Loved this idea on Pinterest from Full of Great Ideas to refill bath & body works foaming soaps with a little of the matching shower gel to save lots of $$$. I tried it out this week, since they are having their buy 3, get 3 free sale on the shower gels.

It totally worked, and it looks like I’ll get about 4 refills out of each shower gel, so that worked out to about .89 a refill for me with the coupon. Whoohoo! Love the white citrus for the bathroom.

Here’s the math:

6 shower gels (buy 3 @ 10.50 each, get 3 free) 31.50

-$10 off $30 coupon = $21.50

divided by 6 gels = $3.58 each/4 refills = .89 per refill

First of all, I need to say thank you for your lovely, heartfelt (and some funny!) comments on yesterday’s post. I’ve read and appreciated every one and you have me thinking in a whole new way and I’m more excited than ever for this holiday season.

Now, we need to get down to business with the kitchen and the list I made. We’re tackling the door first!

Why do they make the grids yellow on these doors? I was looking at it and thinking of how I could just pop the grid off and spray paint it, but then I remembered Sarah’s debacle (you have to read it..she is so funny!) 

and decided to go for the taping it off and painting it with a regular old brush. A tip for the taping off~you need two sizes for the tops and bottoms of the rectangles, so just leave them on your counter so you know what size to cut them all to.
