Tightwad Tuesday: Saving Butter Wrappers?!

When the hubs first lost his job almost two years ago, I rediscovered the radical, wonderful Tightwad Gazette. I have learned many useful/silly/genius tips in its pages. One of my favorites, because it is so easy and works so well, is saving the wrappers from sticks of butter (I have several in the fridge right now!) and using them to grease dishes for baking. It works remarkably well, and I have not had to buy cooking spray since I began the practice. Thrift on!
