You know the feeling: when you're out, you have to pay one euro in cash at the cloakroom. You pay with a ten-euro note and end up stuck with a pile of loose change. What can you do with it? Create a jar and put all the loose change you can find into it. Do you notice that you're breaking the bank very quickly and the payment from Duo seems a long way off? Then you can use this jar. That way, you can still buy your dinner after all.

But what if you only have a microwave and no oven? Or if it takes half an hour for your oven to heat up? No need to panic, because the solution is at hand. Put your pizza in the microwave and place a cup of water next to it. Wait a moment, and your pizza will be just as tasty as from the oven. By the way, this magic formula works for many other dishes too!

Suddenly, you get a message from your friends: "We're on our way. Chilling at your place, right?" Oops, forgot. You jump up and run to the cupboard. Luckily, you still have a few bottles of wine and beer at home. They haven't been chilled. So, the challenge for you is: how are you going to get those bottles cold in time? Simple: you wrap a newspaper around the bottles and put them in the freezer for a few minutes. In no time, the bottles are at the right temperature, and you can enjoy a cold drink.

If you don't have a newspaper to carry out lifehack #3 and always want to be well prepared, make sure you always have grapes in your freezer. Then, when you're in the mood for a cold glass of wine, just put a few grapes in your glass. What results is cold (not watery!) wine and a grape to eat.

Your money is almost gone, and then the realization hits that you haven't thought about the music. A party without music is like a glass of flat cola and a Christmas party without food. How can you solve this without spending money? Grab a toilet roll and cut a slit in it big enough for your phone. To prevent the toilet roll from rolling away, stick pins into the bottom of the roll. Et voilà: a speaker! Placing your phone in a small bowl has the same effect.
