Do Just One Thing

Want to save money on all-natural and organic groceries where you shop? The secret has been there all along: coupons. As healthy food becomes more mainstream, national brands and supermarkets offer coupons through a variety of sources. Check the paper circulars in newspapers or at the entrance to the store. Check the store’s mobile app for digital coupons offering steep discounts on your favorite things. And even shopper saver cards can help you combine savings with coupons to get the best prices on organic treats and eats.

Lemons have myriad uses around the house beyond just cooking. You can use them for an instant beauty treatment by simply digging your clean, unpolished fingernails into the lemon; its natural antibacterial and whitening properties will help make your nails look cleaner and healthier. Rubbing a cut lemon over cutting boards helps disinfect and remove stains at the same time, too. When you’re done, toss the used lemons into your garbage disposal with ice and turn on your disposal (with the faucet running) to freshen it.

A mattress can be a pricey investment, so naturally you’ll want to maintain the quality and lifespan of yours. One very simple way to increase the longevity of your mattress is to rotate it on a regular basis so that the entire surface area wears out evenly. Doing this helps prevent indentations that cause the bed to be lumpy or have that “caved-in” feel. One trick to help you remember when to rotate: Whenever you change the clocks to spring forward or fall back, also turn your mattress.
