QUICK Dollar Stretching Tips for the Kitchen: Butter wrappers

Buying sprays, extra oils and non-stick goodies cost more money. Just stretch that butter wrapper into a useful tool by using it to grease cookie sheets, pyrex dishes, muffin tins and more.

Just fold them in on themselves (butter side inside) for less mess and store many in one baggie.

You'll save $$ and use something that would have headed to the trash too soon!

Also, not much time needed to 'thaw' these because the warmth from your hand on the back of the butter wrapper paper melts it fast.

It works great and it's CHEAP!

Thanks for the kind words!

Just put up the last 'quick tip' we had editted today - on honey for allergies...

I will take your advice and 'keep them coming' as long as I can have a 'camera guy!' (o:

I love doing that. It also lends a nice buttery taste to the outside of baked goods like bread. Mmmm, buttery bread. :D

[thewheatguy]

Yeah, the taste is different and more buttery - I love buttery bread...cookies....muffins....

Oh, I've talked myself into the kitchen again! (o:
