Find the Biggest Savings on Amazon
By attosa
When you're doing some online shopping on Amazon, this tip can help you find the biggest savings on whatever you're searching for. In this example, I'm looking for paint brushes. When the search results come up, go to the url and add the argument "&pct-off=90-99" (without the quotes) to the end and hit enter. This will bring up the most discounted items in your search. (I marked the url change and discount shown in red.) If you change the argument at the end of the url to "&pct-off=50-99" it will find you items discounted from 50 to 99 percent. Adjust accordingly. :)
Recycle Old Day Planners into Scratch-Pads
By Ivey
Around our house, we use Day-Planners and several different calendars simultaneously, which ultimately leaves us with a lot of paper that needs recycling. We've discovered that one way to Reduce/Reuse/Recycle these particular forms of waste paper is to turn them into new scratch-pads for notes, grocery lists, etc. It's easy and only takes a minute! Simply cut long strips from your old planner or calendar, trim to neaten, staple on one end and you're done. Stacks and stacks of free note-pads. Enjoy!
Cardboard Tube for Storing Gift Wrap Rolls
By ShirleyE
Storing partly used rolls of gift wrap can be a bit of a nuisance. The paper unravels and becomes crumpled. You can end up wasting a lot, or sometimes all, of the remaining paper.
Hang Clothing Backward In Closet
By sooz
All the hooks of my hangers start out the same way; however, when I've worn something once and it is good enough for a second wear before washing, I put it back on the hanger but the hook faces the opposite way.
