Serving tip: Make menu cards and list the type of food that is being served. By doing this people will not have to ask what the food is.

Party tip: Stock party foods, such as crackers, and ingredients for party sandwiches and dips. You will have these items at the tip of your fingers for the next party.

Cooking tip: Whenever you are cooking dried beans use one cup of beans to get 2 1/2 cups.

Cooking hint: You get 4 cups of flour from 1 pound. Use the correct size of pan or dish whenever cooking.

Spice tip: To keep spices fresh, date the container and this way you will know the length of the spice. Ground spices 3 years and whole spices 3-4 years. Pure vanilla will last forever.

Hint: Use herbal sachets for drawers to prevent smells and moths.

Food shopping tip: Buy meats and frozen items last, so they will not thaw before getting home.

Saving money: Pay cash whenever shopping instead of paying with check or credit card. This way you will not over spend.

Saving at food store: Take an inventory of what you have in your freezer before going food shopping and only buy enough frozen food to last 2-3 weeks. Date dot the packages; use the oldest one before using the new one.

Wardrobe planning: Spread out your entire wardrobe of clothes on the bed and match tops with pants, you can get several different outfits from one item of clothing. After doing this make a list of what to wear with each outfit and put into a note book. Whenever you get ready to dress you will know what to wear without wondering what to wear.

Jewelry: Match your jewelry the same way as you do your clothing.
