Organzing

A great way to organize your scarves, ties, etc.   Easy to see what you have!!

The Ultimate Closet

So the children have been out of the house for years.....what to do with the extra bedrooms? I for sure want to keep one bedroom as a spare room for guests, but the other bedroom is now my closet. I added an extra closet for clothes. The walls have several racks for me to hang my jewelry on. All of my stuff is easy to see and easy for me to make selections. One wall has all of my handbags hanging on hooks, also easy to see. I have a desk that I use as a home for my makeup and hair products. This is where I put on my makeup everyday. This keeps our bathrooms free of all of my stuff. And of course, the room is lined with my shoes!!! I love it and highly recommend it!

Organizing Idea......

A great way to organize your scarfs or even his ties.

Put shower curtain rings from your local dollar store on a hanger. Put each scarf or tie thru the curtain ring. It is easy to see what you have and does not take up a ton of space.

A Fresh Smelling Sink.....

Any time you have a lemon that you are cooking with or that is going bad.....put it down your sink for a fresh smelling sink.....

Organize your jewelry

A great way to organize your necklaces and bracelets is to use a sewing thread holder. Paint it the color of your wall and hang all your jewelry on it. It is a great way to see what you have and make it easy to make the most of what you have. It is also easy to put your jewelry away at the end of the day.

Ice cube trays

A great way to organize you earrings----use ice cube trays.  They come in great colors at the dollar store.  Just put 1 pair per cube slot and you are all set!!

Weekend Dinner Planning

Take time on the weekend to plan out your meals for the week.  You are more likely to eat at home and save some cash, if you have a plan.  I decide on the weekend our meals for the week.  I get the recipes out for each meal and make sure we have all the ingredients.
Sunday---Roast beef
Monday ---pizza night (eat out)
Tuesday --Chili (crock pot, get ready monday night)
Wednesday--Chicken on the grill
Thursday -- (leftover night)
Friday -- Salmon
Saturday -- Chicken skewers
I always make sure I have a bag of potatoes and fresh vegetables on hand for sides!!
If I feel like going out any certain night instead of cooking, I accidently drop the food on the floor----(just kidding, we have it for lunch on our day off.

Organzing will save you big money

The more organzied your home is, the more money you will save.  It will keep you from spending money on things that you already have, but have forgotton that you have it.  Start with containers and 1 area at
a time.  Even start with 1 cupboard and try to do one every day.  No one has a whole day to spend on organizing.  You won't believe how much difference it will make in your home if you just spend 15 minutes a day.

Set up your kitchen cupboards for success....

To save tons of money on your grocery bills, stock your cupboards with everything you need to start out.  Then every Sunday you will take your ad's from all of your area grocery stores and match coupons to items you use.  Then go to the store's and only buy exactly that.  Nothing more.  Jack and I would have a shopping night and hit all the stores in our area.  We would come home with $150.00 worth of groceries for $25.00.

Also when you find something at a great price, but it by the case.
