I tape a paper towel to the top of my microwave and keep a paper plate on the carousel. makes for a fast cleanup!
I put clothes pins on bags of potato chips and crackers, keeps bugs out, keeps fresh in.
I save tinfoil.
I cook eggs in Tupperware, I have this special setup with a small hole bored in the lid, at 3 minutes per egg or less, I can do four in under five minutes, always remember to put a light splash of water on top or a fast spray of butter flavored cooking spray on top to keep the edges from drying out and also, they cook more evenly.
I use 20Wt. motor oil on my guns, it wears impossibly long and never gunks up even after a decade. take a 2-1 mix of 20Wt. and turpentine and you have 3 in 1 oil.
I take my shoes off in the house and hang them up. we have brown recluses and black widows.
I save old leather belts, a fast coating of red buffing rouge and it is the perfect sharpening strop.
Store your dry goods like rice, grits, potato flakes, flour, meal, rolled oats, or whatever in gallon jugs with the lid threads greased with Crisco, no weevils ever and that's all Crisco is good for.
If I'm storing something moisture-sensitive, I toss in an old sock full of instant rice to absorb moisture.
I make biscuits in a frying pan. Lots of grease and paying attention.
I use canned tomatoes in salads and on sandwiches. they're made of tomatoes too ripe to ship so you're not eating some gassed, tasteless no nutrition crap.
I put butter-flavored cooking spray on popcorn.
Using coconut oil is the secret of movie popcorn.
Spraying your ice cube trays lightly with cooking spray, then wiping out the excess helps the cubes pop out.
I save 2-liter bottles to put water in because milk jugs self-destruct after being exposed to sunlight. you can also use them to mix drinks and Gatorade/Lemonade in, then just chuck them. and you can also use them to make sausage links. (look on YouTube.) I also discovered that if you fill one full of water and cloud it with milk or flour and butt a tactical light up to it and it diffuses the light enough to light a room!
If you take a large can like a tuna can and bore a hole in it, you can put a tower candle in it, then use a Flathead wood screw to anchor it down to help keep it stable. you can do this with a burned-up aluminum frying pan as well and you get a carrying handle.
What's some goofy stuff you do in day-to-day life?
