Some of the pasta sauces I buy have pretty mason jars. I remove the label, wash them well, and use them to decant items. Sugar, flour, or even tide pods. They look prettier to me than the packaging from the store!

Yes! Me too. Food items or even things like cotton balls or q-tips for the bathroom. I love them for drinking glasses...strong, easy to clean, can use the lids and put holes for straws. I also use them for leftovers or to prep salads in. So versatile!

Those bread clips (flat ones) are a good solution to finding the end of your masking tape, painters tape,etc. just stick it to the end each time you use the tape, never have to search for the start of the tape again

Bread tabs are also good for broken flip flops. Pop the toe back in the hole and use it on the underside to prevent it from continuing to pop out after the flip flop material splits.

We pretty much stopped using wrapping paper decades ago, when I decided that it was a waste to throw away beautiful paper that had been used only once just to wrap a gift. I started making gift bags out of fabric I had left from other projects, and then started buying remnants of holiday prints in January after the Christmas season. And family members who have arthritic hands found these bags were great because wrapping gifts was hard on their hands, so we gave them each a stack of bags. We've been using some of the same bags for almost 40 years now, and seeing them each year is almost like seeing old friends again. And it's surprising that fabric that wouldn't make attractive clothese actually makes nice looking bags. We still use paper to wrap gifts we are giving to people outside the family, but we haven't had to buy paper for years since our supply has lasted a long time. I think some of your viewers would enjoy using this idea, and they could even repurpose old clothes --- plaid flannel shirts would make great looking gift bags.

I use those hangers to dry clothes. I also hang wet shirts on regular hangers and place them on the metal arms of the revolving clothesline my husband fabricated for me. It saves line space for things like sheets and towels. The shirts dry, then you hang them in the closet. Old pantyhose also work well for wrapping paper. It keeps the edges from getting tattered and torn.

I started saving Lycra scraps for a sewing project.......cut it into 1/2 in wide strips or 1/3 inch wide.......and cut into about 7-13 inch long pieces and tied Bothe ends a knot in the end, making a circle......can be used from pony tail ties.......or I use them in the kitchen - the longer version and roll up food bags, as in flour, meal, bagged open partial mixes......and I stretch them over whatever I want to tape or clip up...........to wash later, just place in water in warm water, soapy (coffee cup) for 1 min and roll around and then rinse and re-use.........I have been doing this for a long time......and also used these when we were required to wear mask to the dr. office........these lycra pieces did not hurt the ears..(the fabric stores during covid sold out of elastic....wow ).......so I made lots of these and share them with others.........they are so so handy......you will find other uses for them as in holding cords together and more.

Another Butt heel bread idea.. I take my butt ends and put them in the toaster, let them air dry over night and then run through the food processor.. My own bread crumbs for baking fish, chicken etc I add a little Italian Seasoning to mine and shake up the container. Easy and not wasteful. I haven't bought Panko Crumbs in years. Btw if you have thicker bread slices you might have to toast it twice in the toaster. Anna In Ohio

Plastic bags I just keep some (not all) in another plastic bag. (Hanging up). Will be looking into the foil thing to sharpen all my blades. Lol. Cool and clever tips! Lol. I guess my one thing is to use clothes pins for food storage clips. And then using peroxide a lot for laundry and cleaning (esp with pets and any other organic messes or stains. Enzyme power! It just doesn’t get any better than a cheap product “eating up” organic material and making it go away. Lol).

Hi Jennifer, Thanks for all the great ideas you & your followers have given us. I use the saucer part of a cup/saucer for plant dishes to catch water or just to dress up a faux plant so it looks even more real. It's good for a cracker plate or chip plate if you want to keep them from getting soggy in a dinner plate, even a small charqutery dish for the cheese etc. Also jewelry holder on a dresser or next to the kitchen sink for those that remove rings/bracelets. good for plants outside on the patio to dress it up also.

I love using the lint from the dryer in the toilet or paper towel roll for camping to start the fire… it helps the fire start fast …

I make dog snacks with the heel of the bread, I break it up into bite size pieces and smother it with bacon grease. I keep it in the fridge and give one to my dog every so often. The bacon grease preserves the bread.

Bacon grease is unhealthy for humans. It is also unhealthy for dogs as well. There are much healthier options for treats for your dog like fresh broccoli or carrots. Giving your dog bacon grease will result in vet bills, not to mention how horrible that the dog will have to go through being ill. Healthier options will SAVE you money, and your dog will be happier.

I get my chip clips, or rather multipurpose clips, at the Dollar Tree. It's $1.25 for 6 but they are all metal and literally last forever as long as your kids don't take them and lose them.

The multicolored set, right? I like those too! I use them for chip clips and clipping the clear bag closed inside the cereal box. I'll remember to save that clear bag for later use. I use one to attach a small towel to the wire shelf above my washer. I use it to dry the detergent and fabric softener measuring cups, after rinsing them while the washer is filling.

Jumping on the pant hanger bandwagon: I use them to hang 4 18x18 pillow covers! If you are trying to stack them it's difficult because they can be slippery. Enjoy!
