If you want to save money on your favorite organic or natural products but can't find any coupons, why not ask for the coupons instead? Click the "Like" button on the company's Facebook page or follow it on Twitter; companies often release coupons to insiders to save money on their products. You can also post messages on your favorite company's wall or send it complimentary emails and often it'll thank you with coupons, too.

Toss some used, fresh lemons into a vase the next time you make a flower arrangement. The acid from the lemons will help kill bacteria and keep the water in the vase fresher, longer. It will also help feed the flowers vitamin C, which will also help them stay fresh, too.

One easy way to recycle lots of leftover paint in a myriad of colors is to simply mix them all together into one, solid color of chalkboard paint. Make sure all the paint is water-based latex (most are these days) and in usable condition. Pour them all into one large bucket and stir until completely blended. Then add a few tablespoons of powdered grout (from the hardware store) and mix again. Voila! Instant chalkboard paint to use anywhere you want.
