    Check out this video: http://video.about.com/frugalliving/5-Uses-For-Foil.htm I thought it was really interesting about the dryer use of the foil. I've only tried the scissor sharpening tip, but I didn't have much luck. :roll: Maybe I didn't do it long enough. :oops: Enjoy!

    I use the aluminum for the dryer because I can't use dryer sheets due to allergies. It works - very little static. :)

    EDIT - I'm using the ironing board tip. I hadn't thought of that one.

    Those are great. The sandwich one is pretty funny. But I guess in a pinch. LOL Thanks for sharing.
