"When I wash my windows, I wash the outside horizontal and the the inside vertical.
This way I can easily tell if the streaks are on the inside or out. Huge timesaver."
"I write my grocery store list in the order I walk through the store. Keeps me organized and I don’t have to walk all over the store."
"90%+ of what I know how to do DIY is learned from YouTube. There is *so much* good free content out there.
A basic set of tools and some time has saved me enough money over the years that it became the down payment for a house.
Plus, I just like learning how to do things and get a sense of satisfaction from completing something challenging/new and knowing I was able to fix it."
"Use a vegetable peeler to shave off thin bits of hard cold butter that will spread on bread/toast much easier!"
"The no empty hands rule. There is always something that can be put away. Going upstairs, take something that goes there. Helps keep the clutter from building up in the usual spots aka any flat surface."
"Vinegar and Dawn soap will clean pretty much everything in your house. Everything."
"Heating taco shells in the oven by hanging them upside down on the oven rack – they stay open that way and are easier to fill."
"If you need to remember whether or not you’ve done something (like locking a door) just do the task then repeat a nonsensical mantra three times like dolphin tits dolphin tits dolphin tits. When you think back you’ll immediately remember the dumb phrase and that you’ve completed the thing."
"I book flights, cars, and hotels by searching with the big aggregate sights to find the deals, then contact the firms directly to make the booking.
The price is frequently the same and sometimes lower. But the big advantage is if something goes wrong – it makes it a lot easier to fix because you don’t need to go through the third party. This has saved me a couple of times when my itinerary changed.
It has also saved me a significant amount of money if the third party firm charges large ‘service’ fees – e.g., AirBnB (many holiday rentals put listings on AirBnB but have their own online presence too)."
"When parking in a big ramp (mall, airport, parking garage), take a quick photo of a sign that reminds you of the location."
"If a business/medical center says you need to talk to another number and offers to transfer you, always get the number. That way you don’t have to call the wrong number if it doesn’t connect."
"This one might be a bit lame, but if your propane tank (20#, for the gas grill or other) is expired and the guy can’t fuel you up, just take it to a big box with an exchange, Home Depot/any blue rhino/etc. no questions, new tank."
"Hair conditioner works very well as a shaving cream. Smells better, too, usually."
"Use the big half of an eggshell to remove little bits of shell that have fallen in the egg."
"This is a small one but aiming a light at the ceiling instead of at whatever you’re looking at. It’ll illuminate the whole room and makes looking around even easier."
"Clean your house before leaving on vacation so you can come home to a welcoming and clean house with no chores to follow up on."
"Kitchen plastic wrap in the freezer. No more sticking."
