While you're doing that, be on the lookout for items you never thought you could use again, taking a cue from our first great reader tip: LAWN MOWER CLEANUP. I recently made an awesome discov- ery while trying to get rid of all the grass that accumulates on the underbelly of my lawn mower. I found an old long-handled spatula that I once used when barbecuing. It is the perfect width, and the long handle makes it easy to scrape under the mower. -- Pattie, Texas CARPENTER ANTS, BEGONE. We were having trouble with carpenter ants, so I read the labels from the ant traps at the store and found that the active ingredient in many of them is borax. I mixed up honey with borax to make a paste, and then I spread it around where the carpenter ants were active. Within a few weeks, the ants were gone. I don't know how effec- tive this would be with other ants, but it worked great on carpenter ants. Definitely keep this away from children and pets. -- Dwight, email CHECKS FROM COSTCO. When I needed new checks, I was going to place the same order with the company I always ordered from. Then I realized that I had paid $109.66 for four boxes of checks. So I did what any sensible 82-year -old grandma would do: I went online to Cost- co.com and ordered the duplicate checks I need- ed, and I paid only $22.10. I'm a Costco devotee and a cheap- skate, too! -- Lois, Ari- zona GIFT FOR THE NEW DAD. For baby showers where the expectant father will be present, I bring a fun and inexpensive gift. I pur- chase a small canvas tool belt -- the kind with pockets in the front and ties at the waist. I embellish it with fabric paint or markers with "Daddy's Tools." Then I fill it with fun and helpful items, such as rubber gloves, gog- gles, a clothespin (for his nose), earplugs and a sterile mask. I add a pacifier, a rubber ducky, travel-size baby powder and lotion, a small flashlight, and a CD of lullabies. Just use your imagination. It's a really fun gift, and everyone, Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate including the new dad, loves it! -- Laura, Massachusetts PATIO DOOR QUILT. I have a curtain rod above my large patio door and hang a quilt behind the curtain. It keeps the cold or heat out and looks pretty from the outside. I have been doing this for years, and it really makes a differ- ence. -- Lynn, Mississippi SAVE MONEY ON PRESCRIPTIONS. I informed my doctor that my monthly copay was $104 on a medication she had prescribed. So I asked her whether there was a cheaper medication, and she prescribed a similar one for $8. My doctor apol- ogized for not knowing what kind of costs were involved and thanked me for the feedback. -- Faye, North Dakota 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.
