Clever movie popcorn trick

 

From reader  Betty Dominick, of Concord.
When we go to the movies, we buy the large popcorn special (2 drinks and 1 large tub of popcorn which gives one free refill) and then pour the popcorn into 2 one-gallon sized ziplock bags (this way my kids don't fuss about unequal shares!). That way we can get our free refill before the movie starts and we don't miss any of the movie and we still get our refill.

Clever hair dyeing trick

Upon discovering that I didn’t have a neutralizing cap to process my perm, my daughter took a plastic grocery bag and cut the handles on one side to create a tie.  I tied the bag around my head to allow the drips to go into the bag.  It worked great!  Necessity is still the mother of invention.
