Budget your money, time and space!

Save Money!

Round Up!

An easy way to save money is when writing checks for bills round up to the nearest dollar. Example: The bill is $25.49 then write it in your register as $26.00

Another way is to always pay cash with even bills and then stash the change. Example: Your total comes to $1.26, pay with $2.00 and then put the $.74 in a jar.

Save Time!

Clean as You Cook!

While cooking, wash pots, pans, and utensils as you go along, sometimes using the same piece for multiple tasks. Many times I use the same pot to brown meat for spaghetti sauce and then to simmer the sauce.

Save Space!

Hide Furniture in Closets

My children find it difficult to hang up clothes. I make space in a bedroom by putting bookshelves or dressers in the closet, which still leaves room to the side for hanging if the need arises.
