Problem: When it comes to shopping, you always put yourself last. Your husband, your kids and even the dog get the new before you do. Now your favorite summer sweater is starting to look like something out of the dryer’s lint trap—but back to school shopping is just around the corner. What’s a thrifty mom to do?

Solution: Don’t toss that sweater just yet. The makers of Hollywood Fashion Tape have developed the Hollywood Sweater Saver ($6, hollywoodfashiontape.com) to remove those pesky ‘pills’ from your clothing. The natural pumice stone rids your clothing of that goose bump appearance without snagging, revealing a sweater that looks brand new.
