Those of us who grew up with country grandmothers, or frugal moms, learned lots of little tips and ways to save, reuse and repurpose lots of things long ago.  But many people grew up eating boxed hamburger helper.  For those folks, and for a refresher course for the rest of us, I’ll be listing little tips as I do them, or ‘remember’ them!

I told you today about buying butter in bulk.

Do you know what you do with the paper wrapper the butter quarter  came in?

pound of butter

Save it.  Fold it in half and put it in the fridge.  You can find a spot to keep them, or put them in a resealable baggie, or plastic container or the butter compartment.  WHY?

Next time you bake cookies, or need to grease a cake pan, you’ll have a butter wrapper on hand.  There’s just enough residual butter on the wrapper to grease a cookie sheet or two.  Wipe and toss.

Save a butter wrapper – save the world.

LOL  - well it’s a start – we can’t all be heroes!
