Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for April 11, 2020

Good one,Val.

Mane & Tail is an excellent shampoo.

Put a bar of Fels-Naptha in there.

Miss Drama Queen has to learn the value of money. Give her chores to do to earn her allowance.

Horse soap for a horses a$$, how appropriate!

The original “Mane & Tail” shampoo came in gallon bottles at Farm & Fleet.

She is a teen age girl. A teenage girl after playing some sports can smell like a horse. So a soap that can be a perfect match.

I applaud the use of inexpensive products when you are on a tight budget, but sometimes those just do not work well. Then it is time to get something just a bit more expensive without going overboard.

one day she will have a job and have to budget her money. then she will understand what saving a few pennies will mean,

Give Holly a budget of what you normally spend and take her to the store. Anything above that amount comes from her allowance. She’ll quickly discover the merits of low-cost brands or the Dollar Tree.

Growing up, I never thought this way. I knew and understood that we were on budget. And I’ve carried those lessons to even today.

Looks like a bar of lye soap. We always had one at the basement sink.

When I had a horse I used saddle soap on his tack. It felt like it could do a good job on me too!

Alix is doing her part.

She might let Holly know she’s off to save a few more cents by turning off the water heater.
