The next time you're baking, save the aluminum foil to give your dull scissors a makeover. Stack seven used, clean and dry pieces of aluminum foil on top of each other and cut away with your dull scissors. The blades will re-sharpen the more you cut the foil and eventually leave you with practically good-as-new scissors. And remember: The aluminum foil is still recyclable, so crumple it up into a ball and toss it in your curbside bin.

If the cost of refills for those refillable mops has you questioning their value or not, then look no further than your closet to save money. An old cotton T-shirt can be cut into squares and used in place of those disposable sheets. Simply attach the shirt square to the mop, soak lightly with all-purpose cleaner and wipe away. And the best part? The T-shirt squares are machine washable and can be reused several times.

Many of us have little bars of hotel soap that we bring home and save for guests or use in lieu of buying new bars of soap at the store. If you've amassed a collection of soap, you can also upcycle it into bubble bath in minutes. Use a cheese grater to grate the soap into flakes; place the flakes in a container and spoon them into a bath tub as it's filling up to create luscious bubbles the next time you need to relax.
