Low Cost Protection For Paper Info In The Kitchen
A useful and inexpensive item to keep around the kitchen is a roll of clear contact paper. It’s also referred to as “laminating adhesive”, “clear peel n’ stick” or “shelf liner”.
Aside from its original use as a surface protector for old cabinet shelves, clear contact paper can be put to use as a low-cost recipe saver.
Many experienced cooks regularly find food tips and recipes in magazines or make use of a new combination of ingredients after printing them out from websites. If you’re like them, you’ll need a way to keep those articles or printouts safe from spills and easy to keep clean.

The cheapest way to do it is to sandwich those articles and images between the adhesive clear plastic of contact paper and trim the edges with a pair of scissors.
There’s no need to stop at recipes either. If you have a kitchen scattered with loose cards, addresses, often used notes, or phone numbers . . . those too can be gathered, arranged on a large, sticky clear sheet, and covered with a second. An added advantage is that you’ll be able to see both sides of all those notes!
Pick up a roll the next time you go shopping and try it with a small list of phone numbers or web addresses. It really keeps the paper free from moisture, smudging, and tearing! Also, a single roll will last a good long time.
