Put old magazine racks to new use
Dear Sara: I have quit buying magazines, so what could a magazine rack be used for? — Piney,Arkansas Dear Piney: You can use one in the bathroom to store rolled towels, loofahs, shampoos or body wash. Or use it in the kitchen to hold your favorite cookbooks, plastic storage container lids, rolls of foil, wax paper or plastic wrap or produce such as potatoes. You can use one in a home office to hold file folders, your children’s school work or books. Depending on the type, some can be used to hold umbrellas, cleaning supplies, garden hand tools, an emergency kit for power outages (flashlights, candles, etc.), or to hold scrapbooking supplies or yarn. Dear Sara: I remember as a child watching my mother take the meat out of the store packaging and wrapping it in freezer paper and marking what it was, along with the date. I’ve never done this, but now I’m wondering if I should. How do you put your meats in the freezer? — Michelle S., Massachusetts Dear Michelle: For short-term storage in the freezer, I just keep it in the original packaging. If it’s a bulk package, I’ll portion it out and put it in freezer storage bags. If I’m placing and buying a larger order, the meat market wraps it for me. They place wax paper and plastic between each piece and then wrap it in butcher or freezer paper. It’s taped shut and labeled. They then wrap it all in a plastic bag. I will sometimes slip the smaller portions into a freezer storage bag rather than keep it all in the one big plastic bag. The meat market asks me exactly how many I want wrapped together, so it’s helpful for me to forecast how soon I will use up each bulk purchase. Before I shopped at the meat market, for longer-term freezer storage (over a month) I would simply repackage the larger purchases and wrap them with freezer paper and then wrap them again in either aluminum foil or place them in a freezer storage bag. Dear Sara: I need ideas for breakfast on the go. My goal is to squeeze breakfast in. I’ve been a morning meal skipper for years and want to make a change for my TURN TO FRUGAL ON B6
