My "Everyday Cheap- skate" readers never cease to amaze me with their creativi- ty for conquering the storage challenge. WINE RACK STORES MORE. I use an inexpensive wicker wine rack with nine compartments to hold gloves, mittens, hats, doggie sweaters and the garage door opener. I hung it right next to our back door. In the gardening months, it holds a pair of work gloves and tools I often grab for quick pruning or weeding in the yard. It is amazing how helpful that non-wine rack is! -- Linda, Wis- consin TRADE CLUNKERS FOR CASH. We helped out a friend who had three "clunkers" on her acreage property. My husband loaded them on a car trailer and sold them as scrap metal. My friend received more than $500 for three cars that were com- pletely inoperable and were definite- ly not improving her property's appearance, either. The value is determined by the current cost of scrap metal, so it all depends on the timing. It's worth checking into if you have a clunker that won't run. -- Jan, Nebraska OLD SOCKS FOR SHOES. We use old socks as shoe covers when we travel. The dirt and germs from the shoes' soles don't get all over everything else in our travel bag, and we save money by not hav- ing to purchase shoe bags! -- Hilda, email ROLL OUT CHOPPED NUTS. I needed a small amount of chopped walnuts and did- n't want the mess of clean- ing up afterward. I put the amount in a plastic bag and got out my rolling pin. I lightly tapped the nuts and rolled over them, producing beautiful results. This works with larger amounts of nuts, too. -- Betty Jane, Ohio SKIP WATER DOWN THE DRAIN. When you need a small amount of hot water for anything, heat some tap water in the microwave rather than let the faucet run until the water is hot. -- Ali, email over. It is a nice gray color, lies flat in the drawer, deadens the sound and is easy to remove and clean. It cuts well with a carpet knife, and it sure beats shelf paper, which is expensive and tears over time, too. -- Jean, California Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate HAIR SPRAY EXTEN- DER. I like hair spray with a flexible hold, but almost everything out there is "maximum hold," which leaves my hair feeling very stiff. So I buy a pump spray bottle of the typical hair spray and then add water. You can experiment to get the hold you want. I usually make a mix that is half- water, so my hair spray lasts twice as long and I get the feel that I like. -- Janet, Min- nesota CARPET FOR DRAWERS. When we finished our kitchen remodel, my sister-in-law suggested that we line our kitchen drawers with a thin indoor/outdoor carpet. She had purchased an 8-foot roll for less than $20 at Home Depot and had a ton left 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.
