Before you run out to buy some, check today's first great reader tip. Chances are pretty good you already have something else that will do just as well. MUFFIN PANS FOR LEFT- OVERS. I have found that I can use my muffin pans for the leftover amounts of broth, veggies, tomato sauce, etc., instead of having to buy ice cube trays. I also open a large container of broth and freeze it immediately in the muffin tins. That gives me one-half cup of broth for each "muffin." Once frozen, I put them in a freezer bag, and I'm ready anytime a recipe calls for broth. -- Barbara, Florida OLIVE OIL COASTERS. I hated that no matter how careful I was with my bottle of olive oil, it always left an oily spot on my shelf. I now place the plastic lid from cot- tage cheese or a similar-sized con- tainer on the shelf and put the olive oil bottle on it. When the oily residue builds up on the lid, I sim- ply throw it out and use another one. These lids are not recyclable in my area, but I am getting an extend- ed use from them. -- Debbie, Col- orado STUDENT LOAN REPAY. Often when college students go back to school their current loans go into deferment and they breathe a sigh of relief. No more payments until six months after graduation, right? No! I have gone back to graduate school, but I still have my undergraduate loans. Most of them are subsidized, which means I am not accruing interest on them as long as I am in school, but I will have to pay these loans eventual- ly. Instead of breathing a sigh of relief and not pay- ing them, I double my payment. Why? Now that the interest is subsidized, my payments go entirely to reducing the principal. I just add a note that says, "Pay to principal." -- Holly, Colorado MANAGING THE ATM. According "Bankrate's 2010 Checking Study," ATM fees are on the rise with no end in sight. At least for now, we're only charged a fee if we use an out-of-network ATM. I've discovered that the easi- est way to avoid these fees is to plan ahead. Each payday I make myself withdraw all the cash I will need from my own bank's ATM, enough to last until the next payday. As a bonus, I've discovered I'm spending a lot less than I used to because I know my cash has to last. -- Mar- garet, email Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate TURKEY WARM-UP. It happens every Thanks- giving. By the time I'm done carving the bird, the first pieces on the platter have already begun to cool and dry out. Here's my solution: Just before bring- ing the turkey to the table, I drizzle the slices with a lit- tle boiling hot chicken broth to warm and moisten the meat. -- John, email Would you like to send a tip to Mary?
