Save on Trash Bags

For some reason, I just cannot get into the hang of remembering my reusable shopping bags when I go to the supermarket. I also get tired of taking the plastic bags from the grocery store back to put in their little recycle bin. And in our county, you aren't supposed to put them in with the rest of the recycled rubbish.

This month while I was trying to think of a way to save money, I decided, why buy garbage bags. Of course, I know I will need them from time to time for the bigger messes.

However, for the small stuff in my garbage can, a new idea arose.....why not use the grocery bags and department store bags.

I hope this money saving tip will help you enjoy An Inexpensive Way of Life!

Make Your Halloween Costume

Try using black paint or chalk on a tire and rolling it over a Sweatshirt. You would be "Tired"....Someone else could put on a housecoat, an ice pack and put a thermometer in their mouth and be "Sick". Together you could be "Sick and Tired".
