Conserving Energy

Instead of turning up the heat, put on a sweater or a pair of sweats. Keep your thermostat down and you will keep your costs down and conserve energy..

Gather & Put Away With Ease

I find that if you go in a room that needs a fresh pick-up, gather misplaced items in a hamper and sort later.

Saving Money on Vacations

My husband & I travel to beach for weekends several times a year; to cut cost, I have a cooler in the truck, which has knives, spoons, coffee condiments, few dishes & my old frying pan, Since sometimes we get a room without fridge I have cooler which I fill w/ice and put in things like cold cuts, hamburger meat & milk. We go to the store get items and fix meals for breakfast & lunch then splurge for supper. That way we can order the lobster w/out guilt.

Dollars & Sense - Shopping

Use those coupons

When planning shopping trip I take all sales Ads, since my store matches other's prices I circle the item with a big marker and pull all coupons and clip to my shopping list so they're handy. I also take coupon holder with me so I find a coupon if I find a good sale and I got the coupons. I divide my coupon by type and then by products, (Shelves Goods/Condiments) that way I dont make others in line wait for me and what I save is found money.

Coupons save money

The coupons wont save you money if you dont remember to use them. So I got a nylon coupon holder & using the labeled divers that came with it to sort, I took envelopes used them to divde even more (Health Beauty *HBA* with envelope for shaving that held all shaving items from razors, shaving cream, etc; HAIR included, shampoo, conditioner, styling product. I found that doing that I grab them fast if Im in line w/out holding up the line.

Easy Greasing a Baking Pan

When I fry french fries, I usually use a couple of SCOTT® towels to hold excess oil. Then I transfer them to a dish and serve them. Rather than tossing the towels, I fold and place them neatly into a sandwich bag and into the fridge. When I get ready to bake, I fold down the side exposing the SCOTT® paper towels, wipe around the pan, giving all sides a good coating of oil then add flour if necessary. My hands stay clean and I’m not cleaning under nails with shortening and didn’t waste my oil.

To remove coffee or tea stains from carpets; pour some beer on the stain and then gently scrub the area. You'll be surprised at how quick the stain comes up.

Avoiding watery eyes

To prevent eyes from watering when peeling, cutting or chopping onions, light a candle in your work area. This really does work!
