How To Get Out Grass Stains

My daughter is very active and loves being outside. When she's running outside and playing on the grass, she ends up falling a lot and getting grass stains on her pants. I make sure to put her in pants because she gets scrapes on her knees everytime she falls. But the downside to that is I have to figure out how to get grass stains out of her pants. 

Here are some of the solutions I've come across. I will try them out and update as well. 

• Rubbing Alcohol:  Rubbing alcohol is good at getting stains out. To get the stain out, wet the stain with rubbing alcohol and let it air dry. Rinse with water and then wet stain with some detergent. Rinse again and let air dry. Wash as usual 

• Plain White Vinegar: Wash stain with warm water and plain white vinegar and rub. Wash as you normally do. 

• Rub with  prewash stain remover per instructions and wash as you normally would.

• Don't use ammonia, degrease or alkaline detergents because they may set the stain in permanantly. 

Controlling spending

Last month, I exceeded my shopping budget by a big amount and this month, I'm already over shopping budget. And over the last few days, I've been fighting an urge to shop for clothes for my daughter.

She's outgrown all her pajamas and night clothes. She needs new clothes and there were some pretty good deals online. I kept looking online and pushing items to cart but am resisting the urge to spend the money right now. I also put on some weight over the last year and need some bigger clothes - my old clothes don't fit me well especially my work clothes.

I know these are needed and maybe I'll end up buying some anyway. But I don't want to use this as an excuse and buy a ton of other stuff not needed right now.

Any tips on how to stop myself from shopping?
