A great way to save money is by using ordinary items in extraordinary ways. You'll see here that butter isn't just for Paula Deen:
Use butter to remove waxy remnants from an eyebrow wax.
Rub softened butter into hair to ease out gum.
Butter your knife first to slice marshmallows, dates and other tacky items.
Use butter to polish leather goods such as belts and baseball gloves.
Next time you have to take a big pill, add a little butter to help the medicine slide down.
Butter is a great moisturizer. Try using it on your knees and elbows or as a shaving cream.
Bad smells are no match for butter. After handling fish or onions, rub butter on your hands, then wash them.
