Save money----Use what you have

Save money---use what you have. I work on this almost everyday. It's so true. Lots of times we don't need to go to the store & buy more. We have plenty just hiding in our cupboards waiting to be used!

Shell, this is so true. I'm really trying to use up what I have while building up my stockpile. We're eating at home all the time now so that is helping to save money. Yup, becoming more creative with the cooking is definitely more frugal.

The article is good. So true!

I am always surprised how many lotions, cleaning products etc that I could be using. It's always a good idea to clean out your cupboards to really get a good idea how much you have of something.

That's a great reminder Shell. I never thought about typing in the ingredients I have on hand and typing in them into to google to find a recipe. Where have I been?

Great site!! Thanks!!! Google recipes will be a great asset to me since I'm trying to use our stockpile up so I don't have to move it across the country!!

That is so true Shell...Even last weekend when I have cleaned the house...I just never thought that I still have those lotions, perfumes and creams in my drawers. Which I keep buying every month, coz I have nothing left, but its just actually in there.
