I mean, who doesn't love to read a great money- or time-saving tip? Each week, I hear from Everyday Cheapskate readers, sharing with me a tip or raving about one they read in this column. I've written several tip books. "Tiptionary2: 2,300 More Ways to Save Time and Money Every Day," features a fabulously fun col- lection of short, to-the-point tips for how to do things cheaper, better and faster! It's an encyclopedia of down-to-earth ideas for making your everyday life less hectic and more enjoyable. Here's a peek inside: STARRED RIGHT (Page 16). Mark your toddler's right shoe with a special mark like a heart or star. You'll be able to teach right from left while you teach how to put shoes on the correct feet. VISUAL ORDER (Page 41). In order to remind everyone in your family what has to be done in order to call a room in the house "clean," take pictures of each room and put them in a flip photo album. On the reverse side of the photos, list the chores to be done in each room. If someone asks if a room is clean enough, you can just tell them to check the list. WRAPPING PAPER CADDY (Page 138). Store rolls of wrapping paper in the legs of old panty- hose. This will prevent your paper from getting wrinkled and torn between uses, and you won't run the risk of ruining any of the paper by hav- ing to tape the rolls. PAIN-FREE PLUCK- ING (Page 178). Put some over-the-counter oral anesthetic solution on your eyebrows five minutes before you pluck them. This will prevent the pain. Apply to ear- lobes prior to piercing. PERFECT FOIL LIN- ERS (229). It sounds so simple, but it's not always that easy. Here's a way to make lining any pan with foil a cinch. Turn the pan to be lined over and lay a piece of foil over it, molding it to the exact shape of the pan. Now turn the pan right side up and set the perfectly molded foil into it. Perfect fit every time. SHOPPING LIMIT (Page 256). Is it hard for you to stick to a time limit when shopping? Buy a small oven timer, and set it to the desired time you wish to spend shopping. Stick it in your pocket or purse, and when the timer goes off, it's time to go home. Or you could set an alarm on your cell phone or watch, too. POTLUCK SURPRISE (Page 329). Get a group of friends or relatives, and pick a day or week of the month when everyone's cup- boards are lean. Everyone brings an item to share for dinner together. Saves money on going out, and you can have fun with all the surprises on the menu. Right now, I'm offering Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate "Tiptionary2" to my Every- day Cheapskate readers for ONLY $5.00. Visit my bookstore at www.Debt- ProofLiving.com to order your copy today. 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." New I-5 lanes improve safety, congestion Caltrans announced recently it has completed a $16.5 million project that added new lanes for trucks and other slow- moving vehicles on Inter- state 5 between Cotton- wood and Anderson in Shasta County. The pro- ject was primarily funded ($14 million) by Proposi- tion 1B, a $19.9 billion- dollar transportation bond approved by voters in 2006. To date, the state has allocated more than $9 billion in Proposition 1B funds. "This project will enhance safety and reduce congestion by allowing slower-moving vehicles to travel in the climbing lane without slowing traf- fic behind them," said Acting Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty. In addition to new truck-climbing lanes, Cal- trans also resurfaced near- ly 14 lane-miles of high- way pavement within the project limits. The project was a part- nership between Caltrans, the Federal Highway Administration, and the Shasta County Regional Transportation Planning Agency. Reclamation to open dam gates Thursday The Bureau of Reclamation will begin opening the Red Bluff Diver- sion Dam gates and lowering Lake Red Bluff on Thursday, Sept. 1. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fish- eries Service's Biological Opinion requires that the gates are opened no later than Sept. 1 to help migra- tion of winter-run and spring-run Chinook salmon and green sturgeon past the dam site. With the opening beginning at 7 a.m. on Sept. 1, the lake level is expected to decrease about 3-4 feet the first day; with lake level adjust- ments continuing until the lake is reduced back to the river channel by Sunday, Sept. 4. All boats affected by the changing levels should be relocated before 6 a.m., Sept. 1. Water from the Sacramento River is diverted to the Corning and Tehama-Colusa Canals, which serve some 150,000 irrigated acres south of Red Bluff. Diversion of water from the Sacramento River into the canals will be done by the existing pumping plants until the new Red Bluff Pumping Plant comes online, which is expected to be in 2012. For more information, call Paul Freeman with Reclamation's North- ern California Area Office at 529- 3890 or pfreeman@usbr.gov.
