Dust off the crock pot and use it. It is a big time/energy saver. Put everything in it in the morning and dinner is done by the time you get home and/or are ready to have dinner.

Ice Packs
 
Keep some of the ice packs that you get from the drug companies. There a numerous ways you can use them. Use them in the car during the hot summer months. Use them as a cold compress for pain. Use them to keep your meds cold while traveling. Use them in a fishing vest when doing outside activities during warmer weather.

Caution: Don't use them on your hands/feet if you have a burning sensation.:eek:
