They make good covers for your table when your kids are doing crafts. Use it under your picnic blanket, or toss in in your trunk for sitting on wet bleachers, etc. (cut it down as needed). They also make nice drop cloths for when your painting or staining something. Drying Clothes I can tell you there is a huge difference in my electric bill since my dryer went out and I have HAD to hang everything to dry. There is a nearly $35 decrease in my bill since not using the dryer! When I do get it fixed, I will probably still hang most things and then just run them through on a low cycle to remove lint and pet hair! Mattress Pads When your mattress pad gets worn out and the edges start tearing off, cut them apart and make smaller pads for cribs, pack and plays, or twin beds. Cut them to size of the bed and stitch around the edge. Works wonderfully Or, use as quilt batting.

Add Macaroni. Add Water. Add shredded cheese. Stir together. Place in preheated 300* oven. Take out after 30 minutes and stir. Place back into oven for 30 more minutes (make sure you check it every few minutes after another 20 minutes because you do not want to overbake it or it will dry out).
