What to do with leftover pancake batter
Did you make way too much pancake batter?
Cook it up, and then freeze the pancakes. They make a terrific fast meal on those busy mornings.
One or two 3 inch pancakes cook up in about 45 seconds in the microwave, and cost tons less than store bought packaged frozen pancakes. | | | | | | Heidi in Philomath, Or | Tips Published: 1

How to save money with a concrete grocery list
I found that when I go to the store without a grocery list I somehow always spend more money. Write a concrete grocery list, and be specific too. For example Ajax dishwashing soap and Tide detergent - the large box. When you write things like "cleaning products", like that you will be buying one of everything. Stick strictly to that list when you go to the store. Don’t put anything in the cart that’s not on the list, no matter how tempting it is, and you’ll come out of the store saving a bundle. | | | | | | jacqueline in tempe, arizona | Tips Published: 1

How to help a child keep their room organized
Start by cleaning your child's room the way you would like it to be done. Be sure it is realistic based on your child's age and abilities. Then take digital photos of each area of the room. If you want drawers to be a certain way, take photos of those while opened also. Print out the photos and place them in a small photo album or laminate them and post them behind the door or inside the closet door. Be sure to acknowledge when the room is looking great, too! | | | | | | Denise in Rochester, NY | Tips Published: 2

How to save money with military discounts
If you have a spouse or child in the military (even if they are retired, or a Reservist) always ask before paying if the store or establishment offers a military discount. Many retail establishments offer at least 10% off a purchase, though it may not always be publicized. Depending on the purchase amount you can save substantially. Some will require you to show a military id, but others will just ask who is in the military and what branch they are in. Just ask. | | | | | | Denise in Rochester, NY | Tips Published: 2

Get the brassiness out of blonde hair
If you bleach your hair or have naturally blonde hair and you notice it getting a little brassy looking, just wash your hair with regular blue Dawn dishwashing liquid then condition as usual. You will notice the brassy parts are more natural now. | | | | | | angela in lavinia, tennessee | Tips Published: 3

How to touch up faded color
If you are coloring your hair at home and you notice after a couple of weeks that it has started to fade a little, just buy an extra box of color, and mix it with your regular shampoo. Shampoo as usual and rinse. You will notice some color and extra shine back in your hair. | | | | | | angela in lavinia, tennessee | Tips Published: 3

Changing your cars oil
Climb under, jack up the front if needed, and look for your oil pain (bottom most part of the engine). There will be a bolt sticking out. This is your drain plug. Remove it and let oil drain into a container. Next locate your oil filter and spin that off. Replace it with a new filter and tighten. Fill back up with oil (check manual) and all done! | | | | | | Ian in North Windham, CT | Tips Published: 4

Cleaning a fish for consumption
Heads or Tails? Starting with either is fine. Cut off the tail. Now cut off the head starting on the bottom of the fish just behind the two small pectoral fins. Make an incision from the anus, strait forward to the end of the belly. Now use your fingers to pull out the entrails, and rinse. All done! | | | | | | Ian in North Windham, CT | Tips Published: 4

How to make a back scratcher
Take several wire cloths hangers. Using cutters, cut the hooks off, and using pliers straiten out the remains leave about 2-3 inches of the hangers exposed on one end, and wrap the remaining portion of the hangers with electrical tape. Now bend even sized hooks on the exposed ends of the hangers, and presto, you got a back scratcher. Use gently as you can truly scratch your back. | | | | | | Ian in North Windham, CT | Tips Published: 4
