Supermarket Secret Winners
This month’s winning tip came from Mary V., of Wisconsin, who shared her super secret for planting corn:
“My Great Uncle always put two or three wooden match heads in with his corn seeds when he planted them. And I still follow his advice! The corn grows quickly and the critters leave it alone.” Mary V., WI

Here’s some more terrific tips we received this month:
“One of the quickest ways to dry up poison ivy is to put white liquid shoe polish directly on the rash. It contains some of the same ingredients as Calamine lotion, and it’s just as soothing.” Paula G., MS
“If your child is suffering from an earache, and you can’t get to the doctor until the next morning, warm a little olive oil and dribble it into the aching ear. It’ll relieve the pain enough for your child (and you!) to get some sleep.” Theresa B., NM
“I rub mayonnaise into the rough spots on my elbows and heels to soften them. It really does the trick!” Bernice P., TX
