TODAY'S THRIFTY TIPS:

* Give a dead battery a jolt.

I guarantee retailers do not want you to know this secret. Batteries - even the ones that aren't "rechargeable" like Alkaline - can be rejuvenated to near full power. Get this Multi-Battery Universal Charger and stop wasting money on replacing old or used batteries!

ALL batteries are rechargeable and can be used DOZENS of times more. With the Volt Stream Battery Charger, you can charge AA, AAA, C, D and even 9V batteries back to full charge.

* Get markers flowing again.

If a washable marker has run dry, dip the tip into a cup of water. Hold it there until you see ink start to flow again, then recap it for 15 minutes. The moisture from the water rejuvenates the marker's pigments. Got a dry permanent marker? Repeat the same process using rubbing alcohol!

* Boost your bar soap's shelf life.

It may sound strange, but simply storing your bar soap unwrapped will give you more suds. The reason? Exposure to air dries out the soap, so it doesn't dissolve as quickly when it comes into contact with water. To get the benefit, unwrap any bars and let them dry out for at least a week.
