TIP - Use What You've Got!
You Can Be Creatively Frugal with What's in Front of You
There are many reasons to make a trip to the
store...for ingredients to try a new recipe, cleaning
supplies that are running low, a special new outfit for
an upcoming event. It's just an automatic response
that if we need or want something, we go buy it. But
is it always necessary to dash out to get we think
we need? Or monetarily wise?
Understandably some items are just needed when
there needed, like diapers! But other times...stop
and think about some alternative possibilities. For
instance, when it comes to cooking, different
ingredients can be substituted without sacrificing
flavor and can produce tasty new results! Click
here for a list of ingredient substitutions.
Cleaning supplies are other items that you can
concoct right at home with ingredients you likely
already have. Vinegar, lemon, ammonia and baking
soda are common household items that can be used
in different ways to do the job the expensive store-
bought brands can do. And it's much less toxic! Click here to find "recipes" for cleaning
supplies that will
save you time at the store and money in your wallet!
Fashion is always calling us to the mall or our favorite
neighborhood boutique. Try shopping at thrift stores
and consignment shops if you've just gotta have
something new but the checkbook is really maxed.
Better yet, look no further than your own closet and
I bet you could piece together something smashing in
no time. Dress up jeans with a nice blouse, belt and
a scarf...try different shirts under sweaters and
blouses to give them a fresh look. And wear those
boots you've been saving only for special
occasions...if you've got it and you like it, wear it!
