Simple Saturday: Paper Product Replacements
Simple Saturday
It's the small purchases that add up overtime.
This one is easy. Paper Products we can live without:
Paper towels, napkins, and kleenex. Now, if you can get them for free, that's great!
If not, and you are trying to find all the places you can to cut out spending then this is one of them. Just use washcloths or get some cheap hand towels from some type of dollar store.
Now, please keep purchasing your toilet paper! Coupons and stockpiling is how you save on this one. Scott toilet paper, the regular kind lasts longer than any kind I know. Food Lion store brand is pretty similar. Look for drugstore rebates, and catalinas.
If you have any more ideas on this one, let me know!

Simple Saturday: Free Containers
Simple Saturday: Free Containers
With the economy the way it is I think we should begin thinking of creative ways to avoid spending cash. I believe it's the small expenditures that steal a lot of our money. Last week we talked about free trash bags. This week, let's find free storage solutions!
1. Coffee cans: tin or plastic (the 33 oz kind)
These are good for craft supplies. My husband uses them in his shop to
store nails, screws, etc. Use them underneath bathroom or kitchen cabinets for soap and hair
supplies. A small tin can hold toothbrushes, toothpaste, cottonballs and q-tips.
I'm sure you could find a way to decorate them cheaply if you didn't want to see the
label. This past Christmas, my mother-in-law used them to put little presents in like gloves
and socks. Everybody loved it!
2. Recycle glass or plastic containers with lids.
These are great for little leftovers, homemade dressing, storing beans, rice, noodles, etc.
When my mom cooks my dad pancakes, she always makes extra for us and sends
maple syrup home with them in a recyled glass jar.
3. Shoeboxes.
Great for stationary, craft supplies, pictures, and keepsakes. If the top of the box is neat,
I know of a friend who cuts it out and frames it and they make great pictures, especially for
a kid's room.
4. Baby wipes containers.
Also great for crayons and other craft supplies. Our church has had a bible camp the last
several years and these are great for keeping each students indvidual pencils, pens, etc. in.
They can be decorated with spray paint to look pretty cool.
5. Do you have a handy man at home? Or maybe you are a handy mom! Thankfully I have a
handy man who can make extra shelves in empty closet space out of scrap wood. At a lot of
dumps now they have places off to the side where people get rid of furniture and other items.
Think of it as a free yardsale!
I know to some, this stuff might sound cheap, but if you look at it the same way you do Qpons, a little bit of savings goes a long way. I don't believe we should fear the present and future economy but instead prepare ourselves on how to live without a lot of unessary little things.
Do you have any ideas on free large storage containers? Leave a comment and let me know!

Simple Saturday: It's the small things that add up to big savings!
It's the small things that add up to big savings!
My husband and I have a conversation every once and a while about the fact that most people tend to ignore the little 'costs' that can add up to either big savings or big expenses. So I thought that for Saturday's posts I would start writing about the simple ways we can save money for our households.
Trash Bags
Coupons for these don't seem to help much so here's what we do. Now, my friends and family laugh at me for this one and call me the bag lady but that's alright.
1. For regular trash I reuse the paper or plastic bags from my grocery store trips. (my mom gives me her extras also)
2. Do you have pets? We have chickens, dogs, horses, a donkey and 2 pigs. So we use the paper feed bags for trash also. My husband reuses the plastic ones for covering up things at his shop when necessary.
3. Diaper trash- These can smell up a room fast so I use plastic grocery bags.
4. Small trash cans in bathrooms- once again, small plastic grocery bags.
(When I have company or big groups over, we use the real thing. and if I can get trash bags for free or really, really cheap I will.) The point is however that with a little creativity and sacrifice we can do lots of little things that save lots of money in the long run!
Next week: Free containers. Do you have any ideas for Simple Saturday? Let me know!
