Give up the gym membership! There are so many ways to exercise without going to the gym and, after a while the gym just becomes an expensive extension to the office and just as much of a pain.

If you do DVDs at home, there’s no lugging gym bags to work and save on the travel time.

Many tickets to events and local attractions are available for free or discounted through our local library. Ask your librarian if they have any free or discounted tickets available for local museums, home shows, etc.

A neighbour was throwing out all his tile samples and I collected them, ripped them off the cardboard, stuck them down to some cork mats and turned them into table coasters for my dinner table. The cardboard went in my wood burning stove!

The colour scheme is a bit interesting!

I’ve never made jelly so this recipe is very enticing to try…. A for reusing the trays, I have been saving them and trying to find random uses, I like the idea of using them to present baked goods as gifts.

haha, I am so that person! My family is definitely irritated by my little frugal quirks. I always turn off the computer if someone is away from it for more than 30 min or so. I son always comes back in and yells “Ma! Stop turning off the computer!” haha

I have been doing the Caesar Wrap for a few years now…it is yummy! Even my picky teenager will eat a few of them. I have used shredded parmesan when it is on sale that is pretty good too.

LOL….I do all of the above. I grew up not having ‘the choice’ to do some quirky things like…opening up the toothpaste tube or cutting open the hair gel container to get out the last little bit. I guess those things just stick with you, lol. My hubby used to make fun of me but NOW he will ask if I have a ‘coupin’!! He’s been converted (but he still won’t cut the toothpaste tube). BTW…love this website…so many great tips!
