I have another 20 quick and easy money saving tips to add to last week's 20 I shared. If you can spare 5 minutes you'll be able to fit in one of these really simple tasks and save some money along the way. Maybe make it a goal to do one each day.
Can you spare 5 minutes to -
* make a bottle of Miracle Spray.
* put a bucket in the shower to save the warm up water.
* cut up an empty cereal packet to use as go between for meat, muffins and crumpets for freezing.
* save and reuse your bread bags around the home instead of using bin liners and plastic wrap.
* close your curtains on a cold day / hot day to help with temperature control.
* put a chicken carcass in the slow cooker with water and herbs to make chicken stock, then soup.
* write a menu plan for the week using what you have on hand.
* hang washing on a clothes horse instead of using the dryer.
* cut up old holey socks for garden ties or use whole as dusters.
* transfer old towels, hand towels and face washers to the kitchen or laundry for further use.
* make up your own herb blends ( taco, Italian etc ) in bulk then store in a container.
* make up an extra batch of biscuit dough to freeze for further baking.
* take cuttings of plants in your garden to eventually fill in gaps or give as presents.
* plant a few veggie seeds in your garden or a plant pot.
* dig around in the garden looking for volunteer seedlings. When found, dig up and plant to fill a gap.
* grate a 1 kilo block of cheese yourself. Add corn flour, shake and freeze excess.
* spray paint and old item to give it a new look. Vases, frames, jars and jugs are quick to do.
* portion out bulk buys of meat before freezing.
* put shopping bags in the car for the next grocery run. No need to buy bags ever.
* juice and freeze those lemons you grow or were given.
