Here is a chance for you to share your frugal successes this week. Did you find a good use for an item that would have been destined for the trash can? Did you try to develop a new skill? Did you find a creative temporary solution to a need (something that will work until you find the best deal on the real item you want)? Or did you just walk out of the store empty-handed instead of pulling out your credit card?
Here's mine: this week, I tried to spot-treat the stains on some of our favorite white t-shirts. Unfortunately, the bleach pen I was using left a bluish-purple ring around each stain where it was applied. Instead of throwing them away, I made plans to tie-dye the shirts next week, so I set them aside in a bag along with several others that are too stained to wear.
Leave your successes in the comments section. Please share your experiences! That’s the way inspiration happens.

This week I conquered my fear of using an item for a purpose other than what it was made for!
I had some old crib sheets that I've never used (hard to use them when you don't use your crib, ha, ha!) so I decided to cut them up for napkins and wipes. It took a few hours to convince myself that it was okay to cut up a perfectly good crib sheet, but I finally did it. I now have more cloth napkins, some cloth wipes, and some bit of elastic for my sewing bin.
I even washed out two plastic baggies to reuse this week. Now I'm off to the store to return an impulse buy.
I love that you even thought to save the elastic for future projects. Regrettably, I have thrown away many pieces of elastic when I'm done cutting up the item. Thanks for sharing your ideas!
