Check the recycling number on the bottom of the container. This number, usually located in a small triangle, identifies the type of plastic the container is made of.
Determine if the triangle contains No. 7. BPA containers should have a number seven. However, not all No. 7 products contain BPA. Call the manufacturer to see if the product is BPA free.
Look for the numbers '1,' '2' or '5' on the bottom of products. Containers with these numbers are free from BPA.
Assess if the plastic is soft and pliable. These types of plastics are typically BPA free. Bisphenol A- containing polycarbonate containers are usually made of translucent, hard plastic, such as in reusable water bottles and baby bottles.

How to Save Money on BabyIn Feburary 2016 29,
In Feburary 2016 29,
Do you have a CVS drugstore located near you? Probably. It's a nation-wide chain. If you don't know of any local CVS, visit their website. You might be surprised to find one in the next town.Then sign up for a free Easy Saver card. This is part of their customer loyalty program which offers tremendous deals to loyal customers.. You can sign up at a store on their website. If you do it in-store you will get your card immediately. Otherwise, you should receive it in the mail in a few weeks. Once you have that in hand you are ready to start saving!
Start collecting coupons for diapers and other grocery items. You'll find these in the coupon inserts of the Sunday paper, in baby and parenting magazines, at special displays in grocery and drug stores. Ask your friends and family to save them for you. Sign up online with diaper companies to receive them. Sometimes you can even find them online for printing. Another option is to buy them through a coupon clipping service.
Organize your coupons in a way that is most efficient for you. I like the way thecouponmom organizes hers using her computer. See the Resources below.
Save all the CVS sales circulars both weekly and monthly (from the newspaper or from the store) or you can download them from the web.
CVS has a program that offers 'Extra Care Bucks' (ECBs). ECBs are can be used as gift certificates at CVS. Each week they offer a number of items that are come with ECBs that equal the purchase price. If you use the ECBs it is like getting the items for free. For example, I received an ECB certificate for $3.49 after I bought Crest Pro Health Night Rinse which was on sale for $3.49. The ECB printed out at the end of my receipt. The next time I shopped at CVS I was able to use the $3.49 ECB to purchase more items. If I shop carefully I can actually increase the number of ECBs I have with every shopping trip. When I have about 20 ECBs I can 'purchase' diapers with my ECBs instead of cash from my own bank account.In order to do this, I search carefully through the current week's and month's circulars for these ECB items. I try to always use ECBs to purchase items that will generate the same amount or more ECBs than I previously had except when I'm buying diapers. (Unfortunately, diapers almost never generate ECBs.) In this way, I get all kinds of drugstore inventory items for free in addition to diapers. It's easy to bring home $15-50 worth of groceries but pay only $1.00 out of pocket and earn the same or more ECBs than previously so that I can go back and do it again next week!
Plan exactly what you will purchase so as to get maximum ECBs with as little out of pocket as possible. If you'd like some suggestions check out the becentsable blog (link in Resources).
Go to the CVS and gather the merchandise on your list. If your store has a price checker machine, be sure to scan your card when you first enter the store. Coupons and rebates will print. If you're lucky, you'll get a $3/$15 or $4/$20 coupon. These coupons are just what they sound like. You will get $3 off of your total if you purchase $15 or more in merchandise (or $4 off of $20). This is like free money to us. If I'm already going to be buying $15 worth of products before coupons (with ECBs, of course) then I can get $3 toward free diapers! These $3/$15 or $4/20 coupons also can print at the bottom of your receipt. Newspapers will sometimes carry them as well if your area drug stores are in intense competition. These coupons can be stacked on top of manufacturer's coupons, CVS coupons, and ECB deals to make even more money. Here's a current deal this week:Buy 8 bottles Dove shampoo/conditioner at $4.29 for 2 bottles x 4 = $17.16 total (This price may vary according to region.)
Use the following coupons for this deal:
$5/$15 CVS coupon
$3/$15 CVS coupon Beauty Purchase from a CVS email
$6 off by using 2 Manufacturer's coupons $3/2
$12 off by using 4 Manufacturer's coupons $3/1
Total coupon value $26This amounts to a negative balance of $8.84. CVS actually owes you money. But their policy won't allow paying you money. In this scenario they pay you with merchandise. You knew about this negative balance before getting to the register because you tallied up your purchases with your handy-dandy calculator. So, before going to the check-out counter, you simply put a pack of diapers for $11.99 into the cart. You have a $1.50 coupon. So you walk out with 8 bottles of shampoo and a pack of diapers for only $1.65!! Now, that's what I call cheap diapers!If the item you want is out of stock, be sure to ask for a rain check that reflects the ECBs you missed out on. Just because they miscalculated their inventory needs doesn't mean you have to miss out on the good deal.Before getting in the register line, add up your total (after coupons) with a calculator to be sure things go smoothly. When your total is less than your ECBs you can buy your diapers for pennies.
Be sure you present any coupons you have to the cashier in the proper order. The order in which you present your coupons makes a big difference. You should hand over your CVS Extra Care card first. Otherwise, you may not get all the deals that you should. Next, place your merchandise on the counter. If you have one of those $3/$15 or something similar give that to the cashier next. This is important. If you do it after CVS and manufacturer's coupons the total price will be smaller and your transaction may not qualify for the coupon. If you're using CVS coupons, they come next. Then hand over your manufacturer's coupons and get your final total. Lastly, use your ECBs. It is quite a thrill to have a total go from $16, down to $13, to $11, to $3! And as a crowning touch pay with $3.00ECB! I love getting free diapers!
Look for and save ECBs and discount coupons that print at the end of your receipt. On your first shopping trip you will have to pay out of pocket. The following weeks, however, you will pay for your purchases with previously earned ECBs.
Do it all again next week!

