An easy way to update a torn or dirty lampshade is to simply cover the outside of it with cork contact sheets. Genuine cork sheets are available at any home improvement store and have an adhesive backing on them. Just cut the sheets of cork to the size of the lampshade and peel and stick onto the shade.

Your floral arrangements should not have more frequent flyer miles than you do. Exotic blooms come from tropical locations, which means they are flown in from all over the world. Think local with your arrangements: Put a wooden bowlful of apples on the table; it looks just as good (and delicious) as any tropical arrangement.

My policy is even if I have a coupon for something, I don't buy it if I don't really use it. But one person's least favorite organic cereal can certainly be someone else's favorite, so leave the $2 coupon right on top of the box in the cereal aisle to help someone save. The more we all buy organic products, the more the industry will keep creating them.
