Keep vegetables or fruits in the fridge fresh for a longer time

The tried and tested method is to keep the fruits and vegetables in foil bags. You need not rush out to the stores to buy them, or start googling for them in your favorite online store. You can recycle foil bags from potato chips bags (those that are non-oily after you finish the chips), oats or cereal refill packs in foil bags, coffee or other drinks refill foil bags. The shiny surfaces of the bags keep the vegetables or fruits from being frozen in the fridge.

The other way would be to wrap them up in newspapers before keeping fresh fruits and vegetables in the fridge. However, be careful to keep the newspapers dry as damp newspapers will cause ice to form on the newspapers and result in fruits and vegetables rotting faster.

Keep bugs away from cars or vans

Put a bunch of pandan leaves or bay leaves in an old pair of panty hose.

Place the leaves in the car boot or dark corners where bugs and cockroaches hide. The bay leaves and pandan leaves will keep the bugs and pesky insects away.

Another advantage of using pandan leaves, it will freshen up the interior smell of the car too!
