If you're planning to take an extended vacation or you know you'll be away from your home for more than a week at a time, try to use up everything in your fridge before you leave. Consuming all of the perishable items and leaving the fridge completely bare means you can unplug it and take it off your electric bill for the duration of the time you're away. If there are just a few perishable items left -- eggs, milk and butter, for instance -- tossing them can save you more money than keeping them cold in the fridge while you're gone.

Do you have a container of old glue that has dried out and hardened? It may be useless to you, but depending on its chemical composition, it could spell trouble if thrown into the trash. Even in a hardened state, solvent-based glues are very flammable and should never be tossed in the trash. Instead, dispose of them with your household hazardous waste at a designated collection site. If the old glue is water-based and hardened, you can safely throw it away in your regular trash.

Bees are important to our world because they help with the pollination of flowers and crops, but being bothered by bees while outdoors can be a pesky situation. Instead of using an insect-killing spray, why not make a natural bee-repellant spray? Simply fill a reusable spray bottle with witch hazel oil and add a few drops of tea tree oil. Shake and spray the solution on your skin whenever you go outdoors and don't want to be bothered by bees. The medicinal smell from the witch hazel oil is obnoxious to bees and other insects, making this spray an excellent way to keep them away from you ... naturally.
