thought both of them were actually very good.  My single complaint is that the caramel was too subtle.  While I could see the caramel, I really couldn’t taste it very much.  I was very happy that it didn’t leave any type of odd aftertaste.  Overall, it was a great experience.

Today's Free Items - Monday 9/3

I made a quick trip to Fry's since my Dial coupons expire at the end of the week.  I managed to get 2 packages of Seafood Snackers (using mfg. coupons) and 3 bottles of Dial hand soap (using mfg. coupons combined with their sale).  Mustard was supposed to be $1 and I had a coupon to cover it, but it rang up at $2.18, making it far from free!

While I was out, I stopped at CVS to pick up some Unreal Candy to try for a BzzAgent Campaign.
