Fabulous Tip Friday

Instead of throwing all of your loose change in your piggy bank, here a few uncommon uses for the copper penny:

• Let old Abe Lincoln's head tell you if it's time to replace the tires on your car.Insert an American penny into the tread... If you can't cover the top of Honest Abe's head inside the tread, it's time to head to the tire store.
• When you move a chair, sofa, table, or bed, use a penny (or other coin) to fluff up the carpet. If it doesn't pop up, hold a steam iron a couple of inches above the affected spot. While the area is damp, try fluffing again.
• Fresh cut flowers will stay fresh longer if you add a copper penny and a cube of sugar to the vase water.
