So this year I've decided to save all the bows and ribbon's from the presents that were opened on Christmas morning to use for next year. They are still in perfect condition since they were simply torn off the presents and tossed aside, and i can simply tape them on the gifts next year (I have to tape them half the time anyways since the sticky part of the bow doesn't always stick to the wrapping paper). Bows and ribbon don't cost that much to buy new so its not a huge savings but every penny counts on our mission lol. Also I'm trying to find ways to cut down on purchasing new items and buy second hand or in this case "reuse".
A blog of one familys quest to be frugal, learn to homestead, become self sufficient and become environmentally friendly a.k.a. green all at the same time. "The end goal is.....My husband gets to quit his full time job...FOR GOOD :) and we are able to sustain ourselves without it"
