Clear headlights of ice, snow and mud

If you drive in nasty weather, you may have trouble with headlights that get muddy or icy so they don't shine well. Use car wax to coat and polish them. It repels water and keeps them much cleaner for about six weeks.

What's more frugal than free?

Easy composting even in the winter

If you garden at all, never throw out water in which you've cooked vegetables, potatoes or pasta. It contains valuable nutrients, so pour it on your garden, even in the winter. Don't put salt in it, though.

Don't turn down a hand-me-down

Never turn down hand-me-downs. If you or your children can't use the item, make something else with the material. Patchwork, potholders and the like, can be made from even small bits of clothing.

Don't throw out that single earring

Lost an earring? Use the one you have as a tie tack, hat decoration, or, if it's big enough, as a pendant on a necklace chain.

Save shampoo

Don't toss that shampoo bottle because it looks empty. Instead, put a tablespoon or so of water in it and swish it around. There's plenty of shampoo stuck to the sides and under the cap to wash your hair at least once more.

Make the most of soup bones

'Soup bones' that you find at the grocer any more don't have much food value at all, but you can boil them and crack them to get the marrow, if you can find them cheaply enough. Mix the marrow into the boiling liquid and use this a base for soups. If you add barley or wheat to your soup along with the marrow, it will taste like a meat stew.
