i got excited
58 ways to save money
by taking frugalness to the next level
so i started looking at the list
to see how many that i am doing
im sorry one of those i just cant do
reusing toilet paper
now they didnt explain that one
so
even my imagination cant come up with
how to do that one
so
there are now 57 ways to save money
so here are the ones that here today
in this blog
i will admit to doing
maybe
i drink only water when i go out to eat
ok i will admit i do it cuz i like water better
unless of course
i drink a glass of wine
we only pay cash for christmas gifts
we meal plan and use a grocery list when
i shop
my wife she isnt allowed to shop for groceries
i only get things that are on the list
aint on the list i dont get it
plus
i always omit one item thats on the list
we my wife she that is washes and reuses
ziplock bags
when we do get plastic grocery bags
which isnt often
we use them to line our small trash holder
now this one wasnt on the list
but
we recycle everything we can
and take it to a small recycle center 10 miles
away sponsored by the small town near here
then
whats left is what goes in our small trash holder
this trash
since we no longer have trash pickup
at the country n
we simply put in the trash bin when we buy gas
which is about once a week
savings on this one
$500-600 a year
i have a relative that saves their chapstick
you know like when it wont roll out the
tip anymore
they use a toothpick or something like that
to dig it out
i dont go that far
but i do use it until i now longer can
get it out with my finger tip
you can also do this with lipstick
here is one i might try
cutting the end off toothpaste to get
that last bit out of the tube
now
here is a good one
ask a relative for a big pack of toilet paper from
somewhere like sams or costco for christmas
it could last a year
now
there are 58 of these ideas
some i just cant do
some i already do
i added some
