To think I might get money for a tip in a magazine?

[Lindah1]

Just that really, have some ideas which seem loads better than what you read in the mags, anyone had any cash for yours?

[Starlight345]

Nope but some are dire so give it a shot

[LuxeLisbon]

I read one tip in something like Take A Break and it said ... try mint sauce with mushy peas. Delicious!

... yeah and maybe next try strawberries with ....cream!

[Bananalanacake]

The funniest one I've seen was use those wooden sticks you get with coffee as a splint for your finger

[BarbaraofSevillle]

I might offer up gravy with Yorkshire puddings or served canned baked beans on toasted bread if that's the standard expected.

[peachgreen]

Those tips are ridiculous. I saw one on Twitter which recommended adding a clip to one of those shower body scrub balls and wearing it as a fascinator. And one saying to freeze a tube of toothpaste, then cut it up and serve as after dinner mints.

[Rachie1973]

lol me and my friend have a competition to see who can find the worst ones in magazines! These are the winners at the moment!

[dragontwo]

ha ha peachgreen they are ridiculous!! but hilarious!

[Urbanbeetler]

The sanitary towel shower slippers were the funniest.

[BarbaraofSevillle]

I think peachgreen must be following Viz Top Tips on Twitter.

[Angie169]

I saw one saying the easiest way to wash and dry rubber gloves ( marigolds ) was to was do it while wearing them . No Shit Sherlock !

That said I remember a friend posing tips off to magazines all the time ( about 20 years ago ) and she got quite a few printed and money for them.
You have got nothing to lose by trying so go for it , but ,
I would imagine it would be quite hard to come up with things that have not been printed before or on one of them Life Hack sites

[AtSea1979]

Rachie those are truelly awful. The fingers in the teabag one are stained!

[Cinderella2018]

I always remember a joke one in Viz (is that still going?) I read years ago: “Save money. Instead of buying expensive binoculars, simply stand closer to that which you wish to view!”

[angelnix]

This is the absolute winner of crap top tips!

[peachgreen]

@BarbaraofSevillle No these were genuine ones from Take A Break etc!

[angelnix]

I've found a winner..........
"Don't want to fork out for expensive cinema tickets, just read the book instead. Don't forget that you can borrow from the library for free"
Seriously......that is not a top tip!!

[peachgreen]

Here's the toothpaste one. Can't find the shower puff one but I'm looking!

[Lindah1]

Hahaha I'm starting to think that mine are most excellent

[Lavende]

I’m pretty sure they purposely pick the most ridiculous ones for a laugh 😂

[angelnix]

How do people think up some of these?

[gillybombilly]

One from way back when (tongue in cheek, I hope):
Create your own address book-simply get your phone book and cross out the names of everyone you don't know

[bibblebobblebubble]

Here is the fascinator one! Genius

[dingdongdigeridoo]

Do it! My friend got £30 for sending in a terrible tip about reusing jam jars or some crap. Not bad for 5 seconds of work.

The sanitary towel ones are always the best...

[UpstartCrow]

I sent in some ridiculous ones and they posted them under someone else's name. And I did not get my £20.

I'm looking at you, Take a Break.

[OohOohMrPeevly]

My favourite viz one was "to save money on buying an expensive address book simply take a telephone directory and cross out all the names and addresses of the people you don't know".

My favourite Take A Break one was this:

[CheekyRedhead]

Saw this one in Twitter today 😂
