Here's one from Nikki Barber-Mitchell, Seminole, Florida:
Coffee Filters
Better than paper towels and a lot less expensive...Coffee filters ..... Who knew! And you can buy 1,000 at the Dollar Tree for almost nothing even the large ones.
1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave. Coffee filters make excellent covers. 2. Clean windows, mirrors, and chrome... Coffee filters are lint-free so they'll leave windows sparkling. 3. Protect China by separating your good dishes with a coffee filter between each dish. Many More Thanks Nikki!
