Frugal Living Tips Weekly (May 26, 2019)
A good way to reduce cleaning and organizing is by simply having less stuff. This theory can be adapted to all sorts of parts of your home. Could you do with less kitchen gadgets cluttering up your drawers? Do you need to keep every single photo you take, or just the very best ones? It's a good way to declutter and pare down your life to the essentials. If you have any frugal or time saving tips, please share them with us. Not only will your ideas be shared with the ThriftyFun community, you might win $50 in one of our upcoming contests.
