Clutter-Busting Challenge: Get Rid of 7 Things Every Single Day in May

Beginning May 1, 2013, I’ll be hosting a Clutter-Busting Challenge right here on MoneySavingMom.com.

I’ll be going through my house from top to bottom during the month of May. And to keep me motivated and accountable, every week day at 2 p.m., I’ll be posting a picture of 7 things I got rid of that day.

I’ll invite you to join me in this project, by challenging yourself to find 7 things to get rid of every day, too. I’ll have a link-up on the daily post where you can share a picture of the 7 things you got rid of that day, too.

Who’s with me in this clutter-busting challenge? Leave a comment to let us know you’re in.

3 Tips to Build a Gift Stockpile

3 Tips to Build a Gift Stockpile

Published: by on   |  This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

Guest post from Liz of Catholic Deals

My family gives lots of gifts.

My husband and I both come from big families, and we have also been blessed to be able to share in the life event celebrations of many friends — from bridal showers and weddings to baby showers and baptisms. Now that my children are school-age, they also are frequently invited to birthday parties, and we need teacher gifts as well.

We really enjoy blessing our friends and family with presents, but the cost of many gifts can quickly become a financial hardship. That’s where a gift stockpile comes in. Instead of purchasing gifts only when I have a specific event to attend, I buy a variety of gifts whenever I find them at good prices and store them until I need them.

Over the past few years I have refined my gift stockpiling system so that gifts take up only a small portion of our budget, yet we are still able to give appropriate and thoughtful gifts. Plus, I rarely have to run out and purchase a present before a party; I just choose and wrap something on hand!

If you want to build a gift stockpile of your own, here are three tips that I have learned over the years:

1. Purchase only items that are appropriate for your gift-giving needs.

Think about the events that you are likely to attend or people with whom you usually exchange gifts. That crystal vase may be 75% off and would be a perfect wedding gift, but if you haven’t attended a wedding in five years it will probably sit in the closet.

For several years I kept a plastic bin of baby clothes and gifts, since I attended so many baby showers and baptisms. However, now that my friends’ children and my own are older, I have mostly stopped purchasing baby items. With my oldest in school and attending frequent birthday parties, I instead started concentrating on looking for deals on toys.

2. Know your target prices and sale opportunities.

The point of building a gift stockpile is not only to have gifts on hand, but to be able to purchase them for much less than you would if you had to run out the day before a party. Therefore, you should know the best price range that you are able to find with some regularity and only purchase gifts when they hit that target price.

For birthday party gifts, I currently try to spend no more than $5 per gift. I know that if I watch the toy clearance at my local Walmart and Target I rarely have to spend more. I also know to watch clearance sales closely after major holidays, and I have learned the mark-down systems used by various local stores.

I almost completely fill my kids’ Christmas stockings and Easter baskets with items purchased after the holiday the previous year.

3. Limit your stockpile.

Even if you pay your target price for a gift, it doesn’t really save you money if you don’t use it for years, either because you have too many items or you can’t find what you have.

I have found that the easiest way for me to limit my gift stockpile is by space. I have one plastic bin for children’s gifts and one for adult gifts, plus a smaller under-the-bed bin for small stocking stuffer and Easter basket items for my own family. If these bins are filled, I avoid buying more items until I have space. I also clean out the bins every so often.

My personal limit for storing future gifts is about two years. If I buy something on clearance after a holiday, I assume I will use it the next year. If I don’t end up using it, I don’t mind hanging on to it for one more year. However, beyond that I strongly reassess whether I will ever use it, and I sell or donate items that I decide to purge.

My gift stockpile has been a blessing to our family and I hope to our friends and relatives as well. I hope that these tips help you bless your family with your own gift stockpiling system.

30-Day House Cleaning Challenge: Project #29

Published: by on   |  This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

During the month of April, I’m encouraging my readers to participate in a 30-Day House Cleaning Challenge (read more here, if you missed my announcement about this challenge last week). Every week day morning at 9 a.m., I’ll post the daily project and every evening around 6 p.m. EST, I’ll post an update and link-up.

April 29, 2013 Project

Today’s project is to clean one thing (such as your dresser drawer, the microwave, oven, etc.).

I’d recommend thinking of the one area that has really been bugging you recently or that one project you’ve been saying “I’ve got to get that clean tomorrow or next week…”

I know exactly what my one thing is going to be: it’s going to be our bathroom drawer that half a bottle of medicine accidentally spilled in over the weekend. I didn’t have a chance to deal with it yet because we were gone almost the entire weekend, so today is the perfect day to get it cleaned up.

