Museum Admission

This week (Jan 2-9, 2007), admission to the Royal BC Museum is by donation. Great savings opportunity, especially for parents trying to amuse kids not yet back to school. For guidelines, regular admission for adults is $14, for youth (6-19), seniors (65+), and students (19+ with ID) is $9.50; families (2 adults plus 2 youth) normally pay $37.50.

Fresh Laundry...

Didn't get an expensive LG Washer/Dryer with that funky steam "refresh" setting? No problem. Just chuck your dress (or drapes, or whathaveyou) in your average dryer with a damp towel for a few minutes. Viola!

Discount Cafe Mocha

If you buy Cafe Mochas from Tim Hortons but don't like the added calories from the whipped cream, here's a tip: don't order a "mocha, hold the whip." Instead, order a "coffee with hot chocolate" -- you'll be charged less.

Frugal Fruit Fly Control

Find a jar. Put two tablespoons of cider vinegar or a slice of fresh fruit in the bottom, insert a paper funnel in the top. Presto!

Once the fruit flies are captured, take them outside to destroy them or free them.
