Frugal Tips - Great Ideas For Frugal
Living
WD-40 will take off almost any residue from stickers on
glass & other surfaces!
Bags secure - Always keep a bunch of clothes pins in your cupboard,
they're very handy for turning down bags, cereal, snacks,
etc...
Scuffs - Use nail polish remover to remove scuffs from
shoes! My little beauty queen scuffed her brand new shoes this week
& this worked great!
Quilts - This week I put out a quilt to dry on the line - it
rained - so it stayed on for 1 more day. The next day when I took
it off the line, I noticed that the side facing the sun had
faded!!! I was not a happy camper! But all is not lost! I've passed
this tip to you - so you will never have a bad quilt day;)
Morel? Always hang a quilt to dry top side down! Even though it's
prettier the other way - if you don't - it will not be so pretty
the next time!
Rusty Bolts - To loosen rusty things, apply a cloth soaked
in any carbonated drink.
Sandpaper - If you dampen the back a little it will not dry
out as bad, and last longer.
Rule!- When trying to loosen, or tighten anything it’s Lefty
loosey - Righty tighty **About 98% of bolts and screws have a
right hand thread, but if it is a left hand thread, it will usually
be marked by small notches midway down the nut. For an example of
this, check your LP gas or propane BBQ tank. Also, there is the
"Right Hand Rule." This is a good for nuts and bolts that may be in
odd positions, facing away, upside down, etc. To do this simply
give a "Thumbs Up" sign, point your thumb in the direction you want
the nut/bolt to go and turn in the direction that your curled
fingers are pointing.
Sticky drawers - Rub with a bar of soap, or candle, or bar
of paraffin wax.
Nail holes - In areas where nail holes are not allowed in
walls, use sewing needles - they hold up to 30 lbs.
Sunburn - Apple cider vinegar takes the pinkness, and pain
away.
Shine - For shiner hair, use (blondes) lemon juice - (reds
& brunettes) apple cider vinegar. This takes off the soap film,
and shines up hair.
