Pain-free gardening

I've always looked at those kneeling benches that are sold with gardening supplies, but I never wanted to spend the money on something I would only use a few times each year. Last spring, my youngest child decided that he was a big boy and tall enough to sit at our table without using his cushy, comfy booster seat. I was just about to put the booster seat into our garage sale box, when I realized it would make a perfect kneeling cushion for gardening. My knees don't hurt now and I feel good about making the most of a past purchase!

freezer bags

I haven't tried this yet, just thought of it the other day. To reuse freezer bags for meat or anything else without having to wash them, well why not use the plastic bag you get at the grocery stores you use to put produce in. Put your meat in it first then in the freezer bag. Just make sure the bag doesn't have any holes. Save$$$$$$

renew markers

This is a good tip for parents and teachers. Markers seem to dry out fast. Before buying new ones try dipping them in distilled vinegar. Dab/dry off the excess and test before using on paper.

In a Pinch Coffee Filter

SCOTT® plain white napkins work well as a filter if you unfold it and cut in four pieces. Put one of the squares in the filter holder and then add your coffee on top.

Saving Paper Towels

I buy white cotton dish towels to use in my kitchen for drying dishes, wiping down counter tops etc. Every day I throw that dish towel into my bleach load. I use my SCOTT paper towels for germy dirty work. It is good for the environment and cost effective as well.
