Ever break one of those plastic skirt/pants hangers that everyone seems to have? My mom, the ultimate frugalista, breaks off and uses any unbroken clips as chip clips. Well, monkey see/monkey do, so now I do too. But as you can see, the clips work for marshmallow bags too.
Of course, I've had my hot chocolate this morning, which is why I thought to remembered to take this pic. The idea for this post was generated by a post over on Frugal Girl.
Here in Kentucky, we're bracing for an ice storm to hit sometime this afternoon. In preparation, I filled my car's gas tank last night. Good thing too, since today's paper contained an article about preparing for frigid temperatures that stated, "...when drivers only have a quarter tank of gas or so...that leaves room for moisture [to build up in the tank]." Evidently, putting "fuel dryer additive" into your tank will help prevent the moisture from affecting your gas/car.
Hubby is stacking more firewood on the porch for easy access. We'll be nice and cozy regardless of the weather. Hope the same for YOU!!

I LOVE this idea! I always seem to break the Chip Clips I buy at the grocery store. Plus I personally hate these hangers so I am very glad to see a much better way to use them!
Thx, Meg. These break too, but I'm not out anything when it's time to replace them!
Awesome idea!
What a clever idea!
thx! my mother gets full credit for this one!
I like this idea, very inventive.
Thx, MQ, I think of you as having a "black belt" in frugal, and my mom has one too. I have so much to learn!
This is brilliance. :)
