2. This kitchen hack will help save you money by not having to throw away food. When you buy lettuce its important to store it properly, or it will go bad. So its important to dry the lettuce off before storing, but keeping the moisture out can be difficult. If you don't have a special container that keeps the lettuce dry, you will want to try this kitchen hack. Try placing a paper towel over a bowl of lettuce before covering.

5. If you are worried whether or not your eggs are still okay to eat and you don't want to take any chances, you can try this easy food hack to figure it out. You can always try the egg float test, but that takes a lot of preparation. This kitchen hack is a quicker way to figure it out. It's called the egg sound test.
