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?

Nope but some are dire so give it a shot

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!

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

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

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.

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!

ha ha peachgreen they are ridiculous!! but hilarious!

The sanitary towel shower slippers were the funniest.

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

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

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

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!”

This is the absolute winner of crap top tips!

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

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!!

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

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

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

How do people think up some of these?

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

Here is the fascinator one! Genius

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...

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.

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:

Saw this one in Twitter today 😂
