No kids = no parties or haunted houses = money saved. We do put up decorations (ones I buy at garage sales or thrift stores and reuse each year). Search the attic, the backs of the closets, the garage and see what inspiration presents. Dad’s old cowboy hat and a rope from the garage can be the start of a cowboy get up.

Every couponer’s dream is to have a stockpile of food, household essentials, and non-perishables stored safely in their home. And if you go a step further by canning, freeze drying, and jarring your own foods, it is vital that you have a safe place to keep everything. The sun can make foods expire prematurely.

Use up your food. No one likes second hand food, but if you fix it differently the second time around it can still be appetizing. With fresh food – buy only what you can eat before it goes bad. Pay attention to expiration dates by organizing your pantry and freezer so that the oldest food is in front.

Never try to use non-canning jars to preserve your food – doing so could lead to dangerous (invisible) bacteria growing in your food. I have found that garage sales , flea markets , estate sales or Mom/Grandma’s basement are the best places to score a great deal on used canning jars.

We don't have a pantry closet, so I use several cupboards in my kitchen for food storage and some shelves in my garage for any overflow. When my cupboards are in disarray, I wind up with duplicates, out of date food, and wasted time. Place your foods near the spot where they are used. Discard any outdated food.

The act of saving. In its simplest form, the thing that makes a person a saver is the act of saving. If you don’t have enough money to put food on the table, you are going to do something about it.