How to Get Free Movie TicketsIn Feburary 2016 29,
In Feburary 2016 29,
Check official movie websites for upcoming movies for advanced screenings and chances to win tickets. Advanced screenings are offered to promote the movie, raise awareness and help spread the word about it.
Sign-up online for tickets to advanced screenings. There are many websites online, including Volition Movie Tix, Film Metro and Free Movie Screenings (see links in Resources). These sites have a limited number of tickets, given out on a first-come, first-served basis. Results will vary based on the region of the country you're in. Your movie selection will also be limited to those the movie production companies choose to promote.
Complete online marketing offers from different sponsors. Websites such as 'I Want Free Movie Tickets' and 'Free Movie Premier Tickets' send you free tickets when you complete certain offers from different company's products and services. The sponsors pay for the tickets. When you fulfill the required obligation, the website sends you the free tickets. Examples of companies include auction sites, universities, satellite companies and alarm companies.
Establish a special email address for the unsolicited spam that's sure to follow after you sign up for free movie tickets, because correct personal information is required to get your tickets. Once you divulge your address and phone number, you could be subjected to telemarketing calls also.
Read the entertainment and metro sections of the newspaper. Frequently, passes for advanced screenings are advertised in these sections. Listen to radio stations for the chance to win passes.
Look for opportunities in every area of your life. The organizations you belong to may offer free tickets to certain movies to its members. Teachers, for instance, are often offered tickets to education-themed movies. Businesses of all sorts use movie tickets for promotions. Check-out car dealerships, store grand-openings and real estate open houses in new neighborhoods.

How to Plan a Summer BBQIn Feburary 2016 27,
In Feburary 2016 27,
Pick the right day. BBQ's are best for end of the week gatherings or weekend days. Pick a time when most people will be available.
Create your guest list. If you've had lots of parties, you know that guest lists tend to expand. If you invite one friend, you have to invite others and so on. Pick compatible people from various sources. Don't just invite people from work. If you do invite people from work, limit the number so that they don't cluster and only talk about work. Diversify. Include neighbors and family members and new acquaintances. Introduce your guests to one another so they can mingle and talk.
Make a party CD. It's a good idea to have all of the music planned ahead of time so that you aren't distracted by choosing CDs and changing the tunes. Making MP3 CDs is great for parties because you can fit 8 hours of music on one CD.
Plan the food. Get a fairly accurate head count so that you know how much of everything to buy. As you invite people, assign them a type of food (salad, dessert, drinks) to bring. Plan for about 20 percent more than you expect. Have a variety of items on hand to BBQ for different tastes. If some people are vegetarian, have some gardenburgers to toss on the grill.
Make sure the food is safe. Meat and mayo based products can't be left for more than 4 hours without refrigeration. No food should be uncovered or in the sun. Barbecue meat to at least medium. Keep an eye on people who over-indulge in alcohol. Have a first aid kit and fire extinguisher on hand for emergencies.

