Come on, frugals, we have to do more posting [View all]
in this group or they will think that it is dispensable!!!!! I don't have all that many idea, and can't keep coming up with new posts, so I am depending on the rest of you to get into the game!
The phrase of the day is "double duty". I want everyone to come up with ways that you make things do double duty. I'll start, and I am hoping that everyone reading this is FRUGAL, or you will think I am a nut case.
1. When socks wear out and can't be worn anymore, I use them as dust rags. A sock on each hand and I can really go to town, as well as dusting all the knick knacks at the same time I am moving them around.
2. I have a huge pot in one side of my double kitchen sink. When I need hot water and have to let it run, I collect that water. Then it can be used to water plants, fill my tea kettle, etc. I mean, it IS clean water.
3. This one is a little iffy, because people are often appalled when they hear this, so please don't judge too severely. When the cemetary clears the artificial flowers in the fall, I go andl find the ones that are still new and use them to decorate in the house, to make wreaths, or to use on the grave the next year. Why should they go to the landfill when they are in excellent shape!
Your turn, folks. Start a new post if you want to get activity going here.
