Living better, spending less.
To save yourself a little time and hassle, put a few extra trashbags in the bottom of your trashcans. Then when you take out the trash, you can just reach in and grab one to replace the one you’re taking out!
In my house, taking out the trash is my husband’s job, but replacing the bag is mine. (Some might say we are a touch co-dependent…) It’s not much of a big deal in the kitchen, where I store my trash bags, but in the other rooms of the house, it’s kind of a hassle to go to the kitchen to get a bag every time I notice that the trash has been taken out. This way, I can just reach in and grab one without stopping whatever I’m doing. Quick and easy!
When I became a stay-at-home-mom, I promised I could save our family money by shopping sales and maybe even using a few coupons. I had no idea what I was getting into. These days, I am on a first-name basis with the cashiers at the local drugstores, I haven't paid for toothpaste or shampoo in over a year and I spend my free time here, helping others do the same. So please, make yourself at home while you learn how to save, and when to spend!
