Take the time to sew your pillow covers, sew your curtains, do your mending and repairs, sew on the buttons to make clothes last longer, and sew Christmas gifts. All save money in exchange for time. Paint your house yourself - easy enough. Saves oodles of money. Grow a garden. Harvest your garden. Go fishing, clamming, crabbing, hunting, and preserve your catch. Learn to can, freeze, dehydrate, and cook from scratch with your home stocked cupboards. Saves big money!!! Find your library's online order site - Put a hold on library books, movies, music, magazines. Then just go in and pick them up at the front desk. Save money by not buying the books! Cook huge once a month or twice a month and freeze meals for easy eating later. Is cheaper to do large batches, and saves that dining out money when you are pressed for time to fix dinner. Take the time to ask yourself - is there some way to do "this" without spending money, or without spending as much money??? Learn to do it yourself, and save oodles! Do It Yourself.

The notepad acts as a running grocery list for me. I save time by buying a "spare" the next time I am at the grocery store and not making a special trip to get it. Keeping my pantry stocked saves me both time and money in the end. I can also pull together something to eat from what I have on hand .-= Kandace´s last blog ..<a href="http://66.147.242.155/~pantrydi/?p=384" rel="nofollow">Spaghetti Pie</a> =-.

I also like to do what I call a kitchen clean-out once a month. I basically round up anything that's been in my fridge or pantry too long and find a recipe that allows me to use it. I have sort of an internal contest with myself to see how many new and creative ways I can come up with for using up things.
