1 Keep Your Cat from Getting a Shock
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.
