No party is complete without chips and dip. But once your friends have left, and the half-eaten bags of chips are put away and forgotten about, what happens next? Before you decide to toss them, try some of these tricks to save your Stale chips.

Tortilla chips can usually be saved and eaten again. By putting them in the oven to bake for just a few minutes, the crispness of the chip will reappear as if they were fresh out of the bag.
