This mum swears her clever cleaning hack will end up saving you A LOT of money

"Save your penneys and the pounds will take care of themselves."

Ever heard that one before? Not so easy, though, when you are raising children and running a busy household, as we all know. However, a thrifty Australian mum has just come up with a hack that will most definitively help you pinch more penneys. Yup – it might sound crazy - but this budget savvy mum claims she is saving money by cutting each dishwasher tablet in half before chucking it in the dishwasher. And don't worry – they still "clean just as good" @Pinkandhrifty shares on her Instagram account. Other mums chimed into the conversation, adding they have tried the money saving hack too, and could back up her claim. “After seeing @pinkyandthrifty say how well she found the Aldi dishwashing tablets to work even when chopped in half I decided to try it myself!” ThatOrganisedMum wrote. “Still cleans just as well and now will last even longer.” So there you go, mamas – want to stretch those euros even further? Now you know how.
