Reseal your 'un-resealable' bags with a water/soda bottle

I know it's been a while, but here's a tip I thought was absolutely clever. I remember reading about it in the past, but it was brought to my attention again, and figured I should start actually doing it. Basically, you cut the top 1/3 of a bottle with a screw top lid (probably can't use the latest and greatest water bottles that are using those ultra thin lids), feed the top of the bag that you want resealed through the bottle (pushing it up through the 'bottom'), open up the bag and drop the sides down over the top of the bottle. Then put the cap on. Poof, your bag has been resealed for freshness!

That may sound a little confusing, but hit one of the links below for a better picture of what I'm actually talking about.

Save up to 70% on water when using the toilet!

Below I have linked to an excellent product I highly recommend for anyone interested in saving money. The HydroRight Dual Flush Converter is an easy to install mechanism that can be used on any size toilet to save you thousands of gallons of water per year.

Here's what the manufacturer has to say about it:

Most toilets use the same amount of water for every flush. But a bowl filled with just liquid and paper, which is the case 4 out 5 times, doesn’t need a full tank of water to flush effectively. Using the HydroRight in any size toilet will save thousands of gallons of water per year.

Don't feel you have what it takes to install it yourself? Let this eight year-old kid show you just how easy it is.
