I've since spent hours trying to put to use what I learned, but I don't see that I'll save much money, since we don't buy many brand names. What are your thoughts on extreme couponing versus buying store brands? -- Debbie, Mississippi Dear Debbie: Serious couponing requires that you hold coupons until the items go on sale at a store that doubles the value of manufacturer coupons. When you can manage such a triple whammy (sale plus coupon plus doubling), you'll have such a rock bottom price, it will nearly always beat the store-brand- ed version. But pulling that off con- sistently requires a lot of work, almost like having a part-time job. Some people enjoy that work, and they're rewarded well for their effort. If you know where to look, you'll find coupons for everything you can imagine -- even produce, dairy and meat. My advice is that if you are going to do it, do it well. Coupon- ing done haphazardly and without any kind of organization, discipline and patience is likely to end up costing you more in time, money and frustration. Dear Mary: I have a handmade baptismal gown worn by my father-in-law in 1905. Over the years, it's yellowed. There are yards of lace and even an undergar- ment with lace inserts. I would like to clean it up so it can be displayed at my church with other bap- tism garments. If you have any hints on how best to handle this, I would be most grateful. - - Margaret, email Dear Margaret: Fill your sink with the hottest water you believe this garment can handle, into which you've added 1/4 cup baking soda, 1/4 cup laundry detergent and 1/4 cup Cascade auto- matic dishwasher pow- der. Once dissolved, add the gar- ment and allow it to soak overnight. In the morning drain the sink and rinse the garment very well in clear, cool water. Squeeze out as much water as possible and then allow it to air dry. This "stain recipe" should bring it back to white without caus- ing damage. Dear Mary: I would love to cut my own hair. Even if I goof it up the first time or two, that's OK since it's short and it will grow back. I am so tired of paying for a haircut every month. I would much rather put the money into my IRA. How do I find out how to cut my own hair? -- Susan, email Dear Susan: You are a Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate brave woman. I have never done this myself, but know of a few people who do, and with great success. There is a plethora of ama- teur videos on You Tube (YouTube.com) you can watch. Search "how to cut your own hair." You can find books on the subject, as well. I believe I speak for everyone reading this that we'd love to see your "before and after" photos once you perfect this cost- saving technique. I'll post them online for all to see and admire!
