21 Life Hacks Anyone 50+ Should Know

Open Stubborn Jars

Sometimes opening jars can be impossible, even if you have tried all the old tricks of running hot water over the lid, hitting it with a spoon, or conjuring up all the strength in your body.

Next time try using rubber gloves. The gripping on them makes it much easier to open jars. Gardening gloves with textured rubber coating are especially helpful. Grab a pair to keep in your kitchen for when you are craving some chips and salsa.
