Frugal Woman


On Friday last week Laura and I attempted to organize our bathroom cupboard and drawers because it was getting difficult to find certain necessary items. I have always been amazed at Laura's drive to reduce, reuse and recycle and after this experience I see how deep it runs in her veins. Many of us have heard the saying, "use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without," and after our organizing experience I feel that we could add to the end of that saying, "and if you aren't sure how to do the following place it in a random drawer until you figure out how."

Of the precious treasures that we found some of my favorite treats were:
  1. Old deodorant remains in a worn out plastic bags
  2. Lotion bottles cut in half to get every last bit and than forgotten.
  3. Urine analysis strips from Physiology lab
  4. 2 years worth of expired aciphex medication
  5. At least 1o years worth of contact lenses
  6. Broken curling iron that surely could be fixed
  7. 5+ Wrinkled magazine cut outs of cool hair dews
