Plain old Club Soda is a household helpers must. Not only does it get lots of “oops”es out of laundry (like red wine), it also does wonders on your carpets! Next time you have a spot, pour a bit of Club Soda on it. Give it 10 minutes to work. Then pat dry!

To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.
If you accidentally oversalt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt for an instant "fix-me-up."

Don't laugh this not a joke!! If a recipe calls for a pound of mincemeat,use half as much and bulk it out with either a large cup of porridge oats, or a cup of pearl barley.Feeding four kids on a wing and a prayer made me inventive.By the way, it tastes the same, and is just as nutricious.

42. When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest, so you "squeeze" for freshness or softness? Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week? Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a different color twist tie. They are: Monday = Blue, Tuesday = Green, Thursday = Red Friday = White and Saturday = Yellow. So if today was Thursday, you would want red twist tie; not white which is Fridays (almost a week old)! The colors go alphabetically by color Blue- Green - Red - White - Yellow, Monday through Saturday. Very easy to remember. I thought this was interesting. I looked in the grocery store and the bread wrappers DO have different twist ties, and even the ones with the plastic clips have different colors. You learn something new everyday! Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread with the right color on the day you are shopping.
