Did you ever break something only to be told, “it was never meant to be used that way”
I find that in my frugal lifestyle there are lots of situations where I have to make do with what I have on hand and that often means using something for other than it’s intended purpose.
Bykeeping an open and creative mind I often see potential in something that is outdated and therefore throw away or donated to a second hand store.
For instance:
Remember 3 ½” floppy computer disks?
These labels were bagged together with something I purchased from a second hand store. Knowing they had some potential I’ve held on to them.
I’ve been making jam and need some canning labels.
Using a circle punch and the floppy disk labels I’ve found a cost free solution.
Leave me a comment if you do the same thing.
