Did you know that we're wasting up to 147 million gallons of gas each year due to improperly sealed gas caps? The fuel just evaporates away. You can put an end to this simply by sealing your gas cap. Make sure that you hear the cap click at least three times. This will prevent gas -- and your money -- from disappearing into thin air.

Take a few seconds to clear out the clutter in your medicine cabinet. If you haven't used a product in months, start using it or wash the container out and recycle the packaging. Outdated prescription medicine should never be flushed down the toilet because it can contaminate the water supply. Instead, mix the medicine with used coffee grounds and put everything -- the medicine and packaging -- in a plastic bag and toss into the trash. If you have any questions, ask your pharmacist.

Tomatoes can neutralize odor, which is why you wash the family dog in canned tomatoes after he's been sprayed by a skunk -- so think of the wonders the soup can do with your garbage disposal. Let the soup sit in the drain for a while before washing it away with water.
