Tuesday Tips, Week 29
This week’s Tuesday Tip is something I’m borrowing from Tightwad: repurpose clipboards for photo and illustration frames and holders. I don’t use clipboards very often, but I seem to have a few laying around my house. I wouldn’t necessarily say they are an archaic office supply quite yet, but they are probably heading in that direction for many industries. So, what should you do with your old clipboards? Tip # 29: Display beautiful works of art! Save money on...

This week’s Tuesday Tip is wash your laundry in cold water. My job doesn’t require me to get very dirty, at least not normally (unless you want to count dirty little hands touching me!)

Or, use the unprinted areas for note paper. Tip #26: Reuse the back-side of your print outs. Use every scrap of paper and save money on having to buy ream after...

This week’s Tuesday Tip, pick up trash at your local park or favorite camp site. It often blows my mind how an entire bag of fast food can end up on the ground at my favorite campground. People should feel privileged to experience the great outdoors instead of trashing it. This weekend while camping, my husband and I walked around the camp site and picked up a small bag of trash. I felt like the little bit we did was good for the park. Tip #25: Make it a challenge; pick up 20 pieces of...
