DEAR HELOISE: When I am shopping for a certain item, I use my digital camera and take a picture and then write down the price and store, so when I go from store to store, I won’t forget what I saw earlier. That makes it easier to decide. — Mary, via e-mail

• Use to hold a recipe — handy when cooking.
• Clip coupons together to keep organized when going to the store.
• Add a magnet to one side of a clothespin and use on a fridge for notes.
• Clip a dish towel to your blouse for a quick apron. — Heloise
