Plumbing

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.

Keep your veggies fresh

When you cut your Fresh Bell Peppers or any kind of Veggie you cut and save the rest for later, before you put then in a baggie put a folded Scott paper towel in the bag then put your veggie in, they stay fresher for longer.

Saving $ on electricity and dishwasher soap.

I use the top rack of my dishwasher to drain and dry my hand washed dishes, and air dry or hand dry. I use the previous day's towel on the lower rack and catches run off water. I have saved over $75./per month in electricity and dishwashing soap. When the holiday or company comes , I use the dishwasher but now and again family pitch in to dry while I still wash...its family time in the kitchen. I have saved over $900. this year.

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..

Plastic clothespins Uses

When ever you need to close a bag of chips or food you opened but do not use the whole package. Take a Plastic clothespin and use it instead of a Chip clip. You not only get more clothespins per package for less money, they even clip better! You get any where from 12 to 20 or 40 per bag. Cheaper than buying Chip clips! Some are so pretty you can use them to hold back curtains so you can get sun into any room. I even use them to hold plants on a stick. So clip a bag or a curtain or use them to hold your coupons when you go shopping, or when you want to keep papers from cluttering a desk, clip it with a clothes pin. Makes a great conversation piece too. Or use them to clip mittens or boots together with their mates. Inexpensive and effective!

Vegetables for Soup

Keep a container in the freezer into which you put any leftover vegetables. When the container is full, use those vegetables to make a delicious homemade soup.
