Save empty baby food jars and use them as an expensive alternative for adding soft lighting to a porch or deck in the evening. Simply place a tealight in each jar and if possible use quite a few at once and Voila you have an beautiful candlelit evening. -- Iman, 34, from WI In the Kitchen I use my crock pot and bread maker all summer and still keep my home cool. I put these on my porch where I have an outlet and they don't heat up my kitchen that way. My favorite easy dinner is put a whole roaster chicken in the crock pot for the afternoon. It's easy, delicious and inexpensive. (it also drives our cat crazy!) -- Diane, 42, from IL My kids are always wanting pasta and I hate to have to watch it. I found out I can microwave any pasta the same way we were making EasyMac. I just put water and the pasta in a bowl (one or two servings) and cook in the microwave for 3-5 minutes. I experimented until I found the right amount of time. I just drain it and serve it in the same bowl after adding butter and salt. It's great not to have to watch a boiling pot when I'm busy. -- Anne, 43, from WV We need YOUR tips for our newsletter!

Mondays and Tuesdays are good days to shop thrift stores. Most stores receive more donations on the weekend and put out their new merchandise early in the week. #908. Make your baby's handprint in clay at home for a fraction of the cost of a prepacked kit. Mix 1 cup baking soda, 1/2 cup cornstarch, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 cup water. Heat over medium heat until boiling, then lower heat and stir until thick. Spread mixture in a mold like a whipped topping container or margarine lid. When cool, press your baby's hand into the dough to form a handprint. String with pink or blue ribbon and use a toothpick to write the date before it dries.
