Frugal living is about using homemade remedies to save money and promote health as well as clipping coupons at the grocery store, when dining out and saving money in other ways too. Well I have a great home made recipe for how to make a homemade ice pack. Pop this in your freezer for aches and pains for you and bumps and bruises with the little ones in your household.
Homemade Ice packs:
- 1 Heavy duty freezer bag marked with permanent marker “Ice Pack Only”
- Fill 33% Alcohol (1/3rd)
- 66% Water (2/3rds)
Place in freezer. You’ll find that this will stay flexible with the alcohol but still get really cold and slightly freeze. Perfect for wrapping around bumps, bruises, aches & pains! Please share this post with friends & pin this on PINTEREST!
Do you like home remedies and saving money? Its all part of my frugal living plan. Its my strategy for saving money in ALL aspects of my life so that I can choose specific things to spend my money on.
Your goals should be to spend less on groceries and dining out and bills and more on vacations and fun things that make your family happy and create memories for a life time. After all…. no one lays on their death bed and thanks the good Lord for all the money they spent at their grocery store but they may thank God for the times they spent together camping on or vacation etc. So save, save, save anywhere and everywhere you can!

At the time I had sprained my ankle and we were going through a lot of bags, ice, making messes you know the drill. And no matter how many bags I used they always got a hole in them so I was happy to put my new food sealer to the test. When I went to make one we were out of rubbing alcohol so I had to go to town to buy rubbing alcohol before I could make it. When I got home I quickly looked at the recipe found here. […]
