Here is a collection of tips.  You may or may not have seen some of these before.  If you have any good ones to add please feel free to contact me.

Storing Bed Sheets
After drying my sheets, put both sheets and one pillowcase in the other
pillow case. Fold neatly in a square. Next time you change sheets, you just
take the one pillow case and all the sheets and pillow case are inside. No
need to look for matches. Great for when you have different size beds!  I really do this one and it’s a great idea.

Clean your glass shower
To clean the glass in your shower easily, apply lemon juice to the glass
with a sponge. Then, take newspaper and wipe the lemon juice off the glass.
It will be clean and sparkle with no scrubbing!

Reheat Pizza
Heat up leftover pizza in a non-stick skillet on top of the stove, set heat
to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro
pizza. I saw this on the cooking channel and it really works.

Easy Deviled Eggs
Put cooked egg yolks
in a zip lock
bag. Seal, mash till they are all broken up. Add remainder of ingredients,
reseal, keep mashing it up mixing thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggy,
squeeze mixture into egg. Just throw bag away when done – easy clean up.

Expanding Frosting
When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with your
mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size. You get to frost more
cake/cupcakes with the same amount. You also eat less sugar/calories per
serving.

Reheating refrigerated bread
To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them
in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the
food moist and help it reheat faster.

Newspaper weeds away
Start putting in your plants, work the nutrients in your soil. Wet
newspapers put layers around the plants overlapping as you go cover
with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds will get through some gardening
plastic , but they will not get through wet newspapers.

Broken Glass
Use a dry cotton ball to pick up little broken glass pieces of glass–the
fibers catch ones you can’t see!

Squirrels Away!
To keep squirrels from eating your plants sprinkle your plants with cayenne
pepper. The cayenne pepper doesn’t hurt the plant and the squirrels won’t
come near it.

Easier thank you’s
When you throw a bridal/baby shower, buy a pack of thank you cards for the
guest of honor. During the party, pass out the envelopes and have everyone
put their address on one. When the bride/new mom sends the thank you’s,
they’re all addressed!

Bicycle Security
If you purchase a new bike for you or a
child, place their picture inside the handle bar before placing the grips
on. If the bike is stolen and later recovered, remove the grip and there is
your proof who owns the bike. You could also put a business card or index
card with address.

Flexible vacuum
To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge add an empty
paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum hose. It can be
bent or flattened to get in narrow openings.

Reducing Static Cling
Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a
clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling when wearing
panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and — voila — static is gone.

Measuring Cups
Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill it with hot
water. Dump out the hot water, but don’t dry the cup. Next, add your
ingredient, such as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out.

Foggy Windshield?
Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the glove
box of your car. When the windows fog, rub with the eraser! Works better
than a cloth!

Reopening envelope
If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to include
something inside, just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an
hour or two. Voila! It unseals easily.

Conditioner
Ladies, use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It’s a lot cheaper
than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It’s also a great
way to use up the conditioner you bought but didn’t like when you tried it
in your hair…

Good-bye Fruit Flies
To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass fill it 1/2″ with
Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dishwashing liquid, mix well. You will find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever!

Get Rid of Ants
Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it
“home,” & can’t digest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so, esp.
if it rains, but it works & you don’t have the worry about pets or small
children being harmed from eating it!

Take baby powder to the beach
Keep a small bottle of baby powder in your beach bag. When your ready to
leave the beach sprinkle yourself and kids with the powder and the sand
will slide right off your skin.
