Main St. (Walmart Shopping Center) Recycled greetings: Save cash and Over the years, I've received many tips on how to save money on greeting cards. It's ranged from banishing cards altogether to do-it-yourself cards to sending e-cards. The sentiment in our first reader tip is wonderful. It seems to me that Susan and her husband will enjoy the next 25 years reading what they wrote during their first 25 years together. RECYCLED GREETINGS. My husband and I have been married for 25 years, and we've saved every card we've given each other. The money we have spent to express our love for each other is considerable. Recently, I organized all the cards by occasion and put them in a cardboard box. When the next occasion comes, we'll skip the retail store and instead shop in our cardboard box store. Our plan is to re-give and re-sign! I do this with my sisters, and it's always fun to see a "rerun." -- Susan, Michigan CHICKEN TACO FILLING. I have the best way to cook chicken for burritos and tacos. Spray a slow cooker with nonstick spray, and add 3 or 4 large boneless, skinless chick- en breasts. Pour 3/4-1 cup of your favorite salsa or Ro-Tel tomatoes over the chicken. Sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon of ground cumin and oregano and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder. Cover and cook on "high" for 30 minutes. Reduce to "low," and cook for 6 or 7 hours. There will be lots of liquid, which will be absorbed as you shred the chicken with two forks. Use as the basis for burritos, quesadil- las, enchiladas or tacos. Freezes well. -- Ellen, Arizona THURSD A Y GARAGE SALES. I have found that Thurs- day is the biggest sales day for garage sales. Die-hard shoppers are salivating early on Thursday morning. This is especially true on the first Thursday of the month because loads of people get paid on the first day of the month. -- Peg, Nebraska Mary Hunt CHOPSTICK CLEANUP. When washing chop- sticks, tie each pair together with a rubber band or twist-tie, and place them in the utensil rack of your dishwasher. Tying them together will prevent them from slipping through the rack. -- Angelique, Maryland HARVESTING FLOWER SEEDS. Each year while doing my spring planting, I keep in mind that I'll be harvesting the seeds Everyday Cheapskate from my outdoor flowers as the blooms dry up. I have done this for years with poppies, marigolds, cosmos and many others. The price of seeds has gone up, and the number of seeds in the packets has gone down. -- Alemap, email BATHROOM FAN TIMER. Bathroom fans can empty a home's warm or cool air quickly. Tired of forgetting to turn the fan off, we installed an inex- pensive timer in place of the on/off switch. Now when we need to run the fan, we can set it to run for a specif- ic amount of time, and it automatically shuts off. I also close the door to keep the fan from sucking the air out of the rest of the house while it's on. -- Lynnette, Tennessee Would you like to send a tip to Mary? You can email 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.
