I love common household products that can be used in unexpected ways. Buying a product that can be used in a variety of different ways is one of the best ways I know to live frugally.
Epsom Salt, is that what’s in my fragrant bath salts that I got for Christmas? Here I thought that it was just to make my bath water smell pretty. Why didn’t anyone tell me that Epsom Salt has a lot of healing properties. If I had known this I would have used my Christmas present instead of just displaying it because it looked pretty. Thanks to my family I’m now informed with a huge list of frugal living tips using Epsom Salt.
We’d love to see how you use epsom salt! Snap a picture of your unique way of using it & tag it on Instagram with @FlusterBuster #epsomsalt
** If, by some minor miracle, you worked at Amway in Ada, MI in the 1980s and were the person my mother loaned the notebook to, please contact me. The notebook is a small (approx. 6″x9″) black leather, 3-ring binder, and contains hand-drawn patterns (teddy bear), recipes, and household tips and tricks. It would mean so much to my family to have it back.

This is a very impressive list, Robin ! My granny used to have boxes of this stuff, so I know quite a few of the above uses and they all work 🙂 Now, to try the rest of the list !
Kind of scary that you can us it for grout cleaning! LOL Love this list and thanks for putting it all together. I really need to take more baths! I really do enjoy using the salts.
I myself use Epsom Salts ALL the time! I soak in them nightly…part of my refreshing ritual 🙂
Thanks so much for sharing about the other uses…didn't realize there were so many.
I love to soak in Epsom salts! I always add a little baking soda with essential oils to it.
I do the same thing, as often as I can. At 71 it’s getting harder to get out of the tub.

I need a box right now! I was given some pretty homemade bath salts for Christmas and I used them all up. Every last grain! Can't wait to try it to clean my white grout.
Oh I need to try this when Arthur(ritis) comes to visit. lol! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,

I knew Epsom Salts were good for the bathwater, but I did not know they had so many wonderful uses – love it! I do appreciate you sharing with Home and Garden Thursday,

Wow…increase energy and reduce stress! I've got to get me some! Thanks for sharing this at Think Tank Thursday. I've featured these today at saving4six(dot)com.
Can Epsom salt be used as an ice melt?
I’ve never tried it, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work!
