When a new President and his family move into the White House?

Q. Do they throw out the old bedding, towels, etc. Or is it like a hotel, and they wash and re-use them? What about the mattress' and the kids furniture. How much redecorating can they do to personalize their space, especially the space for the kids?

A. Hmmmmm.

Dunno about bedding and towels.

I doubt they replace the matresses every time, but who knows?

I bet the White House web site talks about this somewhere -- did you look there?

The White House usually gets some redecorating, color changes (inside, obviously) and probably some new furniture with each new administration.

But check the site; I'd be surprised if they don't mention this there.

Looking for materials for interior designing and Chiasso coupon or deals on them?
Q. I am in the process of revamping the interior of my house and am looking for cheap flooring materials as well as various furniture, such as office furniture and kids furniture. Of course, not to mention, matching rugs, vases, planters, etc. Please suggest sites where I can get this for less!

A. Chiasso coupons or offers that are going on :
âRefer a Friend, save $25â, âGreat Savings at Chiasso Sales Centerâ âInspired Design for Homeâ etc.

You can access this at http://www.couponscave.com/go/stores/chiasso-coupons/

Let me know if that works, or else, I can suggest a few other sites and offers.

What's your best money saving tips?
Q. As a SAHM and just in general a frugal person, I am always looking for tips to save money. I will share a few of mine too. Here are my favorite money saving tips

Use a crock pot, it takes less money to run than your oves, saves tons of time, food turns out great, and it doesn't heat the house.

Use a Toaster oven. When I'm not cooking in the crock pot I'm cooking in my toaster oven. I bought one big enough to bake pies, bread, cake in square cake pan, cookies, chicken, steaks, etc..... I bought a regular toaster for making toast. I feel making toast in a large toaster oven is a waste of electricity.

Buy used when possible. I bought my sons loft bed for $150 the same exact bed sales for $1000 at our local kids furniture store. I bought his power wheels 2 seater jeep for $30. and I bought a Quadra Fire gas insert for $250, we were looking at the same one at a local store for $2500. These are just a few bargains I have found.

A. So many tips, so little room! I save plastic bowls from cottage cheese, yogurt, cream cheese, etc. They are great for organizing small items like nails and screws, or can be used when painting. Same for coffee cans. I save my daily newspapers and then wet them and roll into logs that I use in my fireplace in the winter. Freecycle is another great thing! I also clean and reuse plastic water bottles. I save my large plastic bottles for my greenhouse though. I will fill them with water, paint them with black spray paint and use them as a heat sink when the weather gets cold and my greenhouse needs warmth. When it warms up and the bottles are not needed, I use the water from the bottles to water my plants. Right now, I'm saving the caps from beer bottles to make a cool art project outside! It's my sister's idea! I mostly shop at thrift stores or consignment stores for clothing, and yes, I do hang my clothes outside on a clothesline!
