One of the simplest ways to save money (especially if you love bread as much as I do) is to home-make your bread rather than buying it at the store. A loaf of bread from the bakery at the grocery store costs at least $2. You can often find them at thrift stores and garage sales, though!

Having discovered how much better my de-cluttered work space made me feel, I decided to try the same strategy at home. Have a big box ready to take the throw-away items and another for anything that is good enough to go to the local thrift store. As you de-clutter your home, consider more than simplifying your closets.

But, because we leave behind the accumulated stuff in our parent’s household, we really end up with less that we had at home. Some get stuff from stores, the less financially favored head for thrift stores, garage sales, Mom’s house or the trash pickup routes. Starting the life independent.
