Whether you’re looking to score a good deal or simply want a few extra minutes in your warm and comfortable bed, these life hacks will help save the day.

Even if you love life hacks, I’m almost positive that you haven’t seen the life hacks on this list!
If you want the best deal on flights, look on Tuesdays at 3 PM, six weeks before your flight. It may seem pretty arbitrary, but sales and deals are compiled on Monday night, so by Tuesday afternoon you’re looking at the best deals.
If you’re addicted to your phone but hate wasting your data plan, those days are over. Simply go on the Foursquare page of the establishment you’re at. Chances are, the WiFi password will be in the reviews and comments of the restaurant or store you’re in, saving your data plan.
Although most people use Tums for stomachaches, they have another, lesser-known use that could save the day if you’re in a lot of pain. If you get back ulcers, cold sores, or canker sores in your mouth, put a whole Tums in your mouth and place it on the sore. Not only will it stop the pain and provide a coating around where it hurts, but it will also help heal your cold sore!
If you’re sick of this winter and the ice scraping that comes along with it like I am, this is the life hack for you. In a spray bottle, combine three parts white vinegar and one part water. Keep it in your cabinet with your other cleaning supplies, and when the weather gets super cold and icy, spray it on your windshield. It will make the ice melt off your windshield. It may be time to say goodbye to your trusty ice scraper!
If you love cooking with oil but hate the splattering, try this instead. Simply add some salt to the pan. It will completely stop the pan from splattering while you’re cooking, which means no burns and easier cooking for you!
Tape is basically an essential tool in life, but trying to peel it off, especially when you’re in a hurry, can be frustrating. Avoid those extra minutes (yes, minutes, because sometimes it’s just one of those days) and put a paper clip on the roll of tape each time you cut pieces off.
If you love your frozen treats more than the average person but can’t figure out how to ward off freezer burn, I have the answer. Put your tub of ice cream or favorite popsicles in a plastic bag, seal it well, and then throw it in the freezer. You will never have to throw out and waste your favorite ice cream again!
