How to save money on matches


How do you light a bunch of candles with a single match?

Simple: Use a stick of uncooked spaghetti. It works like a very long match and burns with an even, long-lasting flame. It gives you plenty of time to move from candle to candle, lighting them all with that one noodle.

The spaghetti match trick is also worth remembering when you have to light a pilot burner way inside some grill, fireplace, oven, or stove. It’s like a footlong match.
