Save money with a clever pillow fix

A Clever and 
thrifty trick from  reader Joan Novak, in Charlotte:

Sofa pillows looking worn and tired? If they have a zipper, pull out the old pillow and stuff with a new $2.50 bed pillow. I did this on a leather sofa and at my daughter's on WELL WORN sofa. You could not believe the difference!

Clever Trick for Getting Teen's attention. DING DONG!

Tip from Reader Lisa Walker

Tired of yelling to get my teen daughter's attention when she is upstairs in her bedroom with the door closed and the music on, I purchased a wireless doorbell and put the chime in her room and the button in the kitchen. Now when I need her, I just ring the bell. Works perfect for us! Lisa Walker, Charlotte
