Tips on saving money- Paperless paper towels, using jars for storage (food, pantry items, etc), buying second hand, using what you have to avoid expiration dates, how to look at common items and try to reduce cost (ex. A trip to starbucks is $7. If you go twice a week, you,ll spend $60.62 a month, which is $727.44 a year on Starbucks. Make coffee at home and use travel mug.)
Contemplation Corner
I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.