What one thing are you cleaning today?

Come back here at 6 p.m. EST and I’ll have a linky so you can link up your pictures of your accomplishments today!

The Lessons are in the Waiting

The Lessons are in the Waiting

Published: by on   |  This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

Testimony from Tessa of TessaHardiman.com

For so long, things happened quickly for me. A quick acceptance into college. A “quick” courtship — I met my husband right out of high school, which was much sooner than most of my peers. I grew used to having things happen to me fast.

Then, I graduated college and began a job search. My long established trend of quick came to a close. After two complete years out of school, I have yet to find a permanent position in my field. The waiting period has been a tough teacher.

Here are a two things I have learned along the way:

1. You never know what you will discover.

Sometimes our passions are rediscovered in the waiting. I kept a diary on and off throughout my adolescence, but I became a more committed writer when I had to wait. I worked on and completed a full-length novel.

I wrote and had articles featured on huge blogs, including a few here on MoneySavingMom. I was able to work on my first ebook in between temporary employment periods. The waiting time enabled me to develop my creative side.

2. You can be better prepared for any future waiting periods.

I hope I never have to experience the sort of waiting that I’ve had to the past two years. After a few temporary assignments, my hopes would soar that perhaps my waiting was about to end. I would only end up disappointed and back in the same spot. The ups and downs from being employed and then back to unemployed nearly sent me into depression.

Am I thankful for that experience? Not at this moment! I do, however, hope that in the future I will be better prepared to deal with any difficult experiences with waiting.

Waiting is never fun. I like things to happen fast, but this has forced me to slow down. I understand the lessons that I’m learning, but I wish there was an easier way to learn them!

I spent over an hour on my room today (yes, it looked worse than this because I hadn’t gotten unpacked from my trip earlier this week!) and I was excited to show you the pictures.

But alas, Silas somehow got the photo card with the pictures on it stuck down in the crevices of our leather chair in our room and for the life of me, I cannot get it out. I just had to laugh — because that’s just life sometimes, ya know?!

So you’re just going to have to imagine what it looked like before and after! And I’ll do a better job of keeping watch over the photo card in the future. 😉

Should I Snatch Up Every Good Deal That Comes Along?

Read More

Should I Snatch Up Every Good Deal That Comes Along?

Published: by on   |  This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

I would love to hear your thoughts on balancing “snatching up a good deal” versus “impulse buying”. I feel like there are often time-limited sales or good deals that come up, but if I haven’t budgeted or planned to spend that money I have to pass them by or else spend money I really shouldn’t be spending. -Anna

I think this is such an important topic to bring up — because we must have balance in our lives. It’s wonderful to get great deals and bargains, but I think we need to set clear criteria for what constitutes a true “deal”. Otherwise, we can spend a lot of time and money needlessly chasing down supposed bargains that really aren’t a good deal for us at all.

Here are five things that we’ve set up as a criteria for making sure we’re not overspending and that a good deal truly is a great deal for us:

1. Create and Follow a Budget

Without a budget, we won’t have any way to track whether we are truly saving money. In fact, without a budget, we might be spending more money by chasing down sales and bargains.

Sticking with a cash budget has been so helpful to me — especially because I’m not a spreadsheet nerd. I know that the money that I have in the envelope is what I have to spend. And when the money’s gone, the money’s gone. Cash provides instant self-discipline and guarantees that you don’t spend more than you have.

2. Budget for Everything

We have fairly specific cash envelope categories and find that this really helps us to stay on track. For instance, instead of just having a “clothing” budget, we have individual cash envelopes for each person in our family. We don’t just have a Food cash envelope. We have a Groceries envelope and a Dates & Eating Out envelope.

In addition, we budget for everything — from hair cuts and clothing to homeschooling supplies, gifts, and car maintenance. Everything we regularly spend money on (even if it’s just an annual purchase that we routinely make) has a category in our master budget spreadsheet (I’m so thankful that a married a math nerd who loves to create and track things on spreadsheets!)

On those rare occasions that a necessary purchase arises that we haven’t budgeted for, we either have to find a way to shuffle things around in a few categories to be able to afford it, we don’t buy it, or it comes out of our blow cash envelope.

