Hints from Heloise

The Spokesman-Review

Dear Heloise: Instead of using messy coupon wallets that store loose coupons, I bought a small, pocket-size photo album. After attaching some adhesive index tabs every few pages and marking them with different categories (e.g., “frozen foods,” “dairy,” etc.), I slid my coupons into the photo pockets in their respective sections. It’s so fast and easy to flip through while at the store and see which coupons I have and which ones are past their expiration dates. – A Reader in Indiana

Dear Heloise: After reading all the different directions for deviled eggs, I decided to try the one with ranch dressing. I found out that I was out of that and used coleslaw dressing. It was a nice change. – Karen in Indiana

This sounds delicious, as coleslaw dressing is thick and creamy. We will add this to our list of other filling ideas, along with one of my faves: blue-cheese dressing! – Heloise
