Today on Bridge Street, we were visited by Amy Sewell who taught us how to Shop with Style and save money using some essential kitchen gadgets:
1. The Shark Steam Pocket Mop cleans up to 2,000 square feet with just two pints of water. Not only can you clean without expensive chemicals, but since the microfiber pads are machine washable, you avoid the expense of constantly buying new mop pads. Visit www.sharkclean.com
2. The Vita-Mix is a blender, food processor, juicer, and more! Just one appliance can replace many small electrics in your kitchen. Use it to make juices, grind whole grains, knead bread dough, make hot soup from whole vegetables, and make frozen desserts. Visit www.vitamix.com
3. If you rarely make a full pot of coffee, or frequently throw out coffee you don’t drink, a single-serve coffeemaker from Senseo enables you to brew one or two cups of gourmet coffee at a time. It saves money on wasted coffee, and at only 40 cents per cup, is much less expensive than buying takeout coffee. Visit www.senseostore.com
4. Hillshire Farm has a few go-to recipes for holiday guests- stock up on ingredients so you will be prepared! Smoked Sausage Casserole and Corn Bisque are two great selections. Visit www.gomeat.com
5. Pets depend on us for their health and well-being, but that doesn’t mean you need to spend a fortune on pet foods. DAD’s Bite Size Meal for Dogs and DAD’s Special Mix for cats are made with wholesome local ingredients from small farms close to where the food is produced in Pennsylvania, which keeps prices down and nutrition levels high.
