Maybe we need to think outside the box, like our first tipster. CREATIVE CHANGING TABLE. When we were expect- ing, we couldn't find a sturdy changing table in our price range, so we built one. My husband found an oak workbench kit at the local hardware store. We put it together and placed a 1/4-inch layer of foam padding from the fabric store. Over the foam I placed a rubber-backed fabric and stapled it in place to the underside. It's wonderful. It has more work surface than the typical changing station, with two shelves for diapers, wipes and a baby tub. All this for under $30. And when our son outgrows a changing table, we'll have a great workbench. -- Michelle, Oklahoma CLOROX CLEANUP. Quite by accident, I discovered something that works as a "last resort" spot and stain laundry treatment. It has even worked for me on colors. It is a kitchen and bathroom cleaning product called Clorox Bleach Pen Gel. The added benefit is it works great in the kitchen and bathroom, too. -- Charlene, Maryland POISON IVY TREATMENT. When you suspect you've been exposed to poison ivy, bathe and wash thoroughly with a bar of Fels Naptha -- the sooner the better. We've been doing this for many years, and it really works, provided you can act quickly. -- Susan, Alaba- ma Last year, I noticed a lot of perennial flowers being pulled from flower beds at entrances to large business parks and pres- tigious housing develop- ments. One day, I decid- ed to ask the workers if I could have some of the flowers if they were just going to be thrown out. They gave me all that my van could hold. It was a lot of work at the end of the season to get them back into the ground, but the flowers are now starting to bloom all over my yard. All that for free! -- Tonya, North Carolina CANDLE WAX REMOVAL.

The candleholders will be clean, and once the water cools, you can simply skim off the hardened wax, making it easy to clean the pot. -- Phyllis, California CUSTOM MINI- BLINDS. Our two living room windows are taller than the standard size. Instead of paying for cus- tom blinds, we bought three blinds that were the correct width. We used the sections of the third blind to lengthen the short ones. Following the instructions on how to shorten blinds, we removed the bottom portion, tied on the correct length, and replaced the finished bottoms. We saved almost $50 doing this. -- Jeanne, Ohio Would you like to send a tip to Mary? You can email her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O.
