#Tip: How to Easily Remove those Sticky Thriftstore Price Tags

How to Easily Remove those Sticky Thriftstore Price Tags
I make a habit of scouting out the kitchen section of every thrift store that I go to. I'm not entirely sure why, or what, specifically, I'm looking for, but I often come home with dishes. Most of the time they're Corelle dishes to go with our mis-matched set, but this time I found these super cute little mugs for H & A.
The problem with buying dishes at places like Value Village & Talize is the stupid super gummy price stickers. I have spent more time than I care to admit scraping off the stickers & goo, but this last time, I finally got smart.

I ran a folded up paper towel under piping hot water, then pressed it on the sticker for a few minutes.

I carefully and slowly peeled back the sticker, and applied the paper towel again in sections that were reluctant to budge.

A few wipes with the wet paper towel and the mug was sticker free! No mess, no fuss, no wasted time!
