Today we are purging and organizing the freezer.
If you have been “Just Making Do” for the past 14 days this process should be MUCH easier today than it was on Day One.

Take the plunge. Try something new.
Change up your menu and try that “exotic” food you bought six months ago.
Yep, I am talking about that specialty item you have never been able to pronounce and have NO idea what to do with.
Google it. Dig out granny’s recipe books and see if it existed when she made granddad dinner at home every night.

What is “Just Make Do January”?
“Just Make Do January” is the perfect opportunity to use up all the food, chemicals, health and beauty supplies in your home AND kick start an emergency fund in 2016.
“Just Make Do” means instead of running out and purchasing new we will be creative, be building new food combinations and using up any “leftover” bottles, supplies and groceries we have on hand.

25 Simple Ways We Saved This Week
1.) We stayed home.
Yep, very simple. We did not participate in shopping online or in store the day after Christmas
2.) We created a paycheck by paycheck budget for 2016, beginning with the check we received on Christmas (we get paid bi-weekly). My wonderful hubby even created a spreadsheet to update as I change the numbers when bill amounts fluctuate. (Saving me a huge amount of time doing math each month.)
3.) We were blessed with perishable groceries from an unusual source.
We have a family friend leaving for a short family visit and they asked if we wanted to consume their perishables while they were gone. Of course! A gallon of milk, some fresh, crisp apples and other assorted items means we saved at least $10 we would otherwise have spent on perishables this week.
4.) We joined and uploaded receipts to Receipt Hog.
We earned 280 coins by uploading this week’s receipts (for any store), filling in our information, playing a free “pull” and confirming our email. If you would like to earn free money that can be cashed in for PayPal or Amazon Gift Cards, I suggest you sign up too. If you use this code SKAN9388 when you sign up, we will both receive a free “spin”. ( My first spin earned me 14 coins towards those gift cards). I figure I already spent the money at the store, a few extra minutes to upload the receipt is worth the gift cards at the end of the year.