How to host a UFC / MMA watching partyIn Feburary 2016 26,
In Feburary 2016 26,
Visit the official UFC website and learn when their upcoming events will be held. Select an upcoming fight that you want to center your party around.
Order the event through your cable company. The UFC website details whether the event will be shown on cable television or if it is a Pay-Per-View event. If it is a Pay-Per-View event call your cable company and order it. Prices of the events vary. Charges will appear on your next cable bill.
Create a UFC-themed invitation. Whether you are using email, an invite website or purchasing paper invitations, use sports or UFC themes in the language of the invitation. For example, 'In Celebration of UFC 133, it is time to par-ty!' Detail normal information needed on the invitation such as date, address, time and an RSVP phone number or email address.
Purchase food and beverages for the party. If ordering food for delivery, contact the restaurant ahead of time so they are not surprised by the order. Since the UFC is a sporting event, food often found at those venues is appropriate. Pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers, chips and various dips are all suggestions for your UFC party. Note, if you have UFC friends that are in training for their own MMA competitions or are health conscious, tailor the menu in that manner. Offer vegetables and light dips and lots of lean protein such as chicken, pork, beef and fish. Also purchase both alcoholic beverages such as beer and spirits and non-alcoholic beverages such as soda, juice and sports drinks for your guests.
Purchase UFC decorations for your party. UFC licenses a line of party items such as plates, napkins and cups. Additionally, purchase posters and other UFC-themed merchandise you can display during the party.
Prepare for the party. Before everyone arrives, make sure that there is ample seating around the television. Additionally, you might need to set-up food tables and beverage stations. Make sure to chill drinks in the fridge or in a cooler before your guests arrive. Finally, hang all the UFC decorations you purchased for the party.
Host the party. During the event, make sure that everyone has enough food and drink to enjoy while watching the event. Finally, make sure that everyone practices safe drinking while at your party. If anyone overindulges in alcohol, call them a cab, find someone else to drive them home or insist that they stay until they are sober.

How to Create a Client DatabaseIn Feburary 2016 16,
In Feburary 2016 16,
Open Microsoft Excel. Click “File, Save As.” Choose a name for your database, something memorable that pertains to your service such as “Cake Clients, or Lawn Care Clients.” Type this name in the “File name” box and click “Save.”
Label the columns based on what information they hold. For example, “First name, Last name, Address, Phone number, Account Status.” To make the columns wider, move the selection tool over the line between the columns. Left-click and drag until the column is as wide as you need it to be. Do this with each information column.
Bold the headings of your columns for clarity. Select the first cell, hold down the Control button and click on each of the other cells with labels. Go up to the toolbar and click on the “B.” This will bold each label.
Enter the first client’s information in the next cell under your chosen headings. By separating last names from first names, or using the format “last name, first name” Excel can sort your client data more easily when you need to search.
Continue entering client information until your list is complete. Save often by clicking the floppy disk icon on the toolbar, or by selecting “File, Save.”
Sort the data as needed. Sorting is easy with Excel. You can sort the data by any field you have chosen. For example, you can sort by last names, item purchased or city. Do this by clicking on the column of information you wish to see your clients sorted by. Click on “Data, Sort, OK.” You can also click the “AZ icon” for quick sorting.

