Do you have a little wine leftover that you are just not going to use before it goes bad? Don’t toss it down the sink! Instead pour the leftover wine into an ice cube tray and freeze until solid. Then empty the tray into a resealable freezer bag and store in the refrigerator. When a recipie for soups, sauces, casseroles or salad dressings call for a little wine, pull out your frozen wine cubes and add to your dish!
If you have a favorite stuffed animal that needs a quick freshening up but you don’t want to put it in the washing machine (or it is not machine washable), just rub a little cornstarch into the toy’s fur. Let it stand awhile and then brush out. If the toy is a little musty smelling use baking soda and cornstarch instead!
Getting into a hot car can be miserable. To cool the temperatures inside your car simply fill a small spray bottle with 50% rubbing alcohol and 50% water.

Ask for a lower rate. Refinancing a mortgage usually requires thousands of dollars in closing costs. If you own, ask your mortgage holder if you qualify for a lower rate; you might if you’ve had the mortgage for at least a year, you’ve made all the payments on time and you have a decent credit score. You’ll be charged $1,000 or so, but you’ll avoid the closing costs.
Talk to your landlord. If you rent your house or apartment, consider asking your landlord to lower your rent, especially if you’ve always paid it on time or you’ve made improvements to your home. You may also get a lower rent if you sign a longer lease. But keep in mind that this may not be an option if the real estate market in your area is hot.
