The Many Uses for Newspapers by Nikki Willhite Most everyone deals with newspapers. Even if you don't pay for a subscription, they are often delivered free to your door so that you will read the ads. I think we've all recycled and reused newspaper. We use it to get the fire going in our fireplaces, and to protect our furniture and floor when painting. We use it to line garbage cans, shelves, and to wash our windows. If our newspapers start piling up, we put them in the recycle bin, where they will be picked up and others will recycle them. HERE ARE JUST A FEW  ADDITIONAL WAYS TO USE OUR NEWSPAPERS. Saving Money - One of the most important things for some people are the coupons. - Insulation from the cold. Roll it up and place it under doors or windows where you have leaks. - In addition to scrunching them up to start our fires, we can make fire logs out of them, which   burn a lot longer and help ignite big pieces of wood. Kitchen - They make cleanup easy for messy tasks, such as shredding vegetables. Do your prep on   top of the newspapers, and then just pick it all up and throw it away. - Use newspaper to wipe heavy grease from the oven before you clean it. - You can dust high places with newspaper by making it into a roll, and cutting one end into   strips. Pets - Litter boxes. Clothing - Put it in shoes to remove odors and dry them out. - Put it in unused luggage to absorb odors. Garden - Put it in the garden to control weeds. - Add it to the mulch pile. About the Author: Nikki Willhite, mother of 3 and an interior design graduate, has been writing and publishing articles on the topic of frugal living for over a decade.
