Just take a look at a sampling of the latest batch of tips I received from readers. MUSICAL COASTERS. Friends give me their old CDs, which I use to create gifts. Using cotton yarn, I crochet two small doilies the size of the CD. I then put a CD or DVD between the doilies and sew them together. I make sets of four or eight coasters and give them as gifts. I usually try to pick the yarn color that will go with my recipient's decor; other- wise I use a neutral color. To laun- der, I don't toss them in the wash- ing machine, as the CDs may break, but I do soak them in soapy water, rinse and stand on end to dry. -- Joyce, Michigan FROZEN STORAGE FOR bags, and I always know where to find one. -- Lucy, email MEATY CUPCAKE LINERS. I use flattened, large paper cupcake liners between ham- burger patties when freezing. No cutting waxed paper and no corners sticking out. -- Sharon, Arkansas FRESH-FROZEN BAGS. After wrapping meat tight- ly in plastic wrap and then in foil, I write the contents on a piece of paper and place the meat and note inside a zip-type freezer bag. When I remove the item from the freezer, I store the empty bags in the freezer. I have no need to con- tinually buy expensive freezer STRAWBERRIES. When I have too many strawberries to eat, I hull, wash and spread them out on a jelly-roll pan. When they're com- pletely dry, I freeze them on the pan. Once frozen, I put them in a zip-type freezer bag and store in the freezer. I use these for making smoothies. -- Gretchen, email Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate NO MORE CATALOG SHOP- PING SPREES. With the populari- ty of online shopping, catalogs might not be as big a budget prob- lem as when I was younger, but I broke my catalog habit relatively easily. When a catalog arrived in the mail, I looked through it and filled out the order form (omitting the payment information). Then I'd stick the order form in the catalog and put it aside, preferably out of sight. I did this with each catalog that arrived in my mailbox. This worked like a charm. I am now to the point where I toss catalogs without opening them! -- Doris, California ROOTS-ONLY COL- ORING. I have two hair color formulas that I use, one for summer and one for winter. I clip coupons for the brands I like, but what really works for me and saves me so much money is that I only color the roots as my hair grows out. Coloring just the roots allows me to need only half of the color, preserv- ing the rest in the original contain- ers for next month. And using half gives me just enough solution to cover the roots. I figure I have saved thousands of dollars over the years. I haven't used a salon to color my hair in over 25 years. -- Cathy, Florida Diner to hold Monster Burger contest tonight The Cozy Diner, 259 South Main St., is holding sev- eral contests starting at 5 tonight for its Halloween cel- ebration. A Monster Burger Eating Contest is open to anyone who had a monster burger at the restaurant between Oct. 1-30. Contestants will be judged on who eats the monster burger the fastest.
