    Talking Frugal tip 10/29

    Coffee cans (big ones) - Make toy "stilts"! Poke holes (with a can opener) on either side of the can and thread a jumprope through and they can walk on the cans while holding the jumpropes. Cool!

    Good idea!! I save the cans and wrap with gift wrap and use them for my fudge and cookie gifts.
