On my quest to be financially responsible and frugal as can be, I find that repurposing items that I already have around the house is my number one money saver. I must admit that I used to be tempted to spend as I walked by Crate & Barrel or the Pottery Barn, but now I just use them for inspiration and make my own!
I have a TON of milk jugs and bleach containers laying around since we use both of these products on a daily basis. My daughter is doing a class gardening project and needed somewhere to store her tools so I got a bleach container and cut out a whole, and there you have it! I decided to turn the milk jug into a container for my clothes pins. It's just the right size and I LOVE the carrying handle.
I encourage you to look around and see what you can do with that old pickle jar or shoe box.
**DISCLAIMER** I by no means invented this concept, and I'm sure it's been done millions of time over. This is my own personal experience.
