Things get pushed to the back, and small containers get hidden behind larger items. And now that the fridge is filled to capacity with all of our holiday food, I began to wonder whether perhaps the only solution was to get a second refrig- erator. (It wasn't!) Enter the follow- ing great reader tip to save my wal- let and my sanity. Thank you, Pat! FRIDGE FINDER. The items in the back of my refrigerator are sometimes hard to reach, and often I forget what's back there. I pur- chased small Lazy Susan-style turntables and placed all the small jars and containers (jellies, mayon- naise, salad dressings) on them. Now it's easier to find what I need. -- Pat, Wisconsin QUICK LABELING. With all the various sizes of plastic contain- ers these days, the lids rarely fit all containers, even if they appear to be the same size and from the same manufacturer. I found that if I put a dot of fingernail polish on the lid and bottom of the matching con- tainer, it saves me lots of time and frustration. On one set, I put one dot; on another, I put two dots, etc. -- Reader in Texas SHAMPOO FOR HAIR SPRAY. I tried several household cleaners on the hair spray residue left on the bathroom tile, without any suc- cess. It then occurred to me that if shampoo gets hair spray out of my hair, why not off the floor, too? Just a few dots of shampoo on a wet rag removes all that sticky residue. -- Brenda, Illinois KOOL PLAY DOUGH. When I make play dough, I color it by adding a packet of unsweetened drink mix, e.g., Kool-Aid, instead of food coloring. The colors are vivid, and it has a fun smell. The kids love it! Just put it into the dry ingredients when you are mixing and let the fun begin. -- Mary, New York QUICK CAKE DECORATING. My favorite way to decorate a frost- ed cake quickly is to take a cookie cutter, place it on top of the frosting and pour sprinkles inside the cook- ie cutter. When you lift the cutter off, you will have a perfectly sprin- kled design. -- Nancy, e-mail GREASING ZIPPERS. If the zipper won't zip on one of your jackets after it has gone through the wash, spray the end with a little cooking spray. With a little lubrica- tion, the zipper catches and then glides easily. -- Cathy, California WINDEX KILLS ANTS. Don't use ant spray to kill ants. The fumes are terrible and can be very harmful. A much better alternative -- and one that works like a charm -- is Windex. -- Mary, Califor- nia Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate LAUNDRY SOAP GIFTS. When I made Mary's homemade pow- dered laundry soap, I real- ized just how pretty it is. So my husband and I are making up a few batches for Christmas gifts. We're putting them in wide- mouth glass jars, and I'm making cards from gro- cery bags with the direc- tions for how to use and make the soap. -- Karen, e- mail Would you like to send a tip to Mary? You can e-mail her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2135, Paramount, CA 90723. Include your first and last name and state. Mary Hunt is the founder of www.DebtProofLiving.com and author of 18 books, including "Debt-Proof Living" and "Tiptionary 2." Holidays come to life at local parks Volunteers and staff are unfurling ribbons, wrapping garlands, and affixing swags to adorn the historic Camden House in Whiskeytown’s Tower House Historic District, and the Court- house Museum in Shasta State Historic Park. On Saturday, December 4 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., visitors and travel- ers will enjoy the festive decorations at the parks’ annual "Old Time Holi- day" celebrations, which will run concurrently. Events at both parks are free, and will go ahead come rain or shine. "The annual free wreath-making event is back," said Whiskeytown Superintendent Jim Mile- stone, referring to the ever-popular craft activity where visitors can make and take home their own holiday wreath. "This is a chance for visitors and their families, some of whom have made a fami- ly tradition of attending this event, to join in the festivities in the parks and take some holiday cheer home with them." Visi- tors with a knack for arts and crafts will also enjoy the activities offered in Shasta State Historic Park. "To light up the holidays and bring home some festive, sweet treats, visitors can make a hand- dipped candle and deco- rate cookies in the Blumb Bakery at Shasta State Historic Park," added Supervising State Park Ranger Lori Martin. Shasta State Historic Park will offer free entrance into the Court- house Museum, shopping at the 1800’s general store and decorating cookies in the historic Blumb bak- ery. Other activities will feature a ‘49er miner’s tent camp and candle making. Western Star Lodge No.2, the oldest Masonic Lodge in Cali- fornia, and still active in the town of Shasta, will offer a scrumptious breakfast for a small fee 7:30-11 a.m. In addition to wreath making, activities at Whiskeytown’s Tower House Historic District will include a perfor- mance of cowboy songs and dance by students from the French Gulch School. The Camden House will be open for tours and a self-guided tour of the orchard will be available. Visitors will not be required to display a pass on their vehicles within the Tower House Historic District.
