ELEPHANT AUTO INSURANCE

ELEPHANT AUTO INSURANCE

 

   Have you seen the commercial for Elephant auto insurance?  It begins with a statement from the 

elephant that, "When I founded Elephant Auto Insurance, I had one thing in mind....the customer."  Really?  Why would anyone buy that statement from a guy dressed in an elephant suit?  If you aren't proud enough of yourself to, at the very least, show your potential customers who you are, why in the world would anyone believe anything in the commercial?  "Stupid is as Stupid does."  

   That is all I'm saying.  We have enough fictitious garbage going on in D.C., we don't need that pile of crap when it comes to buying auto insurance.

DO IT YOURSELF LAUNDRY SOAP

DO IT YOURSELF LAUNDRY SOAP

   Not everyone who reads my blog lives in the Houston area, so I thought I would share a link to the local ABC news channel where they were giving the recipe for homemade laundry soap and homemade dish soap:      URL:  http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=news/consumer&id=9434730   title:  Save on laundry, dishes with homemade detergent.        They even include a video.

Here is their recipe for the laundry soap, but they also show you how to make dish washing machine soap:

Homemade Laundry Detergent
Ingredients:

• 1 box (3 lbs. 7 oz.) of super washing soda
• 1 box (4 lbs. 12 oz.) of Borax
• 1 box (4 lbs.) of pure baking soda
• 3 bars of ivory soap
• 1 container (1.3 lbs.) of Oxy Clean or generic store brand
• Purex crystals (28 oz.) for scent (or you could use Downy Unstoppables)

Instructions:

1. Finely grate the ivory soap.
2. Mix all ingredients together and store in the container of your choice.
3. When you're ready to do laundry, use 1-2 tablespoons per load.

Price:

• 4 lbs baking soda - $3.18
• Washing Soda $5.98
• Borax - $4.79
• Purex - $3.99
• Store Brand Oxy Clean - $3.79

Total $21.73 / 504 washes = $.04 vs. Tide Tablets $12.99 / 38 loads = $.34
