This is a simple trick that can be applied to many things around your home. It’ll save you money, while giving the illusion you can fritter your money away on fancy things; reusing a fancy tissue box by refilling it with a cheaper brand of tissue. Because you’re fabulously frugal.
What you’ll need:
– fancy tissue box
– cheap tissues for when fancy tissues run out
– 2 paperclips
Step 1: go through fancy tissues as you normally would. Step 2: when fancy tissue box is empty, don’t throw it out! Heavens, no. Carefully open the side of your tissue box {or bottom, depending on the box}. Step 3: fill with cheaper and otherwise blasé brand of tissues, then close your tissue box with the help of two cleverly disguised paper clips. I use paperclips in stead of tape, since tape may peel the fancy pattern off your tissue box.
It doesn’t sound like much, but this reduce, reuse, recycle trick can be used with loads of stuff around your house on many levels. You just gotta think outside the box.
Do any of you have your own sneaky and deceptive tricks that you use around your home? I bet you do.
