This week's Frugal Friday favorite is coffee filters. They are usually about the right size to cover a dish in the microwave and stop the splatters. Otherwise, I use a paper plate, but those are thicker, so I feel I can't toss them out every time.... oh my, that sounds ridiculous, but it's true! I've used them to wash windows and mirrors.... no streaks! I also like to use a crinkled up newspaper for this job too. The real test of my favorite will come with spring window washing!
You can also use them as a quick funnel... make the hole as big as you need, or use it as a strainer for liquids. These are also great for kids snacks, popcorn, chips, etc., and they are great to hold a taco!
I know there are lots of fun crafts you can make with coffee filters like snowflakes, flowers, etc. I think this can be an endless frugal treasure!
What is your frugal favorite?
