What Goes on Sale and What to Buy on Clearance in April

on
After really reading the grocery store sales fliers on line instead of just skimming them, I started to notice seasonal sales patterns, especially around holidays,  especially industry holidays like Earth Day. When I shop seasonally,  I’m able to keep my family in fresh fruit and vegetables for less when nothing is growing locally yet.  Shopping the April seasonal store sales doesn’t just apply to food. Many household items only go on sale in April too. It is a good time to start looking for that perfect Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or Graduation gift because the prices will be higher on those items in May and June. If you are a thrift or consignment sale shopper, April is the time to hit the stores! Thrift store donations increase in April when people start their Spring cleaning. For extra savings, pair the sale with a coupon from my  printable online coupon database  (affiliate link) because money saving coupons often follow national sales cycles too! April Seasonal

How to Make Eyeglass Cleaning Spray!

on

Ever since I first started wearing glasses as a kid, I cleaned them every morning by wetting the lenses and carefully cleaning them with a little bit of dish washing liquid on my fingers. I’d pat the lenses dry with a towel for a clean and clear view of the day before me.

It wasn’t until I got a new optometrist as an adult that I was introduced to the magic of lens cleaning spray. Paired with the microfiber lens cleaning cloth that also came with my glasses, I can easily slip everything into my purse and clean my glasses on the go for streak free viewing morning, noon, and night.

Mind. Blown.

(It’s the simple things, I know.)

My optometrist gives me free lens cleaning fluid refills but of course, I ran out and couldn’t make it down to his shop in time for an out of town trip. Turns out lens cleaning spray is very, very, very easy and inexpensive to make. In fact, you might already have everything you need to make cleaning fluid for glasses at home!

DIY Lens Cleaning Spray

You will need the following ingredients:

Rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol- you can buy 70% isopropyl alcohol here. This is the same strength you’d find sold with first aid supplies

Water

Spray bottle- I several of these 2oz spray bottles filled with lens cleaning fluid so I can keep one in my purse, my desk drawer, and medicine cabinet

Optional but recommended: a microfiber eye glass cleaning cloth like this one

How to Make Lens Cleaning Fluid the Easy Way!

 

1. Pour three parts rubbing alcohol into the empty spray bottle.

2. Add one part water to the spray bottle, screw on the top, and give the bottle a little shake to mix the ingredients.

3. You’re done. That’s it. Really.

Since the rubbing alcohol quickly evaporates after cleaning your glasses with the microfiber cloth, you can also use my lens fluid spray recipe to clean camera lenses and smart phone and tablet touch screens.
