Save using what you have on hand From pasta to vinegar, there are all kinds of things in your kitchen pantry that could save you all kinds of money -- and frustration, too! You're going to wonder why you didn't think of that! CANDLELIGHTER. If you can't light a candle without using a long lighter, grab a piece of dry spaghetti from your pantry. Strike a match, and hold the flame under the spaghetti until it ignites, keeping the spaghetti so the end farthest from you is slightly down- ward. Once lit, extinguish the match and use the lit spaghetti to light the candle. -- Erin, email BAG THE FAT. Removing fat from meat drippings before you make gravy is easy. Let the drip- pings cool a little, and then pour into a zip-type bag. I use the quart size the most. Allow it to settle for a minute, seal the bag, and then snip off a very tiny corner. The good drippings will come out of the hole, but the fat won't. Once all the good stuff is out, just toss the bag. - - Rosemary, Wyoming FOGGY BATHROOM MIR- ROR. I have figured out a way to clean the toothpaste splatters from the bathroom mirror. After some- one gets out of the shower and the mirror is all fogged up, I grab an old rag and wipe down the mirror. The heat and steam from the shower soft- ens those pesky lit- tle toothpaste splatters, and they wipe away with ease. Later, I use a solu- tion of vinegar and water to make it shine. - - Valerie, Tennessee FORK IT. My favorite kitchen tool is a large table fork. Some flatware styles are extra big and heavy, making the fork just right for stirring and mixing. It works better than a large spoon, and with the quick turn of the wrist it even whips like a whisk. The fork fits in my flatware drawer, and I have found extra large forks at thrift stores. -- Jo, Florida DISCOUNTED BY A DENT. We bought a brand new dishwasher that we found on Craigslist for only $230. It was a high-end, stainless steel model that retailed for $799. A delivery truck had dropped another dishwasher on top of it, denting the top. We inspected it and didn't find any damage to the machine. We covered a hammer with a soft cloth and banged out the dent, but once installed the damage was unseen. We installed it ourselves and are still enjoying the savings. -- Ginger, email VINEGAR CLEANER. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate Having children with sensi- tive skin, I've learned to disinfect my home without the use of harsh chemicals such as bleach or ammonia. Vinegar in a spray bottle is my cleaner: full strength for the bathroom, and dilut- ed for windows, wood floor, linoleum and tile. I use it to clean my car win- dows, vinyl upholstery, door handles and vinyl mats. I use vinegar once a month to clean my coffee maker and once every six months to clean my hot tub and dishwasher. Mixed with baking soda, I clean my refrigerator, porcelain kitchen sinks and bath- tub. -- Colleen, Arkansas Holiday Dessert Social planned downtown The Job Training Center, at 718 Main St., in Red Bluff is hosting its 2011 Holiday Dessert Social, from 4 to 6 p.m., Dec. 8.
