PETS Does your cat like to gnaw on electrical cables? Discourage him or her by dabbing the cords with Grannick’s Bitter Apple or another deterrent spray for pets. Cats hate the flavor.

MONEY Save money by swapping your liquid hand soap dispenser for a foaming version. Its pump turns regular liquid soap into foam, so it takes about half as much soap to create a lather, according to one study. You’ll also use about 16 percent less water.

Podiatrist Jacqueline Sutera says that wearing the same shoes day in and day out can cause foot fatigue because you’re constantly using the same areas of the foot for support and walking. Make sure you have a few pairs of comfortable shoes and rotate through them.
