Underneath the bottom rack of your dishwasher is a filter designed to catch large pieces of food from clogging up your drain. This needs to be cleaned periodically. Remove it from the dishwasher and clean with hot, soapy water in the sink. If it's especially dirty, soak it in white vinegar.

Decorate your walls with artwork that is one-of-a-kind and meaningful to you. Take precious children's drawings and have them blown up at your local copy shop. Frame them like modern pieces of art for your wall and celebrate your child's inner Picasso.

If you want to save money by buying liquid hand or dishwashing soap in bulk, but don't have a container to refill it, consider buying a large, glass vinegar bottle with a built-in spout. You can refill it with whatever soap you want, and the spout will help make the pouring easy and spill-proof.
