Frugal Tip: Boot Storage

This is one of those "Why didn't I think of that?" moment!!
Now that it's summer, you have probably put your boots away? But if they droop, it's bad for the fabric/leather material.
You could stuff your boots with newspaper, but that usually doesn't work so well.
You could buy Boot Stands, but they are expensive - especially if you have more than one pair of boots!
Why not use a
pool noodle in place of boot stands? It is so much cheaper ($1.00-$2.00 at the Dollar Store). Just cut them to fit your boots - tall or short!
