Here at LittleThings, we are constantly trying to find new ways to help you save time and money on the “little things” you do every day.

One of my goals for 2015 is to trade in my coffee addiction for a daily cup of tea, so this next life hack is one that really jumped out at me. In the following clip, which came to us from “The Savings Experiment,” we learn some pretty genius ideas and tricks for reusing tea bags.

Did you know placing a used tea bag on a minor burn, scrape, or skin irritation will help alleviate the pain and speed up the healing process? How about using old tea bags as deodorizers for your gym bag or musty sneakers?

Some of these ideas are really, really helpful, but best of all, they will all save you some hard-earned cash. I can’t believe I went so long without knowing about the dirty dishes hack…everyone should see this video!
