^yung LED nightlights na ginagamit namin eh hindi naman sis. slightly more than a month na namin kinareer magtipid ng kuryente kaya yun talaga gamit namin pag gabi.  Not sure lang sis sa mga light bulbs na talaga kasi yun yung balak ko bilhin next eh. muntik pa mandin nako bumili sa ensogo kanina - 300 each, 3 watts lang yung mga lightbulbs, free delivery pa within the metro. nagbago lang isip ko at sabi ko sadyain ko nalang ang ace hardware para makabili ako nung brand na tested ko na. hindi naman kasi sinabi kung ano brand yung sa ensogo.  pag nakabili ako at na try ko, bigay ako update dito. laki tipid nun ha kasi yung bulbs namin ngayon eh yung mga 20 watts yata yun -- down to 3 watts pag led -- pero pag kung magpuputukan naman eh wag nalang, maintain ko nalang yung nightlights.  pero try ko pa din. bili muna siguro ako 2 lang.

^puro led light na rn gamit namin sa house, pero one time bumili ako sa dollar store ng led light kasi nga mura and pumutok nga and since then binibili ko na yung philipps n abrand talagang tumatagal yung sa amin siguro mga 3+ yrs na di pa rin nasisira. so mas makakamura ka pag maganda ang brand.

Hi ask ko lang para saan 'yung solar panel? 'yun ba 'yung replacement for electrical energy, bali sa araw ka kukuha ng electricity? Sorry, I tried back reading pero i didn't get any clear information 'bout this.. If ever interested 'din ako... :-X

sis di rin ako knowledgeable dito eh. namention ko lang kasi parang may napanood ako before. lalagyan ng solar panels ang roof mo para mag trap ng energy from the sun tapos yun ang icoconvert na source ng electricity sa bahay ninyo. medyo pricey nga lang. nag try ako mag search sa sulit yung around 50 watts nasa 20k ata ang price. kaya nga nagtatanong tanong din ako dito if talagang substantial ang matitipid pag magpapakabit ng solar panels.

Mga sis, matagal na yung mga LED Lights namin dito. All of our lights are LED na lahat! Yun nga lang, after mga 6 months, may pumutok nang 4. Ang LED lights namin sa bahay, mga around 28 all around our house. 3 watts din sya lahat. According kay tito, nagfluctuate ata kuryente sa amin that's why pumutok. It means, lumalakas paminsan minsan ang daloy ng kuryente sa bahay...

Sis, chipipay yung sinasabi mong solar panel na worth 20K. As far as I remember, 50K, 70K, at 100K yun. Depende daw sa wattage na makukuha nya from the sun. Yung nilalagay sa bubong yon ha. Pwede ka na magbukas ng TV, electric fan, or even aircon sa makukuhang kuryente sa solar panels.

Ang gusto ko din pag-ipunan soon yung water system na kumukuha ng tubig ulan tapos i-store mo na lang. Galing ng concept. Nakita ko yun may nagshare sa FB. Kapag nakapuno ka ng isang tangke ng water, ayos! :-)

Ngayon ko lang nakita itong thread na ito at sobrang okay pala rito.  :D  I'm a housewife kaya lahat ng strategies ng pagtitipid ay sinusubukan ko.

Yung solar panels, pangarap ko rin yun.  Hindi ko pa lang afford ngayon pero gusto ko pag-ipunan.  Malaki rin ang maititipid nun sa electric bill lalo't laging nagtataas ng singil ang Meralco.  Kung interesado kayong bumili, may friend akong nagbebenta ng solar panels.  Meron din siyang LED lights na super nice quality.  Ang clients niya ngayon is mga government offices kasi sila ang may pambili, hehe.

Anyway, baka gusto niyo i-check itong website na ito: http://zerowastehome.blogspot.com.  Diyan ako kumukuha ng DIY tips at iba pang pangbawas ng basura.  Believe it or not, marami tayong pinaggagastusan na napupunta rin eventually sa basurahan.

