Hints From Heloise

Dear Heloise: If you live in a two-story house, keep a supply of grocery bags on the upper floor to use when you dump wastebaskets. It’s easier than carrying the baskets! - G. Daniel Miller, Scottsdale, Ariz.

Dear Heloise: My Sound Off is cash register receipts with the print so light that you can’t read them, even if you have 20:20 vision. - D. Ducay, Downers Grove, Ill.

Dear Heloise: Recycling last year’s Christmas cards saves me money. I cut the cover of each card if the back is not written on and use it for a postcard. Not only do I save in the cost of greeting cards, I save on postage as well! - Maria Bousie, Pearland, Texas

Two money-saving hints in one. What could be better? Thank you so much. - Heloise xxxx
