Discovering the cheaper alternative is what readers of this column do so well. And when they share their discoveries with all of us, it's a good day! HEADLIGHT MAGIC. The plastic headlights on my old car had yellowed, and replacing them was going to be costly. The kit to restore them cost $15 at the auto parts store, so I decided to try Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. It worked great. I suggest testing a small area first. You can always buy the headlight kit, but Mr. Clean Magic Eraser will save you money. -- Ginny, Wiscon- sin INSIDE THE SALE. Pillow forms can be very expensive. When I need one, I shop the clearance sales at my local department store. I find hideously ugly pillows that no one would buy, for a much, much lower price than I would pay for a pillow form at a fabric store. The key is to find pillows with a zipper, or at least make sure there is a liner between the stuffing and the cover. I recently purchased two down throw pillows for $5 each. I removed the ugly Christmas- themed cover and sewed new attractive covers that now deco- rate my couch and living room. -- Jennifer, Oregon BABY THE STAIN- LESS. My stain- less steel stove always had finger- prints and smudges. I would clean it and polish it, but it never stayed clean. I recently got a new stainless steel dish- washer, and my cleaning lady told me she only uses baby oil to clean stainless steel appliances. I tried it, and it works beautifully. It not only cleans, but it lasts a long time, too. My stove and dishwasher look great all the time. I wipe the baby oil on gently and then wipe it again with a clean, soft cloth. -- Bonita, Missouri CRACKER CRUNCH. A deli- cious and inexpensive alternative to croutons is to break up crackers and put them in salads. Any cracker works well. I love those little oyster crackers. I've grown to actually pre- fer crackers to croutons! -- Rachel, email PLANT FOOD RECIPE. Instead of buying expensive plant Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate food, I mix 2 tablespoons of Epsom salts in a gallon of water. I water my plants once a week with this solu- tion. My plants love it, especially my Geraniums. -- Marj, Kentucky DAILY DOGGIE SCRAPS. I keep a small covered bowl on my coun- tertop. During the day, when I open a can of veg- gies or fruit and I don't want the liquid, I pour it into the bowl. Depending on what my family has for dinner, I may scrape the food from the pots and dishes into the bowl, too. For their evening meal, I take the day's tasty mixture and add it to my dogs' food. -- Jil, email Would you like to send a tip to Mary?
