This clipboard holds your lists and organizes your to-do items with the use of binder clips. Just insert your daily or weekly lists, then mark them "done" by snapping the clips over the line items. This saves paper and ink, and we find it rather fun!

I use a lot of coupons. As a result of this, I get makeup for free or very inexpensively. I used to keep everything in one large bag, but it was hard to see what I had. I now separate my makeup into individual makeup bags. You can also use plastic zip-top or slider bags as well. I now can easily see how much of each type of makeup I have, and, if I'm running low, can keep my eye out for a good sale.

Bulk items are a great way to go in order to save money and eat healthy. These varied items will help you avoid all the excess packaging that most food products come with now again. They tend to be cheaper than packaged, brand name products as well.
High Volume Holiday Cookie Baking
By Ginny
I often bake up to 100 dozen cookies around the holidays to give as gifts. For the drop or rolled out type cookies, I start the day after Thanksgiving by making various cookie doughs, and freezing in zip bags.
