Trash to Treasure Thursday.....A little late!

Sorry for this post not being on Thursday, but as you all know, it was a very busy time during the holidays. This particular day, I was up for a total of 24 hours!  Here is the info....

Save those infant formula cans, they make great goodie "bags". I saved several of the cans and wrapped them with wrapping paper, added some tissue paper and filled with goodies for family and neighbors. Here are the pictures.....ENJOY!

Sorry I have not posted tips of the day. My husband is having some gallbladder issues and we have been busy with doctor appointments. Merry Christmas everyone!

Frugal Tip of the Day

Always Always Always shop thrift stores! Whether you are looking for something particular or just browsing for the afternoon....chances are, you can find it second hand. Just the other day, I was in a local thrift store and purchased the following for $16 total. To beat it all, I sold one of the books online and made $17.50....this paid for my shopping trip!

• Ankle length plus size wool coat $4
• 4 books including weight watchers cook book, life books, and a nursing text book (sold online) $4
• Name Brand clothes for my daughter $8

Have you ever wondered why everyone just tosses those old brass candle sticks to goodwill? I mean really....everywhere you go, you see them. Well, I see them in a different light...  After purchasing a couple of neat ones, and a few plates to go along with it,  you have cool new cake, candle, or cookie stands. Check out these pictures!
