Coupon Organizer

I use a large photo album with clear inserts to organize my coupons. I bring home one of the store maps/ aisle locators and label the top of each page with the aisle name and number. Then I sort my coupons in order of how I shop and carry them with me that way. That way, I can always find the sizes and quantities of what I need to buy easily.

Picky Eater?

If you have an elderly parent or someone who has been ill but would like to join you when you're going out to eat, you can order from the children's menu. No more large, expensive portions going uneaten!

Reuse Liquid Plant Food Sprayer

I bought a liquid plant food sprayer with a hose attachment. When the disposable plant food bottle was empty, I opened it, rinsed it and filled it with chlorine bleach. It now attaches to my hose to clean mold off the deck and patio.

Using Up Shampoo Samples

We all have those little bottles or packets of shampoo. I use them to clean my combs and brushes. After removing the hair from the brushes, I pour some of the shampoo in the sink with very hot water and let the combs and brushes soak for a while. Then swish them around to clean them and rinse.
