chip clips

if you have a plastic pant hanger to break, use the clips on the ends for closing your potato chip bags, etc. They are just the right size and work perfectly.

SCENTED CANDLE JARS

Don't throw those scented candle jars away just because the wax is too low to burn safely anymore. To easily get the wax out, put the jar in the freezer for a couple of hours and that mass of wax will be loose enough to take out in pieces. You can use the jar for other things.

Free Iced Coffee

If you are pouring your unused coffee down the drain, you are wasting money. Since most of us use a thermos to keep coffee fresh, why not refridgerate the left over for the next day? I do and love making a new flavor or combination to try. All of us have ice cream toppings in the fridge, they make GREAT addittions to coffee, add ice and you are ready to go!!

Leftovers

Use leftovers in to make a whole new meal! IE: Use leftover baked or roasted potatos in soup, or lefover meat in a pie rather than start with new ingredients. It saves money and the seasonings used to prepare food the first time, enhances the new meal!

Return junk

I get so much junk in with my monthly bills or just advertisements with postage paid envelopes included. I return them when I pay my bills or just insert the junk into their postage paid envelope to return to the sender. Maybe they'll get the hint and stop wasting paper and my time.

Saving Bread Bags

Save your bread bags. They are air-tight and can be used to store vegetables in (lettuce), leftover rolls, biscuits, etc. and keeps them fresh.
