Small plastic water or soda bottles can be used as cold packs the next time you shop at the grocery store. Simply fill up the bottles with water and freeze them overnight with the cap screwed on. Place them inside a durable reusable bag or cooler and place your perishable groceries near them to keep them cool and fresh.

When is the best time to fill up a gas tank? When it's half full. A gas tank that is half full has less air inside the tank, so it helps minimize the evaporation of gasoline when you're filling up. Less evaporation means more actual gas will stay inside the tank, giving you more fuel for your money. Also, always be sure to fill it up to a full tank; it'll cut back on your visits, saving you money in the long run.

Junk mail can be a pain and still show up even if you sign up to be opted out. Make the most of it by using the free envelopes inside for your own personal mailing needs. Simply cover the pre-printed address on the label with your own white label and use your own stamps to reuse them.
