First is something I just saw the other day, I think it was on my Google news feed and was about repurposing plastic pill bottles for other purposes. One use mentioned was, if you have the right size and I have a bunch of them, fill them with quarters. They are just the right diameter and will take a whole roll and no more. Yes, I know, the world is going electronic and laundry mats have machines that take credit and debit cards, but the last ones I have used, were quarter machines, so I keep several rolls of quarters in the center armrest of the RAM and some more in the trailer.
My pharmacy has switched from taping on the labels (they used to use clear packing tape) and now have labels that peel off clean. Any spots of adhesive that remain is easily removed by using the removed label to pull it off.
Tip number two is from a long time ago, but it is a great idea. Long Long Honeymoon first included it in some camping tips, and have since created a Youtube short about it. Pet training pads. If you use the campground showers (and I certainly do if they are reasonably clean) take a pet training pad with you and when you so to step on the floor in the dressing area (which is inevitably wet with water that got under the shower curtain) grab the pad and open it up and put it on the floor. Kick off your shower shoes as step right onto a nice, dry, clean place to stand and get dressed. Just grab it up and throw it in the trash on the way out of the bath house.
For me this was easy, my old cat Dusty had kidney issues and was peeing on my wood floors, so I ended up papering the floor wall to wall downstairs with the pet training pads. I went thru a lot of them in the last few months of his life, but I had just bought a new box (the largest Petsmart has) of them, right before he died in 2012, and they sat in the box, in plastic wrapped bundles, for years, until I first saw this tip. I now have a plastic container in the trailer that I keep 30 or so of them in.
