Don't you just love quick and easy solutions?
This one is so fun!
Grab a ketchup bottle before it hits the recycling.
Clean it, maybe have your kids decorate it.
Keep it in the pantry till you need it.
How do get the pancake batter *into* the bottle?
Well, I'll tell you how I do it. I use a 29 cent oil funnel from the hardware aisle of the grocery store.
Now, I'm not telling YOU to do that.
I mean, it's not like that's food-grade plastic or anything.
But, I haven't died... yet.
(Obviously, I have only use it for food - not oil changes. Funnels are perfect for adding powdered drink mixes to left-over 2 liter bottles, too. Just in case your pitcher and its unsecured lid tends to hit the dirt so-to-speak making a red drink kid pool on the kitchen floor. 2 liter bottles are kid friendly.)
Oh, and ketchup bottles are not only free...
but they are great for little hands, too!
Here's another handy tip I use.
We've all seen these manicure sets which go for anywhere from $8-25.
Well, I have lots of tweezers and clippers around...and I certainly have lots of no longer used cases from glasses long gone. Snap! There's your travel manicure set for your purse or travel bag.
Gosh, I love saving money!
