When packing delicate items for a move, wrap them in as many Scott paper towels as needed for protection. When you arrive at your new destination and upack, you will have all your items safe and secure. As you unpack, you will have a supply of towels to clean with as you settle in. This works better than using newspaper because the paper towels "hug" the items better and there is no messy newsprint. I also use this method when I put items in storage in my attic or basement.

I clip coupons for items that I buy on a regular basis and items that I would buy if I could get them for a really cheap price or even free. You would be surprised at how many items go on sale at your local retailer within 1-4 weeks from the time a coupon for that same item is distributed. I combine my coupons with sales when possible to maximize my savings. I also hold on to my coupons until the day they expire, because you never know when you will run into a great deal!

I was always forgetting my coupons when I would go to the store, then I tried this and it's been working like a charm. If you take an envelope and tape it to your front door and write on the outside COUPONS and you put your coupons in it then every time you are ready to leave the house you are more likely to remember to take them with you.

Everyone has those foam can cozies laying around. I use one in the shower to keep my shaving cream can from getting rusty. Also, we keep them in the car cup holders to hold bottled water and keep it cold. Very versatile!

The best way to keep your family healthy is by encouraging healthy eating habits. Consider eliminating soda from you family's diet. At most, only let your children drink soda on the weekends, or as a special treat. Substitute soda for an alternative tasty drink, like a smoothy. Pick your favorite fruits and watch your kinds enjoy a nice, healthy, sweet drink.

When you're finished painting for the day, wrap your brushes and rollers in any brand clear plastic wrap overnight, and you can pick up painting the next day where you left off.

When a recipe calls for molasses or maple syrup, spray the measuring cup first with nonstick spray. It will just slide right out, and you will not have any waste.

Wash your broccoli when you bring it home from the grocery store. Put the broccoli in a zip-top bag, then wet two Scott Towels with water, squeeze out the excess water and put them in the bag. The broccoli will stay fresh for weeks.

Before hanging a new shower curtain, spray the whole side that's inside the tub with non-stick cooking spray. The curtain stays clean and nerver shows any kind of mold or dirt. And it stays soft until you decide to replace it.

The best way to remove stuck-on food in any pan is to put baking soda and water in it and boil for a few minutes. The mess will come out very easily.

There is a little known SCOTT Towel product that you can find in the large discount stores; usually in the automotive department. Ladies (any guys), please look for SCOTT Shop Towels on a Roll. They are durable, GREAT for cleaning house, cleaning appliances (underneath and inside), sweeping and mopping floors, and polishing and waxing furniture. They are a pretty blue color AND can be washed and reused. I love these towels, and compared with the disposable towels you buy for those new dust mops, they are a huge savings.

Boil potatoes with the skin on. When done, drain. Fold a SCOTT Towel in half and pick up a hot potato. Gently rub the potato back and forth and the skin comes right off. Shake the potato skin off and reuse the towel. It saves time and clean up. When finished, just discard the towel or, better yet, go green and place the towel and the peelings into a compost pile for next spring's gardening.

Oh, dear! Gum left in a pocket in the laundry? Spray the mess with laundry spot cleaner and set the dryer on heat for 10 minutes. Then use an old sock or washcloth to remove the semi soft gum. It works perfectly!

I use a clean SCOTT towel each time I wash dishes. Then, when I am finished, I toss it. This way there is never a sour, dirty dishrag hanging around.

Don't throw away those used toothbrushes. Use them as mini scrub-brushes to clean all those tiny spaces that are hard to clean with standard methods. That includes the hinges of your toilet seat, window and patio door tracks and seams of cabinet doors. Use your imagination. After all, you paid for them once and now they can serve a second purpose.
