A plastic container with a rubber band sticking out, to help with opening.

Pop Your Plastic LidI have a hard time getting the lids off my Tupperware! Dollar store containers are a good buy but nearly impossible to pop the lid on. I save the rubber bands that come around broccoli and other vegetables for further use. Cut the rubber band and put it under the lid and snap the lid shut.

A blue broom with yellow bristles on a white background.

Use A Broom To Clean Bathtub When PregnantThis is a way to get no "ring around the tub" when you're pregnant and the belly bump gets in the way of your bending over to clean the bathtub. Simply buy a cheap broom from the Dollar Store and use it specifically to "scrub/sweep" that tub sparkling clean.

Popsicle Stick Geometric SculptureThis intriguing sculpture is made out of a bunch of equilateral triangles made from popsicle sticks and hot glue. If you add LED lights or votives inside, it makes a fantastic lamp. The inspiration for this came from a set of polyhedral gamer's dice, which I think are so cool. Give this craft a try!

Tobias Nadler (Chipin) - brown and tan dog

Tobias Nadler (Chipin)I was at the bank and noticed a puppy walk in, thinking I would get to pet a puppy I turned to finish my banking.

One of the best withdrawals I ever made from the bank.

Thrifty Tip Contest (November 1 - December 31, 2018) Winners

A goodie bag with candy and other items.