Sa mga conscious naman sa paglilinis, try niyo mag DIY ng kitchen cleaner.  Ito ang ginagamit kong recipe:

liquid detergent (about 2 teaspoons)
eucalyptus oil (about 10 drops)
water

Mix in a spray bottle.

Ayan.  Sing effective yan ng Mr. Muscle Kitchen Cleaner pero sa mas murang halaga.  Yan na rin ginagamit ko sa paglinis ng floor tiles, tables, etc.  (Wag lang sa mga appliances, syempre.)  May kamahalan ang eucalyptus oil (nasa 80pesos yung maliit na bote) pero halos isang taon mo rin magagamit yun e.  Best friend ko ang eucalyptus oil kasi marami siyang gamit.  :)

Punuin mo lang yung 500ml na spray bottle.  Sa Mercury Drug Store ka makakabili ng eucalyptus oil.  Essence of Eucalyptus ang nakalagay sa bote, parang bote ng cough syrup itsura niya.  :)

Yung tanging chemical dun is yung manggagaling sa liquid detergent (usually dishwashing liquid gamit ko).  Naisip ko rin mag DIY ng dishwashing liquid pero I figured, hindi ko pa mapantayan yung bisa ng Joy.  ;)

Fan ako ng Mr. Muscle kasi effective talaga kaya lang kung lagi akong bibili nun e ang mahal diba, kahit pa yung refill lang.  Atsaka, kaya eucalyptus oil kasi diba may disinfectant properties siya.  Isa pa bibihira ang cleaning products na may eucalyptus scent e yun pa naman yung gusto kong amoy.

i told the helpers na pag nagsaing sila sa morning, make sure na enough na until lunchtime, anyway sila lang naman 2 ang naglala-lunch...para tipid sa kuryente

recently, i started to make a record of our expenses, savings etc, this way namomonitor namin lahat and mas controlled ang paggastos...i noticed kasi few months ago na sumosobra na gastos namin :P

we avoid using credit cards, or if ever man ginamit, we always pay in full para walang interest

2x a month lang ang grocery, we buy everything na enough to last for 2 weeks, except for the veggies and fish/seafood, we ask the helper na lang to buy these from the market, mas mura kesa sa grocery

recently magastos n naman ako ang hirap talaga magcontrol paminsan minsan, although twice lang kami maggrocery which is enough sya for 1 month.
we don't need more laws, we need implementation.

Ano pa ba save-up at pagtitipid ang pwedeng gawin mga sisses aside sa mga nasabi above? :-)

How about this Christmas?

For me, ayaw ko na bumili sa Divisoria for toys. Kasi super delikado talaga ngayon at may lead HALOS lahat ng toys dun (and consumer wise, all of them are almost made in china. Ayaw ko na.) Although may mga toys na nasa malls na may lead pa din, at least kakaunti lang, hindi ganun kadami unlike sa Divisoria.

I always buy toys now sa Toy Kingdom. Pero mapili pa din ako. I make sure na maganda ang quality.

Bumili ako ng panregalo recently sa SM Sale. May mga naka-sale ng toys. Isang bagsakan lang pagbili ko ng panregalo para:
1. Gain points for my credit card.
2. 3,000+ = 1 GC. May promo kasi BDO ngayon, if naka-3K ka, may 100 pesos GC. E usually, kapag bumibili ako ng mga toys panregalo sa mga inaanak at bata, umaabot ng mahigit 3K. Kaya ayun, may 100 pesos pa ako sa ACE ngayon. Give it to my mom kasi sya madalas pumupunta dun para bumili.
3. VERY less hassle. October ako bumili, SM sale. Di ko na kailangang pumila sa napakahabang pila sa cashier at sa gift wrapping section kapag christmas season na at bilihan na ng mga regalo.

Note: Be sure na lagyan nyo na ng name yung gift. Para when Christmas na, no need to open the wrappers and check if para kanino yung gift. ^_^

Kayo po, anything to share?

^^ wow galing ng tip na yan, sa SM sale.

pero kaunti lang kasi ang inaanak ko (wala pa sa 5 bata), at halos panay cash na rin lang ang regalo ko kasi magagamit rin lang naman.
