Glass Cleaner

Mix plain tap water with white vinegar in an old spray bottle. It works as well as the most expensive cleaner and no streaks!! Really, try it!!

Not Done with Shirts Just Yet!

When my son grows out of his shirts and they're too short to wear out in public but still fit otherwise, I then put them away in his pajama drawer and then he wears them as p.j. shirts until they don't fit.

Refresh Frying Oil

To reuse frying oil, you can fry French fries in it first. It makes the oil just as good as new.

Heavy-duty Wax Paper

Wash and save the wax paper liners from your cereal boxes, as they make great baking sheets when you are rolling out pastry or cookies. The quality is usually heavier than what you buy in the boxes. When you are finished, just discard them in the garbage.

Recycle Christmas Cards

If they haven't been written on, I cut off the front of the Christmas cards I receive. The next year, I mail them out as post cards.

Finger Nail Polish Remover

When removing finger nail polish, use an old dryer sheet and finger nail polish remover. It really works great, and most of the time you will only need one.

Re-purpose Those Christmas Cards

Rip the fronts off of attractive Christmas cards. Trim around the edges of the design, if desired. Buy plain colored wrapping paper and inexpensive ribbon. Wrap the gift box in paper and then in ribbon lengthwise or widthwise, and tape the card on top like department stores do with their foiled store name stickers.

Extra Water

My kids love to drink water, but it always seems that they put too much in a glass for them to drink. Instead of having them pour it down the drain, I keep a small watering can on my kitchen counter. Everytime the cannot finish the drinking water in their cup, they pour it into the watering can. When it gets filled, I use it for my indoor/outdoor plants.
