A friend of mine emailed me this last week and I was truly amazed.  I just had to share it.

coffee filter Coffee Filters Man’s New Best Friend

Coffee filters which can be found at your local dollar store will now be your best friend. Here is why:

  • Use them to cover dishes when cooking in the microwave.
  • Use them to clean windows, mirrors, and chrome. They leave no lint.
  • Use them to protect china by separating your dishes with one filter between each.
  • Use them to filter a broken cork from wine.
  • Use them to protect a cast iron skillet. The filter will absorb moisture and prevent rust.
  • Use them to apply shoe polish.
  • Use them to recycle frying oil.
  • Use them to weigh chopped foods on a food scale.
  • Use them to hold tacos or other messy foods.
  • Use them to stop soil from leaking out of a plant pot.
  • Use them to prevent a popsicle from dripping.
  • Use them to wax your eyebrows.
  • Use them to suck up grease from fried foods like bacon.
  • Use them for razor nicks.
  • Use them as a sewing backing.
  • Use them to prevent odours. Put baking soda in a coffee filter and insert it into drawers.
  • Use them to strain soup stock or tie fresh herbs in to put in soups.
  • Use them to prevent spilling when adding fluids to your car.
  • Use them as a spoon rest or to clean up small spills.
  • Use them to hold dry ingredients when baking.
  • Use them to wrap fragile gifts.
  • Use them to remove nail polish instead of cotton balls.
  • Use them to sprout seeds. Dampen the filter and place the seeds inside, then fold and place in a plastic bag until they sprout.
  • Use them as blotting papers when pressing flowers.
  • Use them as a snack bowl for popcorn or chips.

Really, I am sure you could think of  a few more uses if you tried. Amazing discovery though hey. So are you going to put coffee filters in your basket next time you head to the store?!
