Cheaper than a Plumber Call Out - Monday 1st June 2015
Approximate $ Savings: $85+
After 1 or 2 'almost have to call a plumber' panic moments because of a blocked sink, I realised that grease/fat is one of the worst things to create such an issue. Now, no matter how small amount, I use a spatula, (yes, they are the best thing to have in any kitchen!) and I scrape even the tiniest amount of cooking oil or meat juices into a disposable cup (I use the cut off bottom section of my 2 litre milk containers!) and store the grease in the freezer. Once the grease container is full, I then put it out in the rubbish. Since doing this, I have not had that panic feeling of outlaying for a plumber, and it makes cleaning my fry pans etc. faster and easier.
