Helpful Kitchen Hints from
Skinflint $$ saving people
-- Save and freeze the water when steaming vegetables to be re-used in making broths and stews.
-- Leftovers can be used to make soup or stew. When you have small amounts of leftovers,like corn, peas, carrots, onions,
chicken, freeze them and when you have acqired enough, use to make up a yummy homemade soup. Don't want to freeze them,
or thinking they will get lost in freezer, then save them in refridgerator and make up an end of the week soup or stew.
-- Once empty, save those spice and herb containers and refill with spices and herbs purchased in bulk. Purchasing
bulk saves $$.

Keep this on the Fridge - Did You Know That?
Drinking two glasses
of Gatorade can relieve headache pain almost immediately -- without the unpleasant side effects caused by traditional "pain
relievers."
Did you know that Colgate toothpaste makes an excellent salve for burns.
Before you head to the drugstore for a high-priced inhaler filled with mysterious chemicals, try chewing on a couple
of curiously strong Altoids peppermints. They'll clear up your stuffed nose.
Achy muscles from a bout
of the flu? Mix 1 Tablespoon of horseradish in 1 cup of olive oil. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes, then apply it as a
massage oil, for instant relief for aching muscles.
Sore throat? Just mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with 1/4
cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day. The vinegar kills the bacteria.
Cure urinary tract
infections with Alka-Seltzer . Just dissolve two tablets in a glass of water and drink it at the onset of the symptoms. Alka-Seltzer
begins eliminating urinary tract infections almost instantly -- even though the product was never been advertised for this
use. (Note: Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold Medicine is not the same..and contains aspirin, which can cause stomach bleeding
if you have ulcers.)
Honey remedy for skin blemishes... Cover the blemish with a dab of honey and place
a Band-Aid over it. Honey kills the bacteria, keeps the skin sterile, and speeds healing. Works overnight.
Listerine therapy for toenail fungus... Get rid of unsightly toenail fungus by soaking your toes in Listerine mouthwash.
The powerful antiseptic leaves your toenails looking healthy again.
Easy eyeglass protection... To
prevent the screws in eyeglasses from loosening, apply a small drop of Maybelline Crystal Clear nail polish to the threads
of the screws before tightening them.
Coca-Cola cure for rust... Forget those expensive rust removers.
Just saturate an abrasive sponge with Coca Cola and scrub the rust stain. The phosphoric acid in the coke is what
gets the job done.
Cleaning liquid that doubles as bug killer... If menacing bees, wasps, hornets,
or yellow jackets get in your home and you can't find the insecticide, try a spray of Formula 409. Insects drop to the ground
instantly.
Smart splinter remover...just pour a drop of Elmer's Glue-All over the splinter, let dry,
and peel the dried glue off the skin. The splinter sticks to the dried glue.
Hunt's tomato paste boil
cure....cover the boil with Hunt's tomato paste as a compress. The acids from the tomatoes soothe the pain and bring the boil
to a head.
Balm for broken blisters...To disinfect a broken blister, dab on a few drops of Listerine
... a powerful antiseptic.
Heinz vinegar to heal bruises... Soak a cotton ball in white vinegar and
apply it to the bruise for 1 hour. The vinegar reduces the blueness and speeds up the healing process.

fleas instantly. Dawn dish washing liquid does the trick. Add a few drops to your dog's bath and shampoo the animal thoroughly.
Rinse well to avoid skin irritations. Goodbye fleas.
Rainy day cure for dog odor... Next time your
dog comes in from the rain, simply wipe down the animal with Bounce or any dryer sheet, instantly making your dog smell
springtime fresh.
Eliminate ear mites... All it takes is a few drops of Wesson corn oil in your cat's
ear. Massage it in, then clean with a cotton ball. Repeat daily for 3 days. The oil soothes the cat's skin, smothers
the mites, and accelerates healing.
Quaker Oats for fast pain relief....It's not for breakfast anymore!
Mix 2 cups of Quaker Oats and 1 cup of water in a bowl and warm in the microwave for 1 minute, cool slightly, and apply the
mixture to your hands for soothing relief from arthritis pain.
