GUARANTEED. Boost garage sale profits with mystery bags Spring seems to mark the begin- ning of garage sale season, and whether you're planning one for yourself or for a charity event, you may want to take a cue from our first great reader tip. MYSTERY BAGS. We manage a flea market for our local heritage center, and grab bags are a huge seller. In the past, we put small items in little paper bags and labeled them "Mystery Toy Bags." Women began asking for them, so we started selling "Ladies' Mystery Bags." Then the men wanted them, so we sell "Men's Mystery Bags," too. They go for a quarter, and last year we sold 1,200 bags. People love them and buy them for party treats, gag gifts, stocking stuffers, whatever. -- Mary, Wisconsin CORD LABELING. In our house, we have multiple cords to charge everything from cell phones and cameras to hand-held game devices. I label the cords with tape and include the owner of the device (husband, son, etc.) and to what device the cord belongs. I have a label-maker, which makes them neat and easy to read. I wrap the label around the cord, and the sticky side adheres to itself. No more guessing or wanting to hide the cords. -- Brenda, Pennsylvania GREEN COFFEE BEANS. We buy green coffee beans and roast them ourselves. We get our beans from Theta Ridge Coffee (http://www.ThetaRidgeCof- fee.com), whose prices beat those of every other online coffee bean supplier we've found. -- Amy, Georgia BLA CK- CLO THING REFRESHER. My styl- ist friend has to wear all black at the salon where she works. Because black fades quickly, she had to replenish her wardrobe frequently, which was becoming expensive. She now uses Rit clothing dye to refresh her black wardrobe items. It's like an anti-aging treatment for black washable cloth- ing. I keep this in mind when I'm shopping in my local thrift shops, too. -- Anne, e-mail dren, and I suddenly didn't have a spare room for them to play in. I allocated one-half of a walk-in clos- et as a "reading corner," complete with floor pillows, a milk crate with a lamp, and a hanging mesh bag with toys. The kids love their reading room. -- Judy, Washington LEMONY-FRESH Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate DIAPER RASH SOLUTION. When my son was a baby, he would get diaper rash. My doctor told me to mix the antacid liquid Maalox and cornstarch to make a paste and then put it on the rash. Within a few hours, the rash would be gone. -- Barbara, Florida GRANNY READING ROOM. I had to move from my two-bedroom apartment to a place with a room- mate. I help care for my grandchil- MICROWAVE. I have four kids, so our microwave needs cleaning constantly. I've found that the best -- and greenest -- way to clean it is to cut a lemon in half and place one or both halves, depending on the degree of cleaning needed, into the microwave and cook the lemon on high for two to three minutes. Then just wipe down the top, sides and bottom. Works great. - - Debrah, Texas Would you like to send a tip to Mary?
