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.

I’m in good company with my love of all things used. If you think buying used is just for people who are on a tight budget, think again. The most famous large family, the Duggars, routinely buy as much as they can used. Their motto is “Buy used and save the difference.” The Items We Typically Buy Used.

Little things like taking the stairs instead of using the elevator or getting off the bus a stop earlier than normal are great ways to fit in some extra exercise without doing anything drastically different. Use your lunch break productively. You can also try exercising while you’re doing other things. Start the day off right.

Being a freelance blogger is all about being organized and using your time wisely. There’s mindless television on at all hours, and then the regular events at home can get in the way. Everyone works differently; I used to be a night owl but now I’m a relatively early riser. I like to have things planned out.

No matter how much money we’re bringing in, just about all of us feel as if we could stand to cut down on our spending and put a little bit more money into our rainy day fund. Most of us view those “big” expenses, such as a replacement television or a remodeling job on our home, as what can set us back financially.
