Keep birds out of your fruit trees. Hang twisted strips of aluminum foil all over your fruit trees using fishing line. The light reflections and the sound will keep birds away from your fruit.
Make your soap last longer. Put a piece of aluminum foil on the bottom of your bar of soap to keep it from sitting in a puddle of water and wearing away quickly.
Protect your furniture. Pets can’t stand the feeling or the sound of crinkling aluminum foil. If you want them to stay off of your furniture, cover the seats with clean aluminum foil whenever you’re not using the furniture. Your pets will learn within a couple of days to avoid sitting up there. You can also prevent them from scratching or biting furniture legs by covering them in aluminum foil.
If your TV and DVD player are stacked one on top of the other, you may find the picture is a bit fuzzy. This often happens when the electromagnetic fields from both devices interfere with each other. Place a sheet of aluminum foil between them to cut down on the interference.
Cover doorknobs and hinges with aluminum foil to avoid having to take them off while painting.
Reflect heat into your house. Put a layer of aluminum foil behind your radiator when it is off and completely cool. When the radiator is turned on, more of the heat will be directed into the living area and less will be absorbed into the wall behind the radiator.
Thanks for these tips Glory - I'll be shoving a sheet of tinfoil between the TV and the DVD player in the bedroom... in the hope it will improve the picture. I'll report back later!

Great uses for foil!
I have also used it for once when I had a cat who was going at a certain spot in the house , I placed tin foil paper all over it....they don't like to step over it , because of the noise it makes....

That he didn't, didn't already have
And Cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad"

The birds keep eating my blueberries. I'm going to put some foil on my bushes outside. See if it works.
Thanks for the tips Glory!
