There are a few things that are a "cannot go without" staple in a Runnin' Lean household. One of these things would have to be vinegar. There are few substances that can give you the bang for your buck that vinegar can. On top of that...it's cheap too!!! Our local big box bulk store carries it in a two jug box for around 5 bucks. These are gallon jugs mind you. Those jugs last us a long time and they can be used for sooo many things. Here are just a few examples of the worthiness of vinegar:
1. Cleaning. Toilet bowls, bathtubs, stoves, refrigerators, the list goes on and on. If it's greasy or grimy a little bit of vinegar can cut through it.
2. Weed Killer. Pour a little vinegar on those unwanted little buggers and watch them disappear but quick.
3. Pickling. One of my favorites! The sky is the limit here. Have more fresh veggies than you can use or care to can...pickle it with the help of your ole' buddy vinegar.
4. Ant Invasion Deterrent. Simply wash your countertops, cabinets, and floors with vinegar to keep the ants away.
5. Laundry Freshener. Add a little vinegar to the rinse cycle when washing something extra smelly (dog bed, gym clothes, etc). The stink will wash right out.
In fact, vinegar is good for so many things there's a good chance that you will replace a number of the items that are both cluttering your cabinets and emptying your wallet. That makes vinegar very sweet indeed in my book;)
