Just because you're a bachelor (or bachelorette), you don't need to make excuses for your lifestyle. You know that you're too busy studying, working part-time, or watching necessary reality television programs to be able to properly maintain an unreal cleaning standard.
And that's okay. But if you think that your apartment, basement suite, or dorm room is getting a little too out-of-control, then maybe a few bachelor tips can help you make an adjustment, and make your living space just a tiny bit more tolerable to you, your roommate, and your friends.
I'm as poor as a stump, as all my money has gone towards tuition, books, and my transit pass. How can I turn my TV tray into a banquet table?

Dear Broke,
There are many ways to stretch out your food budget, and one of my favorites has always been the "Heinz Surprise". When your ketchup bottle appears to be empty, and all you see are little red globs and streaks on the inside of the bottle, put a little bit of hot water inside and give it a good shake. Voila! An endless supply of delicious red condiment. Tomato soup anyone?!
