My kids are now beyond the point that I have to worry about them removing a AA battery and trying to ingest it, so I have started using clear packing tape to hold the batteries in on such fun toys as the Vtech – V.Smile Pocket Learning System.

Hold in batteries, change and more...

Another notable implementation of clear packing tape is to replace a lost piggy bank plug. If you keep a tiny piggy bank from Las Vegas on your dryer like I do, you might find that you have to empty it into your Disney fund frequently. The tape provides easy access to your ching-a-ling.

Finally, if you are late to work and notice a major lint or fuzz invasion on your black pants, a strip of clear packing tape can be a fast alternative to more costly (and often missing) lint rollers.

The other day, it occurred to me that I would be crazy to buy ANY MORE PRODUCTS until I’ve used up the hundreds of half-used bottles in my bathroom.

This is only a fraction of the insane amount of products I have.

I will be keeping track each time I kill a bottle, and will tally up the dollar amount of each product I finish.  Each time I do this, I am going to put that dollar amount in the Disney fund!

Have you created a similar challenge for yourself? If so, comment below!

Well, and once all of those items are gone, I guess I’ll need some new shampoo…
