Welcome to "What Did You Do Frugal #12!"

One frugal thing that I have done lately is to take all the extra "stuff" out of my car. Any extra weight makes you use more gas.

Today I cleaned out the cabinet in the kitchen where we keep a lot of dry goods like cereal, oatmeal, sugar & flour. I found a can of peanuts with a handful left and lots of other boxes with only a bit left. I put those things into reusable containers. It takes up less space and we can see what's there. Today when the kids want a snack I will encourage them to eat up one of these small servings of something.
