There’s a storage area underneath my oven in my gas stove where I store several frying pans. And to keep them from scratching each others non-stick cooking surfaces, I stack them with a paper towel in between them. This tip came from an ex father-in-law and it works great.

Another tip I have is how to deal with soap bars too small to continue using. Rather than throwing them out or trying to save them and bunch them all together into one large nasty hodgepodge of yukk, when my soap bar gets too small to use, the next time I take a shower, I get it wet just so it’ll soften up, and start using a new bar for that shower. When I’m finished washing, I lather up the new soap bar a little, this serves as ‘glue’, and then laminate the two together, and overnight, they dry together as one bar. I sometimes need to break the old bar into 4 pieces to get the all the surfaces between the new and old bars to touch even enough to dry together properly, but in the long run, it’s a huge savings in soap bars.

What household tips do you have to share?

Make sure you have wind up alarm clock and oil lamps on hand in especially for the winter. Never know when the snow and ice will cause a branch to fall or an idiot driver will take out the power lines.
