If you want to save your favorite snack and don’t have a chip clip handy, just flatten the bag to remove excess air. Fold the corners in to make triangles. Then tightly roll the bag and pull the triangles over the roll to keep it nice and secure until the next time you snack.

3. Make chips crispy again

If you forgot about your chips and they went stale, don’t throw them away! Just pop them in the microwave for about 30 seconds and they will taste good as new.

4. Do this if you don’t have a plunger

Ever clog someone’s toilet and realize they don’t have a plunger? Yikes! Ask for some dish soap and hot water. This can also work if the plunger isn’t helping.

5. Ready for some wine but no bottle opener?

This one requires a little bit of arm strength and a shoe with a wooden sole. If you want to open a bottle of wine but don’t have a bottle opener, put the bottle in your shoe and bang the heel against the wall. If you bang hard enough, the cork should pop right out!

6. Use pipe cleaners to keep flimsy shirts on the hanger

Wrap a pipe cleaner on each side of the hanger to keep tank tops and other flimsy shirts on the hanger and not on your floor.
