Here's a reason to always buy organic raisins: Conventional brands are often fumigated with toxic gases to prevent pests from destroying them in storage. According to the Environmental Working Group, it's not just the chemicals used on grapes in the field that are concerning; fumigant residue could pose a health risk to you and your family (not to mention farm workers and people in the manufacturing facilities). With 208 million pounds of raisins eaten by kids every year, choosing organic is a healthier and proactive step to make sure these chemicals don't end up in your raisins.

Did you know that in many communities, polyethylene plastic-coated cartons are recyclable? These are the types of containers that things like milk, juice, soup, broth and drink boxes come packaged in, and yes, they are 100% recyclable. So why aren't waxy takeout containers or ice cream boxes recyclable, if they feel just like one of these cartons? It all comes down to the composition: The fibers of cartons break down easily, while the others don't. So when recycling, leave non-carton waxy containers in the trash, and avoid contaminating a load of recyclables.

Do you have a huge stash of soy sauce packets from Chinese food takeout in your kitchen drawer? Here's the good news: They are still good to use and enjoy, because soy sauce does not expire. While very old soy sauce may not be as fresh, these packets can still be used to make a marinade, add salty flavor to a savory dish and even give a little zest to a bowl of soup. The same tip also goes for mustard and vinegar packets, as these ingredients have a very long shelf life, too.
