How to reduce paper towel usage for greasy stuff?

Caught this from Lifehacker :) Happy greasing! :D

Clean Grease With Newspaper (and Stop Wasting Paper Towels)

After reading this tip about saving paper towels, reader tdub97 shares another great tip for keeping your consumption down:

Another great way to stop wasting paper towels is instead of using layers of them to absorb grease after cooking fried foods, take a few pages of newspaper and top that with one paper towel. Then put the bacon, or whatever you want to degrease, on top of the paper towel. The towel absorbs the grease, which is then sucked down and absorbed by the underlying newspaper. This not only conserves paper towels (newspapers are a lot cheaper), but it's also is a great way to repurpose old newspaper…Eat bacon, Save a Tree!

What to do with used 'ang pows'?

If you're an avid traveller, then this is the perfect idea for you.  I usually keep all my notes and coins in the same pouch.  Albeit organised, but still cumbersome when I have to pick out the right currency when I'm beckoned to travel.  I keep the Japanese Yen in a separate wallet altogether to save trouble, but the rest was just... :S urgh, especially when it's difficult to differentiate between Cambodian and Thai coins :P

So, here you go.  I'm reusing the 'ang pow' packets from last Chinese New Year to categorise them into countries.  The packets are deep enough to also keep coins, so there you go :) No more picking the wrong notes and getting stranded in a foreign land!
