We do lots of frugal things - many already mentioned -
I also plan my weekly menus around what's on sale - and
use coupons and keep the pantry stocked with on sale items.

Here's one of our all time favorites from when the girls were
very young. We made these as Christmas gifts.

Very Important Person napkin rings

Take the tubes that paper towels are rolled around and cut them into 2 inch lengths.

Buy some attractive ribbon at an Arts an Crafts Store - we used the kind that was bendable to curve around the rings easily.

Cut the ribbon into lengths to fit around the rings and secure the ribbon with a glue gun!

Since they were for family members- we knew the colors to use
to co-ordinate with their dishes.

They were cherished for years and the girls still treasure the
memory of having made them!

Blessings to you and yours!
