[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 438777, member: 1233"] For cat litter check out the stuff they sell by the pound at the pet stores. I get them confused and am always calling the one here by the wrong name. The stuff at the one in my town is awful, but the other chain offers a really GOOD scoopable cat litter by the pound for a lot less than the big brands. We usually buy fresh step because it works very well and the buckets are reusable. husband wanted to container garden and saved a bunch of containers, but then didn't so I washed them and sorted toys, etc.... into them. Also, if you clear your browser cache/history and cookies you can print more of some coupons. ANd if you have gmail you can put a period (.) anywehre in the name and then the @gmail and it will all go to your email. For example, if my email was [email]susiestar@gmail.com[/email] then I could also use [email]susie.star@gmail.com[/email], [email]su.siestar@gmail.com[/email], and any other configuration I wanted and all the emails would go to [email]susiestar@gmail.com[/email]. I don't use those for most things, but for something like cat litter that was important when we had a cat that would ONLY use a specific expensive brand - she would go pee on clothing otherwise, and often we just couldn't afford it with-o coupons. But we couldn't afford to NOT have it either. I also make a lot of bread in the bread machine. Or pizza crust. Those little packets and jars of yeast in the grocery are expensive as all get out. But you can get 2 POUNDS of yeast at Sams for under $5. It comes in 2 one pound packages and they go a LONG way as most recipes call for about 1 1/4 tsp or the amt in a little packet. I also get huge containers of bread flour when I have enough empty ice cream buckets to store it in. It seems to keep just fine for about a year on the pantry shelf and is WAY more affordable. For containers to use around the hosue for storage, sorting, etc... check with local restaurants. One here in town gets mushrooms for fried mushrooms and they come in plastic containers. They are a very "green" conscious restaurant and were before green was popular, so they always have them stacked up and ready to give away. Ditto the pickle buckets, and other plastic containers that food comes in. It cannot hurt to ask a store if they have any that they can give away. If you want to make boxes that look nice, re-use cereal boxes, etc.... and cover them with wallpaper. Ask at the local wallpaper store or lowes or home despot to find out when they replace the wallpaper books. Local stores usually have more to give away than the big lowes type stores. But you can get all kinds of patterns which are usually pre-pasted and work very nicely. I have even recovered scrapbook albums, made photo frames, etc... with those scraps. [/QUOTE]
