Let these great reader tips inspire you: PERFECT PORCH. We had a rust- ed metal rack in the bathroom. It was the kind that has shelves and sits over the toilet. When we got a new shelf, my husband cleaned and painted the old one with rustproof paint. Then he attached it to the wall on our front porch. Now I have a beautiful unit for my small plants, statues and decorative watering cans. I put a larger plant under it that gets watered from the plants above. Visitors love it. They always ask where they can get one for their porch. -- Aleta, e-mail SHEET SHAKE. I use retired bed- sheets in my car to keep dirt, grime and other things that might leak from soil- ing the car's interior. I haul everything from plants to motorcycle and vehicle parts in my SUV, so this is a great way to keep things nice. When there is dirt, all you have to do is pull out the sheet and shake. It has saved me a lot of work on carpet cleaning and vac- uuming. -- Connie R., e-mail METAL-MAKER. You can sell an old car for the metal weight to a compa- ny that recycles junk autos. Most junkyards are equipped and eager to pick your car up for free and pay you for the metal. I live in a small town, and we have three junkyards that haul autos away to crush them. After that, the flattened cars go to metal mills, which chip them into smaller pieces and sell them to other com- panies. It's a great way to recycle. Processing metals means less mining and landfill waste and a way to bring in some cash! -- Car- oline C., e-mail Mary Hunt TRASH KEEPER. If you buy pet food, use the empty bags for your garbage. It saves you from having to buy expensive plastic bags. To keep your trash from spilling, simply staple the top together. An ordinary paper stapler works well. -- Hermie S., e- mail PAPER SAVER. I recently got a good shredder at work that shreds almost anything into small pieces. We ship truck parts and acces- sories all over the United States, so I save the shreds for packing material. I also take whole pieces of used paper, cut them in half with the paper cutter and staple them together for the mechanics to use as scrap paper next to their phones. This saves me from having to buy notepads. -- Cathy S., Florida Everyday Cheapskate GREASE GRABBER. I use an old, worn-out doormat under my grill. It catches all the drips and has rubber backing, which keeps my wooden deck free of grease. - - Sue C., Pennsylvania Would you like to send a tip to Mary?