3. Analyze Every Purchase

Because I have a limited supply of cash to work with in each envelope, this forces me to evaluate every purchase and make sure I’m getting the best deal. I’m constantly asking myself questions like, “Do we need this?” “Is this the best use of this envelope money?”

Note: I think that you can get to a point where you over-analyze purchases — like I did with my candle purchase. If you’re agonizing for 30 minutes over a $0.50 purchase, you may need to lighten up a little bit. 🙂

4. Don’t Buy Something Just Because It’s a “Good Deal”

What’s a good deal for someone else won’t necessarily be a good deal for you. This is an important thing to constantly remember. If you don’t have the money for it, it’s not a good deal for you. If you don’t need it, it’s not a good deal for you.

If you feel panicky because you’re missing out on a “good deal”, that’s probably a sign that you need to step back and re-evaluate things. It’s great to get good deals and I’m all about stewarding our money well, but I think we need to be careful that we don’t become obsessed. Life is about a whole lot more than getting the best bargain.

5. Take a Break From Bargain Shopping on Occasion

It’s good to occasionally to just shelve your coupons and maybe even take a break from reading blogs that share bargains. I do this at least once or twice a year — and I find it really freeing!

Taking a breather will help you get some fresh perspective and help make sure that you’re staying balanced in life. And it also usually causes you to be re-energized and excited when you come back to bargain shopping again!

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this topic! Weigh in on this in the comments!

I got up late this morning and that made me a few hours behind all day… but I’m finally getting this post up!

Yes, the junk drawer was in dire need of some help!

Much better!

And then I wiped down all the cupboard doors.

The baseboards and underneath the cupboards also really need some cleaning.

I had to rinse my rag out so many times.

And then I decided to clean the crevices of the sliding glass door. Yikes!

I’m going to clean out some of the drawers and cupboards in my kitchen and wipe down the outside of the cupboards. In addition, I’m going to clean the baseboards — those are always pretty icky in the kitchen!

I’m flying back from North Carolina today and since I already cleaned my linen closet and cleaned my very messy closet, I gave myself another day off the cleaning challenge.

Yes, that’s my messy closet in all it’s glory. And see the after-cleaning picture here.

But I’m back on the bandwagon tomorrow so I can finish the challenge out strong!

Today’s question is from Amy:

I was wondering if you could post my question. I’m pregnant with my second child and thinking about becoming a stay at home mom (Currently working full-time). For moms who have done this, did you find that you spent less because you were able to do more things yourself? Like cooking from scratch, couponing, making homemade cleaners, or more energy to take care of things like cloth diapers? Or are these unrealistic savings expectations? Were there any extra costs that surprised you? -Amy

Three Small Things Can Add Up to a Changed Life

Three Small Things Can Add Up to a Changed Life

Published: by on   |  This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

Change your life by doing 3 simple things each day! I LOVE this practical advice!

Most of us want to change our lives… whether that means losing weight, getting healthier, finding a better job, paying off our debt, moving to a different town, developing better habits, becoming more disciplined, getting more organized, and so on.

Rarely is it possible to overhaul our lives overnight. Instead, change is often the result of small tweaks that happen over and over again for a long period of time.

Those little day in and day out things you do can add up to the major success over time. It’s hard to stick with it and it can feel daunting if you have so far to go to be where you want to be.

I was reading Laura Vanderkam’s new ebook (What the Most Successful People Do At Work) recently and she interviewed Chalene Johnson about her productivity and time management. I thought one thing that Chalene does was especially brilliant. She said that she makes yearly goals and then she challenges herself to do three small things every day to move toward those goals. She writes these three things down and she makes them a priority for her day.

That sounds so simple and doable, doesn’t it? And it means that every day — even if you only accomplish one of the three things — you’ve made a tiny step in the right direction.

If one of your goals this year is to pay off $5000 in debt, today you could:

1) Call and see if you can renegotiate a rate on one of your monthly bills.
2) List something on eBay or Craigslist.
3) Make dinner at home instead of going out.

If you’re working on getting up earlier, today you could:

1) Make a list of 3 things you want to do when you wake up in the morning.
2) Text a friend and ask if she’ll be your accountability partner.
3) Skip that 4 p.m. cup of coffee so you are able to wind down earlier.

If you’re trying to lose weight, today you could:

1) Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
2) Drink a glass of water instead of soda pop.
3) Eat a salad for lunch.

What is one of your big goals right now? What are three simple things you can do today to move you closer toward that goal?
