What to shop for on sale in August

Household tip-storing celery and lettuce
Store celery and lettuce in the refrigerator in paper bags instead of plastic. Leave the outside leaves and stalks on until ready to use.
Money Saving Tip
Take your lunch to work one or more day a week than you do now.
Removing coffee stains from fabric
For fresh spills, mix an egg yolk with 2 tablespoons of warm water, and rub this mixture into the coffee stain with a sponge. If the stain has set, add a few drops of rubbing alcohol to the egg and water.
Money saving tip-Pass on extended warranties
Pass on extended warranties. A $39 two year extension on a $300 product is just not worth it. Warranties are insurance, and we rarely need to insure such a small amount.
