I am all about saving money in and around the home while doing the job right the first time.
Bananarama
Pull bananas apart before displaying them in your fruit bowl. If you leave them connected at the stem, they’ll ripen faster and go brown quicker.
Flexible vacuum
To suck up hard-to-reach gunk under your fridge, or behind a bookshelf, insert an empty paper towel roll into the end of your vacuum cleaner and bend, or flatten it, to squeeze into these difficult spots.
Buying pepper
Not sure why, but a pepper with three bumps on the bottom is sweeter than one with four. Oh, but four bumps makes for a crunchier, firmer pepper, so you should weigh up crunch vs. sweet when picking out your pepper!
Fending off weeds
Use the newspaper as mulch and deter noxious weeds. Simply wet the sheets and put the layers around your plants and garden beds, covering with soil as you go. The weeds won’t be able to get through the wet newspaper layers.
So cheesy
Wrap cheese chunks in aluminium foil and store in the fridge to keep your cheddar fresher for longer and to keep mould out.
Mozzies be gone!
If you have the kind of blood that attracts mosquitoes like a moth to a flame, then listen up. To keep the pesky blood suckers at bay, place a fabric softener dryer sheet in your pocket. Mosquitoes are repelled by the scent and you’ll smell like summer breeze all night!
Handy hint 7 – crispy leftover pizza
To reheat a pizza so that the base is out-of-the-oven crisp, heat your leftover slices in a fry pan on low-medium heat on the stove until warm and wave goodbye to the days of soggy microwave pizza.
Handy hint 8 – the power of garlic
Add garlic immediately to a recipe if you want a subtle taste and towards the end to blast it with flavour.
Handy hint 9- getting rid of ants
It may sound cruel, but if you have an ant problem, desperate times call for desperate measures. Put small piles of polenta where you see ants and they’ll gobble it up, return ‘home’ and won’t be able to digest it. Your ant problem (and the ants) will soon be dead.
