LitterMaid Air Cleaner
Keep Air Around The Litter Box Fresh & Clean…

Retail Price: $29.99
DEAL PRICE: $9.99
Get Two for $15.98

This is one of those deals that I am still amazed we got.
The retail on this is $29.99 and we’re selling it for $9.99.

Yep, you read it correctly… $9.99. It’s the LitterMaid
Air Cleaner and I remember seeing these advertised in a well-
known catalog for $29.99 (I’ve actually seen it for more
in stores).

The LitterMaid Air Cleaner is a continuous fan that easily
attaches to the litter box. Its consistent action filters
odors to make the air around the litter box fresh and clean.
It is absolutely fragrance-free as it works to absorb odor
instead of masking.

It just needs to be clamped on the litter box and plugged in
to be able to operate it for 24 hours a day.

Grab one for $9.99 or get two for $15.98. One thing, this
low price ensures they will sell out fast. Don’t wait.

TODAY’S THRIFTY TIP:  

Feeling the need to get ready for cold weather does not 
mean we’re going back in time. Our parents or grandparents
needed to make autumn preparations. If we’re smart, we’ll
do the same, even if what WE do has changed.

What do we need to do in the autumn, before the cold weather
comes?

1. Have furnaces checked, change the filter, and most
of all check Your smoke alarm batteries.

2. Clean out coat closets. Check sizes, wear and so on,
to see what needs to be replaced before cold weather.
 
3. Have our cars tuned up and ready for cold weather
driving. Make sure our tires are ok for ice and/or snow.

4. Buy what’s on sale now. Can, dehydrate and freeze
produce that is cheap right now for frugal winter
eating.

5. Take a look at window casings and doors and make any
repairs that are needed. Replace caulking, tighten hinges,
install weather stripping.

6. Take advantage of sales on garden tools, paper, pens,
pencils and fresh root vegetables.

7. Look to nature to provide decorations for our homes.
Everything from rocks, twigs, to “weeds” can be used
creatively.

The more we prepare before winter comes, the less winter
will cost us and that’s a FRUGAL fact.
