Repurpose that newspaper
Sure, the recycling bin is a great home for yesterday’s newspaper, but even better – reuse it first! Newspaper is a great deodorizer. Have a room in your house that seems to collect odors? Wad up some newspaper and toss it under the bed, inside a cabinet, behind the armoire, in the tupperware dish you used for Aunt Ethel’s pickles – you get the idea.
Want a couple more uses for the Daily Post? Wad it up in puddle-drenched shoes to help them dry more quickly. And did you know that newspapers (and coffee filters too) will give your mirrors a great shine? Use with your favorite window cleaner or just plain diluted vinegar.

I use it in my Smokey’s litter box.
I put a couple of sections flat on the bottom and tear the newspaper,ads and tv section into strips and drop it in.She took to it right away.
Very easy to clean and no litter mess.I also tear the pages out of the the phone books.
You can also roll up several sections and put it in your tall boots to help keep their shape
you can also use it as toilet paper
