Homemade multi-purpose cleaning wipes!

Hello everyone,

So those who know me personally know I am a clean freak, I have been addicted to lysol wipes since the first time i used them. BUT I am also cheap, and since lysol wipe coupons don't come around to often, I make my own!! It doesn't hardly cost a thing, and they work JUST as good...plus they smell good too.




First you start off with a roll of paper towels
Cut it in half!!
Youll need a container with a lid tall enough to hold them
(this came in a IKEA set my mom got me a few years ago)
(thanks ma)
SIDE NOTE you'll need to cut a large X in the lid to pull the wipes through so make sure its not super thick plastic!
You will also need some sort of cleaning solution,
I use this Mr.clean one because it smells awesome and his name is MR.CLEAN obviously its a good cleaner =)


Put the paper towels into the container
pour cleaning solution slowly all around 
seriously all around get all the towels wet

then carefully pull out the cardboard part in the center of the towels
It helps if the roll is wet too! 
Cut it do whatever you gotta do to get it out.
BUT DO IT EASILY! 



then pull the towel closest to the middle out
put the lid on and lead it through the X hole you cut!


Sometimes they get a little dried out so i just add a bit more solution to them

One bottle of solution has lasted me over 4 times
and a thing of wipes lasts about a 2 weeks!

YOU NEED-
1 roll of paper towels (.30c-free with coupons)
1 container (tall enough for 1/2 roll of paper towels) 
1 bottle of cleaning solution (2.00 or less with coupons) 

So it works out to be about .65c a container!! Way better than $2.00+!!

A look inside my coupon binder

Okay so,

Im going to put up some pictures of my personal binder since i've had a lot of questions about the best way to organize. Of course everyone is different so this is just how I do it to make it the easiest for me! 

First off, I have a 1' binder nothing super crazy it fits right in my bag 
(since i have kids I have a big bag lol) 

2nd I did a color key for my tabs since I have multiple sets and they repeat colors
(like I said in my couponing basic post I organize by the isles of the store I shop most)


3rd I keep my rewards cards, extensive stock up price list & extra envelopes in my binder
(you can never be too prepared) 


4th tabs, use as many or as little as you want

5th binder inserts *most important* 
I use baseball card ones I bought on amazon they were like $6 for $20 of them
They have ones actually made for coupons but they were more than I wanted to pay at the moment so I just fold mine when needed




6th Coupon policies!! I always have these with me since some employees like to make up their own rules when it comes to coupons, you just pull out one of these and make them look stupid. If you coupon, you will come across a time when you need these I promise

And lastly my most bought item's stock up list. I forget all the time what I like to pay for things, so to save myself from overpaying or missing out on an awesome deal because my brains going 100 different directions, I keep this. It is my life saver!


I also always have a small calculator and an extra pen =)
