Keeping Flies Away at a Picnic

When going on a picnic, here is a thrifty way to cover food to keep those pesky bugs from enjoying your lunch too. Instead of buying those expensive plastic food covers, purchase shower caps from your local Dollar Tree. They work perfect and are very cheap. You can get 15 shower caps for $1.00.

While it is true that the caps keep the bowls covered, the plastic coverd bowls can be stacked and it they turn over there are no spills. I think they are worth the money because they last a long time.

The best way to keep flies away is if you put cheese at every corner of the blanket. Ants hate cheese, they will go away in no time. (01/01/2006)
