1001 Alternative Uses For Everyday Household Products

Are you looking to get the absolute best value for your hard earned money? Who isn't these days, right? My special gift to you for joining my mailing list is both an informative and entertaining guide to doing just that - getting the most for your money. Why spend outrageous money for products when you probably already have legitimate and often better alternatives right in your home?

With more than 50 categories ranging from Health and Beauty to Peanut Butter, you'll find 1001 useful tips for getting the most from the simple items you're already using. I've personally been astonished at one very simple tip I discovered in this collection. That was using Peroxide as a teeth-whiting agent. IT WORKED and saved me HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS in retail tooth whiteners!

I simply hold a couple of capfuls in my mouth for a couple of minutes before brushing my teeth. I thought I'd noticed that my teeth were getting whiter but knew they were when friends began asking if I'd been to the dentist for professional whitening. That's just one of the 101 alternative you'll find in this handy 75-page ebook.

Here are just a few more gems from 1001 Alternative Uses For Everyday Household Products:

• Keep belt buckles shiny - Paint Clear Nail Polish on the buckle, allow to dry, repeat four times.
  
• Make fried chicken golden brown - Add a few drops of yellow food coloring to vegetable oil before frying. The chicken will absorb the food coloring and become a succulent golden brown.
  
• Cut a birthday cake - Waxed dental floss cuts cake into neat slices.
  
• Avoid paint splatters - Mold aluminum foil around doorknobs when painting.
  
• Neutralize jellyfish stings - If you don't have rubbing alcohol, splash vodka over the affected area.
  
• Prevent grease fires in barbecue grills - Cover the bottom of the grill with a three-quarter inch layer of unused cat litter to reduce fire hazards.
  
• Prevent outdoor light bulbs from sticking in fixtures - To make removal easy, rub a thin coat of petroleum jelly on the threads before inserting the bulbs.
  
• Remove paper stuck to a wood surface - Saturate the paper with corn or vegetable oil, let sit for a while, and gently peel the paper off.
  
• Next time your pooch smells like something the cat dragged in, rub him down with a fabric softener sheet and he'll be smelling great in no time. This isn't a substitute for a bath, however.
  
• Throw-away sifter - Poke holes in the bottom of a disposable cup and sift flour, sugar and other fine powders into recipes or finished treats.
  
• Unique candle holder - Invert a fancy wine glass and place a candle on the upside- down base. Very nice.
  
• Salty Jeans - Add Ð… cup of salt to a laundry load of blue jeans. Not only will they come out softer, but they will last much longer.
  
• Mix some Kool Aid with plain yogurt and your kids have some excellent finger paint that's an easy clean-up and tasty too.
  
• Foot fungus relief - Apply Vicks Vaporub to the affected area until cleared.

There are also a few funny "Alternative Use" tips:

• Fruit Cake: Shooting range target - Members of the Horton, Wisconsin police department all received fruitcakes for Christmas in 1961. They decided to take their gifts to the range and use them for target practice. This had to be discontinued though as their bullets had an unusually high ricochet rate.
  
• If you want to keep your identity a secret when committing random acts of stupidity, be sure to wear a nylon stocking over your mug. For a really distorted look, be sure to get the 'petit' size.
