Have you heard the old saying: “Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without.”? We were poor, Mom and Dad lived every day showing us what it meant to ‘make it do’ and we often ‘did without’ Here are my thoughts on frugal ways to make things do. Buy good clothing, used. Use up your food.

After my “tidying up” adventures , I was inspired to find other ways of using everyday items to organize my life, otherwise known as my upcycled storage solutions! I like the idea of transforming items that I usually throw away into something useful. A nice way to keep those bulk foods you buy (to save money of course!)

Try replacing some paper products on your list with cloth and re-usable products that you probably have around the house and you will not only reduce your grocery spending, but you will also reduce your waste. I use flannel hankies during sniffle season. I have been using a Silpat Nonstick Silicone Baking Mat for years.

You may have used it in the past to wrap up leftovers, to keep sandwiches fresh in a lunch box or used it to cover the food you have prepared for a buffet. Making skin care at home is a wonderful, inexpensive way to provide for your family’s needs or create wonderful gifts for your friends.

Being that there are only two of us in our household, we never use up bulk groceries before they go bad, making it a wasteful endeavour. This allows us to cash in on the savings without watching our money go in the garbage by food waste. I’m not a huge fan of boxed, canned, or frozen food. Cutting Down.

Acadia’s advice is to be creative and think about your talents and gifts and how you could use them to make extra money. Acadia’s husband used his handy skills to fix up their home that they eventually sold for a profit. Jenn and her husband sold stuff they were no longer using and put it towards debt.
