Expired vitamins shouldn't be ingested by humans, but they also don't have to be tossed into the trash. Mix whatever vitamins you might have into the soil of a houseplant or in your garden. Every time you water, the vitamins will slowly dissolve and may add vital nutrients back to the soil, giving your plants a boost.

A small piece of chalk may be impossible to write with, but you can still find other uses for it. If you want to prevent your fine rings and bracelets from tarnishing, place the items inside a jewelry case with a piece of chalk. The chalk will take in moisture and help slow down the tarnishing process.

Many older refrigerators use an incandescent light bulb to illuminate the inside. The problem with this is that when an incandescent bulb gets hot, it makes your refrigerator use more energy to cool itself down. One thing you can do is replace those bulbs with LED (Light Emitting Diodes) bulbs that do not get hot, use a fraction of the energy and last much longer.
