It keeps us from discovering all the ways we can do things, using only what we have on hand. Take Amy who lives in Florida, for example. When her electric oven went on "strike," she didn't close the kitchen, assuming that eat- ing out would be her only alterna- tive. She figured out a better way. Read on ... OUTDOOR "OVEN." Recently, my electric oven displayed an error code. I had no oven to cook or bake our food while I tried to figure out how to get it fixed. I have a toast- er/oven, but it has its limitations. I said to myself, "Make use of what you have." I ventured out to the porch and fired up the gas grill. I made meatballs and lasagna in dis- posable foil pans. And a whole chicken wrapped in a foil tent came out juicy and tender. My kitchen stayed cool, the propane is relatively inexpensive, and I exercised my resourcefulness. (Note: In most cases, an error code on an electronic appliance can be cleared by unplugging the item from its power source for a minute or two. This allows it to "reboot.") - - Amy, Florida HOMEGROWN STEVIA. My friend grows stevia in her backyard. It is fabulous. I don't use artificial sweeteners in anything anymore. My goal is to grow my own ste- via, too, as I enjoy it in my iced tea. (Note: Learn all about growing, harvesting and switching to chemical-free, all- natural stevia at www.stevia.com.) -- Carol, email COUPON ORGA- NIZER. I have a three- ring binder with zip- pered binder pouches to hold all of my coupons. I've labeled the pouches with the stores where I frequently shop. Inside these pouches I keep the coupons, promotions and special offers I plan to use on that shopping trip. Since I update my coupon book weekly, it is easy to keep track of everything, and it is less likely that items will expire before I can use them. -- Sharon, Ohio HEALTHY FRUIT SODA. I POCKET MEDICAL HISTO- Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate don't like to keep junk food in the house, but every once in a while we treat ourselves to fruit soda, a healthy alternative to sugary soft drinks and sport drinks. To make, we start with a couple of ounces of 100 percent fruit juice and add 8 ounces or so of seltzer water and ice. Cheers! -- Kate, Massachusetts RY. To make our time at the doc- tor's office more efficient, I keep a detailed account of each family member's medications in my computer. I list the name, birth date and doctors' names, along with the date of our most recent flu, tetanus and pneumo- nia shots. I list our med- ications by name and dosage. I also list any allergies we have. I keep a current printout in my purse so that when we're at the doctor's office I just pull out the list and give it to the nurse. I update the information with any changes and then print out new lists. This saves time, and the nurses and doctors really appreciate it. -- Maxine, Nebraska Would you like to send a tip to Mary?
