When removing finger nail polish, use an old dryer sheet and finger nail polish remover. It really works great, and most of the time you will only need one.
Our elders, grandparents and seniors can always use postage stamps and envelopes with writing paper or note cards, at the holidays or anytime of the year.
If your store doesn't provide cart wipes, take a SCOTT Towel and hand cleaner in your purse into the grocery store. Spray the towel before you select a shopping cart or touch it, Wipe off the handle as you take hold of it and start your shopping. Wipe your hands after you handle money or your store "bonus tag." Wipe the car door opening handle too, if you can think of it.
Save money and use the cheaper twist-tie storage bags when you have a choice, instead of reaching for the zipper top bags. Unless you are freezing foods, most times they work just as well, and it leaves the heavier ones for their intended use.
Rip the fronts off of attractive Christmas cards. Trim around the edges of the design, if desired. Buy plain colored wrapping paper and inexpensive ribbon. Wrap the gift box in paper and then in ribbon lengthwise or widthwise, and tape the card on top like department stores do with their foiled store name stickers.
My kids love to drink water, but it always seems that they put too much in a glass for them to drink. Instead of having them pour it down the drain, I keep a small watering can on my kitchen counter. Everytime the cannot finish the drinking water in their cup, they pour it into the watering can. When it gets filled, I use it for my indoor/outdoor plants.
Place sticky notes on the back of your food cupboards, pantry doors and cleaning supply cabinets. Write down items that you used up, such as the last of the chips, cereal or SCOTT Towels. When you need to go shopping, simply pull the post-it notes off and you already have your list, without any concerns about forgetting items or buying things that are not needed.
To stop my grandaughter (2-1/2 yrs old) from unrollling the entire role of SCOTT Tissue while trying to potty train her, I first flatten the cardboard tube of toilet paper and then put in on the roller in reverse. It is harder for her to reach, and going the wrong way. The crease in the cardboard center prevents the roll from rolling too fast.
