Sticking your finger in a potato is a good thing?
I didn’t know this, but potatoes can take food stains right off of your fingers. All you have to do is just slice a raw potato and rub it on the stains and rinse. That’s easy!
I know you’re probably wondering where I got this information and as usual, it’s Dawn from Frugal For Life. She recently posted a few hints & tips for the kitchen on her blog and they’re worth checking out.
Some of them are a little too frugal for me, but a few really hit home. I love putting fresh grated cheese on my salads and pasta, but the problem is that I hate cleaning up the messy grater! Dawn suggests spraying the grater with non-stick cooking spray or brushing it lightly with oil. Thanks Dawn!

~Dawn runs a great site over there, she was the inspiration for me starting the Festival of Frugality (and I was surprised one didn’t already exist). I agree, some of the tips are a little too frugal for my tastes but it’s always exciting to see what sort of ingenius ideas she comes up with.

Dawn always has great ideas. I buy sprinkle cheese instead because I hate the cleanup too.

Ah gee, thanks!
I use bagged, cut cheese myself, mostly because the cheese would die a moldy green death before I used it all. That would NOT be frugal.
