Painters and scientists aren’t the only creative thinkers. In fact, we can all be creative, especially when it comes to finding solutions to everyday problems. However, we must acknowledge that some people simply have crazier imaginations than others. And just like that, here are some folks who decided to share some life hacks that saved them money and, most importantly, nerves.
1. “My school had a thing happen where some kid peed all other the bathroom, so they put these in every toilet.”
2. “Netflix + gaming on-the-go”
3. “Put the ends of your green onions in a glass of water, and they will re-grow! You will never run out of them again.”
4. “Wifey wanted a family pic for the holidays, so we used these clips as a phone stand.”
5. “My chain cleaning device — I call it the TB-2.”
6. “If the water bottles don’t fit in the basket, then you can do this.”
7. “When I have something in the fridge I cannot forget to bring with me, I put my car keys on the handle.”
8. “Didn’t have electrical tape, so I used a straw and hair ties.”
9. “Aluminum foil used as wrapping paper — (sometimes) it’s cheaper and looks cooler.”
10. “It seems that old couch springs make for pretty good plant climbers.”
11. “Use a magnet to stick your keys to your door.”
12. “Pizza cutters are an underutilized kitchen utensil.”
13. “My mom is always keeping containers to use in the future, so she uses the Hubba Bubba gum container for her tape measure. It’s a perfect fit.”
14. “Write the date on your blister packs so you know if you’ve taken your meds for that day or not.”
