The Tightwad

Sorry I haven’t written in a few days, I’ve been really busy!!!  Here is my tip for today:

I have to admit, at times, I am really unorganized and I have found that it sometimes costs me a lot of money!!!  One of the pitfalls of being unorganized is sometimes having to re-buy what you have lost.  The most frustrating part is when you find the item you re-bought a month later!!!  Wouldn’t it have been cheaper to just not have lost the item in the first place???  It may be difficult for some to get organized (the really organizationally challenged like me) but it will help you save some dough.  I would suggest taking one area at a time and de-clutter and get it really organized and then move on to a new area.  To save money on organizational tools, reuse things you have like baskets and bins to store things in.  I use cute little pails to put my pens and pencils in.  I’ve even seen people use cereal boxes and make magazine holders out of them.  Use what you have and get yourself organized and you will probably save money in the long run.
