Today's selec- tion of great reader tips proves that. YAHOO! ELECTRONIC ORGANIZING. Instead of organiz- ing things in three-ring binders, I make folders on my Yahoo mail page where I file my e-mails. So far, I have 24 categories, including bills, business, Facebook and health, to name a few. The best thing about this is that I can use the mail "search" function to find things. The information stays there no matter what happens to my com- puter, because it's in my stored Yahoo e-mail. -- Teresa, e-mail VASES TO GO. Each spring, my kids want to take flowers to teach- ers and coaches. To keep my good vases at home, I make disposable kid-friendly ones by trimming off the narrow tops of plastic water and juice bottles. Presto! Vases that won't break and don't have to be returned. -- Audrey, Washington MONTHS TO SPEND. In my efforts to curb spending, I decided that every other month, I wouldn't spend any more than my normal budgeted monthly amount. So because I spent money in Janu- ary, I didn't in February. And if I spend in March, I won't in April. I've been doing this for a while, and it works great. It helps me control impulse buying, elim- inates the back and forth of "should I or shouldn't I?" and really saves me money. -- Kathleen, Cal- ifornia WATER BOTTLE SOCKS. I keep water bottles in the freezer to grab for sports and activ- ities. I cut off the stretchy top of a worn sport sock to place around the bot- tom of the bottle to soak up the moisture as the bottle thaws. -- Chris, e- mail T-SHIRT PJ'S. My kids get a lot of T-shirts from church, camp and sports activities. Because they have so many, they wear them for pajamas. In the fall, I buy sweatpants on sale to complete their pajama set. In the spring, I make the sweatpants into shorts. By the time fall arrives, they have col- lected new T-shirts and need new sweatpants. -- Jill, California MARBLES IN THE LAUN- DRY. I make my own liquid laundry detergent. To keep the liquid mixed, I put a few marbles in the storage jug. When I shake the container, the marbles help mix everything. -- Christy, California Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate EFFICIENT CLEAN- ING CYCLE. Once a month, I change the box of baking soda in my refriger- ator. That same day, I run vinegar through my coffee maker. I then pour that old box of baking soda into my kitchen sink drains and fol- low it with the vinegar that just cleaned my coffeepot. Then I follow that with water that I've run through the coffee maker. I'm get- ting the most efficiency out of several household clean- ing ideas. -- Jennifer, 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.
