Today's first tip made me laugh as I imag- ined the tipster looking high and low for her car keys, failing to remember for a moment that she'd put them into the refrigerator. It occurs to me that the refrigerator, at work or home, makes for a great "key keeper." It's just quirky enough that it might work to prevent the problem of the lost keys. NEVER FORGET. To save time after work when I need only a few items, I go to the grocery on my lunch hour. I put the groceries into the refrigerator at work. So I don't forget to take them home, I put my car keys into the bag with the gro- ceries. Forgetting to grab the gro- ceries is no problem because my keys are with them. -- Diane, Ore- gon CLEVER NUT. To chop nuts, measure the amount to be chopped into a small plastic bag and seal or fold over one end, leaving just a small corner for air to escape. Pound the nuts in the bag on a cut- ting board with a wooden or metal meat tenderizer. This saves time and eliminates cleanup because you just pour the nuts into the recipe and throw away the bag! -- Sally P., Ohio BACON SECRET. To keep your bacon from shrinking when you fry it, roll it in flour and place it in a nonstick skillet. Fry over low heat. You will be amazed at how the bacon keeps its shape and size as it cooks. -- Sue C., West Virginia BANANA JAM. Instead of throwing bananas out once they turn brown, I slice them into a small casserole dish, sprinkle them with one or two tablespoons of lemon juice, dot them with a few table- spoons of butter and add two or three tablespoons of brown sugar and a handful each of chocolate chips and marshmallows. I cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake it for about 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. I serve it in dessert cups with a dollop of whipped cream. My kids think it is a deli- cious treat! -- Amanda P., e-mail CRACKER SAVER. If you open packages of crackers and find they have gone stale, just spread them on a cookie sheet and pop them into the oven on broil. Watch them carefully for a few minutes, and when they start to turn a lit- tle brown, they are crisp again, perfect for eating. -- Diane, e-mail Would you like to send a tip to Mary?

Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate There are thousands of seniors and adults with disabilities, many in Tehama County, who have Medicare but are struggling to pay for their prescription costs and are not aware that there is help available nearby. According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal agency that administers Medicare, there are about 700 Medicare beneficiaries in Tehama County who may be eli- gible for help to reduce their prescription and medical costs. Recent changes in the law have made it easier for Medicare beneficia- ries to become eligible for extra help, also known as Low Income Subsidy (LIS), to reduce Medicare's prescription plan's (Part D) premi- ums, deductibles and co-pays. LIS is administered by the Social Security Administration. Income limits are $1,354/month if single, and $1,821/month for a cou- ple. Resources cannot exceed $12,510 for sin- gle and $25,010 for a couple. In addition, eligibili- ty for another federal benefit administered by local counties has improved. This benefit is called the Medicare Savings Program, (QMB) and it helps reduce eligible individual's Medicare Part B costs, such as medical premiums, deductibles and co- pays. Income limits are $1805/month if single, and $2428/month for a couple. Resources cannot exceed $6,600 if single and $9910 for a couple. Other allowances may be possible. This benefit could save each beneficiary $1,300 or more this year. Passages' Health Insurance Counseling & Advocacy Program (HICAP) will be hold- ing a workshop for eli- gible people to enroll in these benefits 1-4 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 17, at the Red Bluff Commu- nity and Senior Center, 1500 S. Jackson St., Red Bluff. For reservations, call 898-6716.
