The winner: When our family goes to the movies, we buy the large popcorn special – two drinks and one large tub of popcorn which gives one free refill – and then pour the popcorn into two one-gallon zip plastic bags. That way we can get our free refill before the movie starts and we don’t miss any of the movie.

Betty Dominick, of Concord


No more rusty SOS pads

SOS pads always seem to rust quickly after use. When you use one and squeeze out excess water, place it in a small zip bag or anything to keep the air away from the pad. It works!
