I bought a large jar of petroleum jelly at the dollar store and use it on all the vinyl in my car. It works wonderfully. My car is shining like new now, and doesn't have any greasy feeling or chemical odor left behind. I feel I must respond to the person who keeps their flowers in the refrigerator at night to help them last longer. They may actually be shortening their lives by doing this if they also have fresh fruit in the frig.
Fruit produces as gas as it ripens that causes flowers to age faster.
I have learned from my dear mom who loves to negotiate a price. I purchase family size packs of ground chuck when it goes on sale and divide it into 1-2 lb. portions. These portions, I place in quart-sized freezer bags to store in my freezer for later use. I found that by placing the freezer bag, with the unfrozen meat inside, on its side and 'pounding' on it with my hand so that the meat makes a flat package, I could utilize more space. It's much easier to stack and store that way.
