Keeping Your Christmas Tree Fresh
Cut 1″ from the bottom when you bring it home from the lot to keep it fresher longer. Bonus Tip: Save the piece of wood and write your name and the year on it to treasure as a family keepsake ornament!
Keep Your Turkey Moist
Don’t baste your turkey. It will cook faster, and stay juicier, if you leave the oven door shut.
Save leftover bread
Freeze stale and leftover rolls and bread slices (including ends!) and use to make holiday stuffing, croutons, and breadcrumbs.
Halloween Costume Deals
Buy discounted Halloween costumes in early November to create a kids’ dress-up trunk.
Preserving Your Halloween Pumpkin
Your Halloween jack-o’-lantern will last longer if you coat the cut edges with petroleum jelly.
