We're back to my favorite spot in the house - the kitchen! Some more terrific, time-saving tips! Ok, my first piece of advice is to GET organized. I said this on Monday, but this is an absolutely NECESSARY place to start! The kitchen has GOT to be organized. Things need to be where you use them most, and they need to be easy to find! If you have a snow cone maker or a hot fryer beneath your cupboard, and you haven't used them in at least 6 months, MOVE THEM SOMEWHERE ELSE! (In fact, get rid of them if you can!) But if you cannot bear to part with them, just send them to the garage or basement. Store them SOMEWHERE else to make organizing a little easier in the kitchen.
So here is my Friday frugal tip -
Save on spices. Buy fresh herbs from the discount rack at your local produce store (usually around .40 cents a bundle or so) and hang them to dry in your house. They may be wilted when you buy them but it doesn't matter because you're just going to dry them anyways. Then crumble them up and put them in your spice jars. Spices cost between 1$-4$ so it's a big savings. PLUS the added benefit, is usually your spices are going to be MUCH fresher than the one's that have sat in those bottles forever - meaning, you need to use less of yours to get your acquired taste ;-) SEE! You save money both ways!!
Have a great weekend!
