One of the best ways to keep from throwing cash in the trash is to find new uses for items that you might normally throw away.

• Re-use baby food jars for storing and sorting nails, screws, tacks, or office supplies.
• Re-use baby wipe tubs for small toys, drawer organizers for socks, or a computer disc or thumb drive holder, etc..
• Baby formula cans are great for dozens of things like storage of small toys and sand castle molds. I have also used mine for lifts and levels under a buffet table cloth.
• Save cardboard boxes for re-shipping gifts, making cars, forts, and other various pretend toys. You can also cover boxes with colored contact paper and make giant stacking blocks.
• Make a sand-box scoop out of an empty ½ gallon milk jug with a handle. Just cut the bottom half off and put the cap back on and there you go. Scoop away. This also makes a great dog-food scoop.

Re-Claim your throw-aways and Re-claim the JOY!
