I have been able to cut down our food budged,  have some food storage in the house and only need to go grocery shopping every 2 weeks or so because of Costco. When I first started shopping there, I was super happy that I had a food saver so that I could repackage the purchased food into the right portions for us. Soon after we realized that our freezer was becoming to small for us. If by chance we need to buy a bag of ice we wouldn’t know where to put it!  For my birthday I was given a small freezer, that I could put in the garage to store things that we didn’t use as often and meats. So we got the freezer up and running, and put most of the frozen things in there. The only problem that I had with this new freezer is that every time I had to grab something I would be digging around. Also keep track of things that we needed was not working out well. I then decided to take another of my mom’s suggestions and take everything out and put the meats in boxes and give everything a place, instead of just opening the freezer and putting stuff in. After giving everything it’s place I was able to take an inventory, and make sure that everything was dated so that I would know when the repackaged things where frozen. Once again, thanks mom! :)

I add a quiet a few magazines in the office that had articles that I wanted to keep. I had recipes that I wanted to try, garden ideas that I wanted to do in our patio, and other articles that I enjoyed reading but I didn’t really know where anything was. So I took my mom’s suggestion and started to go over the magazine, took the articles out and categorize them, and got ride of the rest. The articles that I have kept take less that 1/4 of the space, I’m able to find the thinks that I’m looking for with in seconds instead of looking over magazines for an unknown period of time and sometimes even giving up on it.  So by listening to my mom I can now find articles that I want and have a lot less clutter in the office.  Thanks mom! :)
