Dear Mary: When staying overnight at a hotel, is it steal- ing to take unused shampoo and conditioner? -- W. R., e- mail Dear W. R.: No. Single- use items like shampoo, lotion and conditioner are amenities that you purchase when you rent a room in some hotels. Whether you use them on the premises or not, they are yours. I once asked a hotel maid about this. She said her team is instructed to throw away all unused products from a previous guest, even if they appear to have not been opened. That cinched it for me. When I stay at hotels, I take the soap, shampoo and sewing kits, and even those black sponges meant to spruce up your shoes. Dear Mary: I hate to admit this because I live in the Deep South, but I don't make very good iced tea. I love it unsweetened (unlike my Southern friends and family), but the tea I make is just not the good tea I drink in restaurants. Can you help me? -- Sammie B., Alabama Dear Sammie: There are many ways to make iced tea, and I'm sure I've tried them all. I used to make it in the sun, but I stopped when I learned that tea left to steep in the hot sun can harbor dangerous bacte- ria. Other methods I tried either took too long or turned out cloudy, bitter tea. I even tried a couple of tea makers, only to be terribly disappointed. Then, I hit on the perfect method. I invested $25 in a Hamil- ton Beach Electric Iced Tea Maker. I could not have designed a better product. It just works. I can make two quarts of iced tea in less than 10 minutes. It comes out the same every time: perfect- ly clear, perfectly steeped and delicious. The pitcher is the perfect size and shape to fit nice- ly in the refrigerator, and it is attractive enough for the table. which stop the four credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian, Inno- vis, and TransUnion) from selling your credit information to direct marketers. You will be required to Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate Dear Mary: How do you stop the flood of solicitations for credit cards? Is there a "do not mail" list you can add your name to? -- Susan B., e-mail Dear Susan: You can go to www.OptOutPrescreen.com or call (888) 5-OPT-OUT (888-567-8688). These are the credit reporting industry's opt-in/opt-out resources, give your social security number. Don't worry. The credit agencies already have that. This will simply allow them to match you to your credit files. You can opt out for a five-year peri- od or permanently. You can always opt in again if you decide you'd like to start receiving these offers in the future. Credit card companies get consumer information from many sources, so, while opting out will con- siderably slow down credit card offers, the solicita- tions won't necessarily stop completely.
