I wash dishes like this so often, I forget how it must look to a guest hanging out in my kitchen.

What? It’s the best way to do dishes.

Two left handed gloves, one on each hand, two different colors. Sometimes, on a day I feel wild and crazy, I’ll switch the gloves around, putting the blue one on my right hand and the purple one on my left. Y’all, doing dishes is never boring at my house – I’ll tell you that right now.

You know what’s great about this post, and the picture, and all that seems rather pointless?  I actually do have a point.  Two points actually:

1. Never worry about what people think about you when you’re washing dishes. Two lefthanded gloves of different colors worn at the same time? Why, we can establish a new dishwashing trend.

2. If you use rubber gloves to wash dishes and one of the gloves gets a hole in it, save the glove that doesn’t have a hole. Eventually, you can use it with another glove that has lost its mate. You’ll save a lot of money doing this. And I believe we’ve already established how cool you will look…not that we care what other people think.

In practicing this, sometimes my mismatched gloves end up being the same color. Sometimes I actually end up with a left-handed and a right-handed pair of misfits. But more often than not, I end up with two left-handed gloves of different colors. It matters not. They still work just fine.

And that, my friends, is my very helpful, money-saving homemaking tip for you today.

P.S. This money-saving method does not apply to shoes or contact lenses.
