For an easy, inexpensive way to remove ink spots from washable clothing, soak the ink stain in milk, the spot will dossolve! When its gone, launder immediately.

Bottled Italian salad dressing makes a delicious, easy marinade for grilliing steak, chicken, fish and veggies.

Ever try using a pizza cutter to cut crunchy veggies like celry and green beans? It's easy and the evenly cut pieces really dress up a salad.

I keep a list of my family's latest clothing and shoe sizes in my wallet. Now when a great bargain catches my eye, I can but it---without worrying about exchanging it next week.

To keep my cat's litter box fresh and easier to clean, I line the bottom with newspaper, sprinkle a dusting of baking soda, then add the litter.

Here are some more...

To keep necklace chains from tangling in my luggage, I slip one end into a plastic straw, slide it through and secure the two ends together. Then I pack them into my suitcase.

To prevent slips and falls in my children's pool, I put bathtub decals on the bottom before filling it with water.

To make canned frosting taste homemade, I add one or two tablespoons of sour cream to each can.

Out of fabric-sofetener? Dampen a washcloth with liquid softener,throw it in the dryer with a load of wash, and you'll have a static-free, sweet-smelling laundry!

For a comfortable place to rest your wrist while operating a computer mouse, rollup some bubble wrap to the desired height and tape it to your desktop.
