Tone down the cost of printer cartridges Some of the equipment in our lives we purchase, we use and then we replace. Then there is the equipment that requires maintenance or supplies. Printers fall into that category, and all because of the cartridges. I've received many tips on how to prolong the life of a printer car- tridge, but today Angel shares how to be prepared when it's time to purchase new cartridges. PAY THE PRINTER. The ink cartridges for our printer cost $75 each (or $200 for all four colors, when purchased together). Our budget is very tight, so we devel- oped a plan on how to save the money. We estimated that each printed page cost 10 cents, so I put a coin bank by the computer. Each time we print, we put a dime in the bank. Doing this accomplishes two things: It ensures that we aren't hit with a big expense all at once, and it makes us aware that printing costs money. We are now much better stewards with this resource. -- Angel, Minnesota CREASE REMEDY. To remove the crease made from old hem lines on pants, skirts and sleeves, I mix together equal amounts of dis- tilled vinegar and water. I saturate a clean cloth with the mixture, wring it out and lay it over the hem line. I put a dry cloth on top of the wet one and iron. Presto, the line disappears and with no lingering odor. -- Peggy, California EXTRA SWEET CORN. Boiling corn in salt water can make it tough. Instead, I add about 2 tablespoons of sugar for every four ears of corn I'm cooking. -- Harold, Indiana SAFE ANT BAITS. I use an environmentally safe and inexpensive way to exterminate car- penter ants and sugar ants from my home and yard. Mix together three parts pure maple syrup, one part water and one part borax. Even with the borax, the mixture has a syrup consistency. Pour into jar lids or plastic lids and place indoors or out, wherever you see trails of ants. Placing one lid at each trail is sufficient. The ants will drink the mixture and take it back to their colony. The colony will be dead within a week. To keep the baits moist, add a little water. To keep pets and birds out of the bait, cover the top of the lid and leave two sides open for ants Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate to travel through. -- Matthew, MA BULLDOG FOOD CLIPS. I recently ran out of food bag clips, and instead of buying more, I used a medium-size "bulldog clip" from the stationery store. These work better than a clothes- pin, as it won't slide off the package. Since these come in various sizes, having an assortments allows me to adjust for how thin or full the bag top is rolled. At an aver- age of $2.00 for a small tub holding 20 to 30 clips, it costs far less than the $5 typically charged for a pack of three bag clips. Bulldog clips also come in various colors for only a few cents more. -- Juli, California Would you like to send a tip to Mary?
