If I get a cloged drain or if bad smells comes from bathroom or kitchen drains,I use a miture of 1 part baking soda to 3 parts vinegar. This tip really works. My husband is a plumber.
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!
While cleaning up dinner, instead of dirtying up tupperware or throw-away containers to store left-overs, just put your left-overs in a ziplock bag and put it in the fridge!! It not only saves time, and space, it saves a few dishes to wash!! Talk about a win, win situation. I have done this for years!!
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.
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.
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.
Winter's here and you never know if something may happen to your car. Our car is older, and
I don't take a chance if the car should break down. So, in our car and in my daughter's, hats scarves and gloves are at our convenience if something should happen. Better safe than sorry!