How to Emcee a Talent ShowIn Feburary 2016 14,
In Feburary 2016 14,
Do your preparation. If there are announcements to be made before the show, familiarize yourself with the list so that you can briefly reel them off before the show instead of reading and sounding like a robot. If you don't know the acts, ask them to give you a maximum of three things that you can use for their introductions. Find out if they'll allow you to spice up the intros with funny anecdotes they might reveal about themselves. Be sure you know the proper pronunciation of the act names and that your own material is memorized so that you can really sell it and keep the energy up.
Take a cue from Hugh Jackman at the Oscars and open the show with your own showstopping number. If you are sure your number will be fantastic then go for it! This will set a positive tone for the night and put the audience in a fabulous mood, making them more receptive to the rest of the acts,
Segue from the thunderous applause of your opening number to the introduction of your first act. If you are naturally funny then be funny, if no--no worries, just be yourself. Things are bound to come up that are funny anyway. Try to personalize your jokes without insulting anyone. This will ensure that those in the crowd who know the performers will feel included and will enhance their enjoyment of the show because they will feel 'in on' the joke.
Be prepared to fill time. A performer may not make a costume change, or simply get stage fright. In any case, use the time to interact with the audience. Knowing the crowd will help. If all else fails, ask if anyone is celebrating an anniversary. Congratulate the couple, and segue into finding the couple who has been married the longest. Ask them for advice, or make your own jokes about marriage. You can also use these bits if a performer has frozen on stage.
Seize opportunities for humor. Every live show inadvertently has unexpected moments, most of which can be used for improvised jokes if you pay attention. A baby in the audience that will not stop crying, or an extremely loud ambulance heard echoing throughout the theater, even an audience member getting up to use the bathroom while you are emceeing are all gifts. Use them for fodder and stay alert!
Have fun and stay calm. Breathe and just remember if you are having fun, the audience will be having fun. Your mood will be contagious. Remember too that when things go wrong, they are not really going wrong, they are providing you with funny material! With that mindset you should have no worries. Keep loose!

How to Get a Free Vehicle History ReportIn Feburary 2016 08,
In Feburary 2016 08,
Ask the dealer or seller for a free vehicle history report. Many dealerships are now providing these reports at no cost to consumers. Some private sellers are also giving a free vehicle history report to potential buyers. Simply ask the dealer or seller to give you a free vehicle history report before you make a final offer on the car. The costs for the report are low for dealers, so if a dealer refuses to give you a free vehicle history report, it could be a sign that something is seriously wrong with the vehicle.
Utilize free vehicle history report services. There are a small number of free vehicle history report services available predominantly online. While these services typically do not provide a more detailed report like some of the major vehicle history providers, the limited information the free reports do provide can give you a general idea about the vehicle's reliability. If you discover any questionable items through these free services, you may want to consider purchasing a full report, or avoid purchasing the vehicle entirely.
Take advantage of the basic free vehicle history report offered by major vehicle history services. Companies like CarFax offer a basic report to consumers at no cost. This is a great way to determine if you need to purchase a more detailed report, or if you should just avoid the car altogether.
Use a deep-web search engine to find the vehicle's history. Deep-web search engines go beyond typical web searches, and check through databases of public records for a variety of different things - including vehicle and title records. You can create your own free 'vehicle history report' by typing the full vehicle identification number (VIN) into a deep-web search engine and searching. Focus specifically on records listed under your state's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV or MVS) or similar organizations.

How to Get a Free Credit Report in CanadaIn Feburary 2016 06,
In Feburary 2016 06,
To request a credit report by mail, TransUnion and Equifax require the consumer to download, fill out and mail in a form. TransUnion uses the Consumer Disclosure form and Equifax uses the Canadian Credit Report Request form, both of which are located on their respective websites. Along with the form, the consumer sends in two photocopies of both sides of two pieces of identification such as a driver’s license, passport, birth certificate, Social Insurance number or utility or credit card bill.
Over the Phone and in-Person
A consumer can call TransUnion to request that the company mail him a copy of the Consumer Disclosure form to mail back in. Equifax allows consumers to submit all necessary information over the phone and then mails the credit report to the consumer. TransUnion also provides free credit reports in person through a Canadian TransUnion office. At the office, the consumer fills out the Consumer Disclosure form and provides two pieces of identification.
Online
Both credit reporting companies provide online credit reports with immediate access, but both charge for the service. As of the time of publication, Equifax charges $15.50 for the online credit report and $23.95 for both the report and the credit score. If applying by mail, Equifax charges $11.95 for the credit score to be included in the mailed report. TransUnion’s online credit report is $14.95, while the report and score are $22.90.
