Less waste using the ice cube method I am embarrassed to admit how often I throw out perfectly good food, simply because it doesn't appear to be enough for any good purpose. Take tomato paste, for example. Often a recipe will call for less than a full can. So what do I do with the last few tablespoons of paste, or the half-can of sweet corn, or the rest of so many other ingredients that appear to be use- less? I throw it out. Today's first tip- ster has challenged me to change my ways. I'm getting a stack of ice cube trays, and I'm going to put them to good use. ICE CUBE TRAYS. Baby food, curry pastes, pizza sauce, home- made soup stocks and any number of food items are all easily frozen and thawed for use, using the ice cube tray strategy. If you only want to buy a half-dozen trays or so, freeze your selected stock, paste or puree, and then empty the cubes into a gallon freezer bag or reusable container. Now you have a handy supply of these items in single por- tion quantities. The amount you'll need in the future is as close as your freezer. -- Nora, email BUBBLE WRAP FIRE- WORKS. This past Fourth of July, I came up with a great solution for little ones and firecrackers. My 5- year-old grandson got a kick out of riding and stomping on bubble wrap. It makes the same noise as firecrackers, but without the fear and strong smell. This will be fun to do again on New Year's Eve. -- Melanie, Ohio FRENCH TOAST MUFFINS. Take any leftover bread bits from the fridge -- the ends, tops and other pieces. Dip them in regular French toast batter (I use eggs, milk and vanilla), and spoon them into pre- sprayed muffin tins (about 3/4 full). Bake in 350 F oven for about 20 minutes. Viola! Hands- free French toast that is easy and uses up the last crumbs of your loaves. If you want to be fancy, you can always sprinkle brown sugar on top. It's delicious! -- Holly, Col- orado HOTEL'S BUSINESS CARD. When staying in an unfamiliar place or country, take a business card of the hotel with you when you are out and about. That way, if you have to give directions to a taxi to get back to your hotel, you will have the information with you. -- Joyce, email BOTTLE TO GO. When travel- ing, take an empty water bottle through airport security. Once through, fill from any airport water fountain. -- Robin, email LOTION CONSOLI- Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate DATION. Before throwing out lotion containers that appear to be empty, I heat the lotion containers in the microwave for about 20 seconds. The lotion becomes liquid and that allows me to easily consol- idate all of the leftover amounts of lotion into one container. The lotion thick- ens after cooling. I prefer to use the same brand of lotion for this, as I have discovered not all lotions are created equal -- Nancy, Texas 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. Mary Hunt is the founder of www.DebtProofLiving.com and author of 18 books, including "Debt-Proof Living" and "Tiptionary 2." Quitting smoking just got easier For a limited time, the California Smokers' Helpline is sending callers from Tehama County free nicotine patches. Eligible tobacco users who call 1-800-NO-BUTTS and enroll in the free telephone-based quitting program will receive a free two-week starter kit of patches, while the supplies last. "The Helpline has already served over half a million smokers," said Christopher Anderson, the Helpline's program director. "We hope this new opportunity will motivate even more people to give quitting a try." The patches are an FDA-approved treatment proven to help smokers kick the habit. They release nicotine into the blood stream through the skin, reducing withdrawal symptoms and slowly weaning smokers off nicotine. Tehama County was one of 34 counties in California selected to participate in this program. All 34 counties have an adult smoking prevalence rate of 14 percent or higher, according to the 2008 California Tobacco Survey. In comparison, the 2010 statewide adult smoking rate is 11.9 percent. This new program is part of a nationwide effort called Communities Putting Prevention to Work, which aims to improve health and lower medical costs by preventing diseases, such as those caused by tobacco use. "Helpline counseling doubles smokers' chance of success in quitting," said Anderson. "People who use both counseling and a quitting aid such as the patch, have the best chance of quitting for good. So now is a perfect time to make that call and get started." The free patches will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis to those who call. Services in Spanish are available at 1-800-NO-FUME. Callers to the Smokers' Helpline may receive free one-on-one support from a trained cessation counselor, a self-help booklet and referral to local quit-smoking pro- grams. It is open Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Helpline has specialized services for pregnant smokers, tobacco chewers and teens.
