steching dinner for less!

When I make hamburger, tuna, or chicken helper I add an extra handful or two of dry noodles to the noodles they provide. This always ensures we have plenty for everyone and it never ruins the recipe!

no more garden weeding

I start saving cardboard,now, for spring time planting. As soon as the sprouts begin to show, I lay cardboard in between the rows of vegies. Placed neatly, there is hardly any having to weed the garden at all. The cardboard disintegrates over he winter, adding moisture to my rock hard soil. Every year the soil gets a little softer.

Freezing Bananas

Before freezing ripened bananas, which you can use in different recipes, peel them and put them in air tight containers. This will make it a lot easier and less messy than trying to peel a thawed banana.

Gnats Be Gone

To prevent those pesty small flys (GNATS) from living in your house plants, sprinkle about 1/4 inch of very fine sand on the top of the soil and they will leave. I use silica sand as it works quite well to keep them away. Especially any new plants you bring into your home from a store or gifts.

Hate shredded tissues in washing machine

Mother taught me this years ago - did you know that Scott tissues are the only tissues that survive the washing machine without shredding into tiny bits all over your clean laundry? They are the only tisuues I buy, because I know they will come out in one piece if someone leaves one in a pocket and it goes through the wash undiscovered!

Washing Machine Odor

No need to buy anything to keep your washer from smelling. After you do a load of wash keep the door open or ajar until the inside is dry. My mother taught me this back in the 50's when she used her wringer washer.

fruit flies

I put a small amount of vinegar, plus a touch of honey and a touch of liquid dishwashing product together and mix well with spoon and it draws the fruit flies to it and kills them. It works!

Clean Flowing Sewer

The sewer man's statement: Scott Single Ply will disolve in your system. Others will remain as paper and clog your system.
