Tuesday Tips- Freecycle for Fun and to Cut the Clutter

It is much easier to be poor when you are well organized. Less goes to waste and you never buy another of something because you cannot find the original.

So get rid of crap you do not need and acquire crap that you do need for FREE! Click on this site to find your local group.

Lori and I have gotten rid of a lot of things that we would have just thrown away, otherwise. Last Fall, I got all of the pinecones in my yard cleaned up by freecyclers and we received a chest freezer to store the garden produce. The freezer still works well and it was free! I suggest that you sign up for individual emails, as the items get spoken for rather quickly.

"The Freecycle Network™ is made up of many individual groups across the globe. It's a grassroots and entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving (& getting) stuff for free in their own towns. Each local group is moderated by a local volunteer. Membership is free."

Mealtime Monday- Cutting Costs with C.O.R.N.

Cutting Costs with C.O.R.N.

A great way to save some money and time is to institute a weekly Clean Out the Refrigerator Night (C.O.R.N.) for dinner. This is particularly great for evenings that are packed full of other activities. Even elementary school kids can heat something in the microwave. Less wasted leftovers and you get the night off from cooking!

A tip from Detra for those who shop at Food Lion-
"Thanks for the tips. Just wanted to share that Food Lion has mixers called "No Worries" in the frozen section that are $1.00 each. There is a coupon on the freezer door for $1.00 off each one... SO FREE MIXERS!!!!!"

Now if we could just find a way to get free booze....
