Even if you don’t have a cat, you should have some kitty litter in your trunk. Why? Because it can be used to build traction on ice and snow during the winter months.

If you fill a sock with kitty litter and keep it on your dashboard, it will keep your windshield from fogging up.

Yes, really.


Command Hooks

If you need a place to keep your purse, bag, or mask without your stuff going everywhere, simply attach a command hook at floor level. That keeps everything you need accessible, neat, and tidy.


Windex Those Windshield Wipers

If you’ve been procrastinating changing out your windshield wipers, “soak a clean white rag with your favorite glass cleaner. Wipe the rag up and down the length of your wiper blades. You’ll see the results on the rag, and you’ll see out your windshield much better in the rain.”


Paper Towels

Attach a toll of paper towels to the roof of your trunk with a small bungee cord. That way, you always have available paper towels for your trunk, but they won’t roll around ir get crushed while you’re driving.



DIY Car Mats

If you want to keep the floor under the passenger and backseats clean, custom-cut scraps of old carpet to fit on the floor as DIY mats. That way you keep the car clean, and when they get dirty you can simply toss them out.


Vinegar on the Windshield

If you want to keep your windshield from icing over at night, fill a spray bottle with three parts vinegar and one part water. Spray the mixture evenly on your car window, and acid in the vinegar will prevent freezing.

Nina, GA

• "I just found this site today from a link off of another site I was visiting- I love the wide variety of offers there are and tidbits to learn!! What a great site!"
Shawn, MN

• I am so glad I found http://www.stretchthatdollar.com/.
I love http://www.stretchthatdollar.com/ because it is someone sharing their knowledge of savings and freebies in a day when so little people want to share anything.
The grocery bag deals are rarely for any of the stores in my area, but I pass the information on to others, that also clip q-pons and do their best to live frugally.
I do make sure I check the sunday coupons against the grocery deals that are posted, just to be sure I didnt miss something of interest on my own. (I have been known to miss a few...LOL)
I have saved so much by ordering items from the hot deals of the day too. Toys for my son and grandson . A clock for my father, that was made by a company that he has been searching for, since last fall. He loved it so much he ordered another one for his girlfriend.
Being a stay at home mom, after being the major bread winner in our family, our income has decreased by 2/3! http://www.stretchthatdollar.com has made stretching our very meager budget so much easier.
So...Thank you for all that you do, it is greatly appreciated.
Brenda Thompson, OH

• I found you months ago, from another website post. You find deals for me that I would otherwise miss out on.Thank you doesn't say enough.
Barb, CA

• I can find what I need by coming to your site and it's my favorite and usually the only one I visit for the best deals. Right now I'm looking for a deal on a hand vac. My 5 yr. old vacuumed up a bowl full of water with my last one. It no longer works, but atleast he didn't electrocute himself!
Nancy Govero, KS

Thanks Nancy... you had such a cute story.
