So I’ve decided to bring back this little ditty that I started doing a few years back. Instead of trying to start up a new linky, though, I’m just going to share tips and missions I’m setting for myself to do a better job at the old adage Use It Up, Wear It Out, Make […] Read more…
Use It Up #7
This week, I did fairly good at using up the food in my fridge. I even used some leftover french bread from one of our dates to make super yummy baguette chips! I also used some rice leftover from our potluck on Sunday to make beans & rice which turned out FAB! I find that […] Read more…
Use It Up #6
No huge successes or failures this week. I wore out the other pair of jeans. They are so thin that literally ANY MINUTE, I may have a huge gaping hole in a place that, well, no one but DH should see. I used up a lot of leftover buns for garlic bread. I’ve even used […] Read more…
Use It Up #5
I got nothing this week. Well, i guess that isn’t true. I DID get most of the leftover bean dip from the party eaten on Super Bowl Sunday. My goal for this week is to eat up all the junk/treats that remain in our house in preparation for Lent. Luckily, there isn’t much :). Some […] Read more…

Well I kind of have a mixed bag this week. USE IT UP – FAIL – I still threw out what seemed to be a TON of food this week, BUT SUCCESS – I tried to use up a bunch of leftover couscous in a frittatta. It was okay, but nothing I’d repeat. […] Read more…

Use it Up #2
Not such a great week for me here as far as conservation gos… Use It Up– Still struggling to not waste food! I did manage to use up some turkey and other things before they went bad. Working on using up my Vitamins. I have tons but if I remember to take them daily, I […] Read more…
Use It Up #1
USE IT UP – Last month, I decided to not get a new Christmas tree even though I want one. It’s old. It’s fiber optic (I’d like something a little more traditional at this point). The branches don’t hold ornaments that are heavy. At all. Not only did I decide not to get a new […] Read more…
Use It Up, Wear It Out, Make It Do or Do Without!
I’ve decided to start a new meme or carnival for the frugal type folks. I’ve been trying really hard to be a good steward of what God gave me and keep the old frugal adage in my mind: Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without! To help with that, I’m […] Read more…
