Save Money by Not Buying Paper Napkins
Since I mentioned the Cheapskate
Gazette, which may only be accessible through the internet these days, I wanted
to tell you another great tip I got from them. They said that it pays to pick
up second-hand cloth napkins at garage sales, etc. They cost next to nothing to
purchase and they take next to no room in the washer. Additionally, you are
already paying for the laundry detergent for that load of laundry, so there is
basically little to no expense for washing them again and again. I have already
shown other ideas I’ve had for using the cloth napkins I got from garage sales:
rolling out pie dough and folding in a napkin to roll with a rolling pin to
chop nuts.

Fixing Crawling Fitted Sheets with Salvaged Elastic
Although this picture shows sewing the elastic to the corners of a fitted sheet, I sewed it by hand. I took the salvaged elastic from the leg band of a threadbare pair of underwear. I cut the one leg band into four even pieces and stretched the elastic as I sewed it to each corner, so that the fitted sheets would no longer crawl. Since I had the salvaged elastic from two leg bands, did this to two different fitting sheets, so they fit more snugly.
Please put creative things you've done during the Pandemic In A Pinch in the Comment Box Below. Thanks! Debbie
