#1 Soak Up The Dew

Cat litter filled up in an old sock can soak up any humidity on your car windows. Kitty litter, especially the silica type, soaks up moisture. Fill an old sock with some and keep it in your car to keep moisture away. Works great on steamy nights as well.

#2 Pizza, Pizza

Ladies and gentlemen, it is now possible to cook TWO pizzas at the exact same time by cutting them in half before placing on the rack. OMG!

#3 Unlock It

We have no clue why certain shopping carts are locked up as if they're worth gold, but luckily your own house key will help you use them! We're talking to you Aldi's!

#4 Use Protection

Ever have to take a shower but are dreading it because your band-aid will get soggy and fall off? Try using a cut off condom for sealing out the water and keeping it dry.

#5 Keep Your Cool

We've all gotten first degree burns from our overheated laptop, so use a cardboard egg carton to prop it up to cool it down!

#6 Simple Picture hangers

Use a can stay-tab for hanging stuff like clothes or pictures. Screw a pop top from a can to the back of a picture to use as an instant hanger. They also work pretty well as hangers on the wall for clothing.

#7 Double Wave

Use a tall glass in the microwave to add an extra level for microwaving two different items at the same time. No more waiting that long thirty seconds for 2 cups of soup. :)

#8 Easy Deviled Eggs

Need to cook a large breakfast for the family or make a supply of deviled eggs for a picnic but don't have the time for all that cooking? Well, place all the eggs you need on the center rack of your oven at 180 degrees for 15 minutes! Best idea ever.

#9 No Sweat

Going for a run or working out? No pockets for that phone or mp3 player? Use a cut off sock on your arm or leg, roll it up halfway, and you have an instant phone carrier. Good for keeping the sweat off your electronics as well as you take that jog.

#10 Small Sink Fix

Plastic bottles fill up buckets when your sink tends to be too small. A lot of older apartments have tiny sinks, so how do you fill a mop bucket or any large container? It's simple. Use an empty water bottle to act as a hose for getting the water from faucet to bucket.

#11 Clip It Good

Now, even after opening the chip bag you need not worry about air ruining the leftovers. A clip from a pants hanger will keep your snacks fresh and act as a clip. Sure, you can get 3 bag clips for a buck at any dollar store, but mine always break after a few uses, so these clips work pretty well,and they're free.

#12 Tennis Ball Grips

Using an Exacto blade slice a long horizontal slit in any tennis ball. Take out the insides and nail the outer covering to the wall. Paint a face on it or decorate any way you wish. The slit will look like an open mouth and work as a pretty fun towel holder or mail keeper. Pretty neat!

#13 Recycle It

Use toilet paper or paper towel rolls to make seed starters. Cut, bend, place on a plate or over another piece of cardboard, add potting soil and seed and wait for it to grow!

#14 Simmer Down

Keep a wooden spoon at the ready to place over a boiling pot to avoid the water and bubbles from flowing over the top.

#15 Cool It Down

Love this one. Wrap your soda or beer bottle (or can) in a wet paper towel and just place it into the freezer for ten to fifteen minutes and it's ice cold! Aaahh!
