**Magnetic strips- Mounted on the wall can hold knives and other utensils to clear counter space. It is esp good to have knives in the open vs a closed knife block that can be very unsanitary inside and unable to be cleaned. (Amazon, Home Depot o rLowe's may also stock them)

**Magnets-Button ones- Glue to the inside of a cabinet to hold little metal items such as nail clippers and tweezers. (Amazon)

**Clothes- fold clothes and store in a standing position vs on top of each other in a drawer so all of them can be seen at once. Only the one desired needs to be removed vs going through all of the foled items for the right one.

**Bar soap- save the left overs and stack on top of each other and if needed put in a mesh bag to keep using them. Lynn Murphy said her grandmother would place the sliver of old soap on top ot the bar of the new soap and it would get used that way. Both work- use it up.

**Battery fan- Different sizes are available. Great to have stashed when the power goes out during the warm months. Always remove batteries when not using an item as they can corrode and damage the equipment.
