Greasy soup? Fix it!

A lettuce leaf will soak up excess grease from a pot of soup. Leave it in for little while, then remove and discard. If the soup is very greasy, use two or more leaves.

Look for the bargains this way

Grocery and other stores put lower priced items at the very bottom or sometimes at the very top, in hopes that you won't notice them and you'll buy the higher priced items at more comfortable levels. Fool them. Check the prices in that hard to see and reach areas!

Don't waste limp celery

Put celery in a glass of cold water and add a slice of raw potato. It will crisp right up in just a little while!

Reusing ribbon

You can iron ribbon of all kinds. Use a low or very low setting for most of them and wind them on cardboard tubes from toilet tissue. It will look like new. Some quality ribbon made of cloth can even be washed and then ironed. 

Most popular post

By far the most popular post is "You can wash suede clothing." Who knew? Along those same lines is this: Don't wash your clothes every time you wear them. Really.
