I'm embarrassed to say in fifty ...yes, fifty years of housekeeping and cooking, I never saw these tabs on the sides of foil and plastic wrap rolls, to hold the roll in place. š
Leave it up to Pinterest to get me up to date!
And you know how your straw keeps popping up when you put it in a can of soda? Well, the hole in the tab will hold it in place....genius.
I always buy natural peanut butter with no sugar added but it's a pain to mix in the oil that rises to the top. Now I turn the jar upside down when I put it in the pantry. When I'm ready to use it, I stir it well and keep it in the fridge, right -side up. And it stays perfectly mixed. Voila!
I saw this hint in a cooking magazine. Just a rubber band holding a folded paper towel around your oil bottle to catch drips. Doesn't cost anything to do and when the bottle is empty, just pitch it!

This one I saw a few years ago and I've been using the idea ever since. Tuck your sheet sets inside one of the matching pillowcases to keep the set together! No more searching for that lost pillow case and look how neat the linen closet stays!What's your favorite hint?

Enjoy your week!
Thanks for the invite...I'll be right over!
Deletewho knew you could rest the spoon on the hole in the pan? I'm going to check now and see if my foil actually has a hole in the end too! Great post.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I read that article I had to run to the kitchen and check my foil box!!
DeleteI knew a few of these tips, but picked up some I'd never seen before. Thanks for sharing at Talk of the Town - Your great post will be featured next week at Talk of the Town!
ReplyDeleteThanks Angie! Seems like there's always new things to learn.
DeleteCan't pick a favorite ... they are all wonderful ideas. The only one I already knew was the tabs on the plastic wrap...learned that a few years ago and couldn't believe I didn't know that one sooner.
ReplyDeleteGreat tips...thanks so much for sharing at AMAZE ME MONDAY!
Blessings,
Cindy
Thank you, Cindy for your comment and for hosting the party each week!
DeleteI've kept our bed linen like that for years, ever since I saw or read it somewhere, it really is such an easy system. What I've never thought to do is the paper towel around the oil bottle. I'm SO doing that in a moment - I hate that horrible sticky oil patch you get in the cupboard. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Julia. I hate the dried oil that sticks to the bottle and then to your hands!Have a blessed weekend.
DeleteGreat tips. The one for the spoon holder is so obvious I should have thought of it. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteWell, depending on the size of the spoon handle it might not work, but if it does all the better!
DeleteWOW, there are some super cool things I have just learnt here tonight! I use the sheets in the pillow case already but will be trying some of the others for sure!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these super cool ideas over at Waste Not Wednesday this week :-)
Thanks so much Sam for checking out my post!
DeleteSo many great and very useful tips! The sheets kept in pillow case is what I will definitely do. Thank you for sharing.

ReplyDeleteThank you Amy, and I hope you'll try these out! Have a great weekend.
DeleteI found that sheet trick at Martha Steward site some years ago and it changed my life, seriously! Sometimes I leave the closet doors open so guests can enjoy the view too. Thanks for sharing all those other tricks
ReplyDeleteThis trick keeps the linen closet so neat! I hope you'll try some of the other hints and have a blessed weekend.
