Some DIY bird-feeder projects call for rolling pine cones or fruit in honey and then coating the entire outside with birdseed as a decorative way to feed our feathered friends. These DIY projects should be avoided at all cost. While honey is natural, it's not a good thing for birds to consume, because honey is an easy material for bacteria and mold to grow in, and those can be fatal to birds. Instead, stick with birdseed that's fresh and clean if you do want to feed birds in your backyard.

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.
