Being creative and resourceful during these economic times.

Tweet

My wife is such a gem. She reads a lot of books and recipes from a variety of resources. About a month ago, she was reading something she found on the Internet about making your own preserves and all sorts of neat things that we can create on our own from fresh fruits and vegetables, thus eliminating the need for us to buy the name brand labels at the grocery stores. So, she has been having us to save all jars, large and small. She is also homeschooling our children and therefore she is planning to use some of the jars as arts and craft projects with them. What measures have you and your household taken to be more resourceful? Do you think we could make our own preserves one day and maybe sell them? If so, I'll be sure to write about and share a new discussion about it, as long as mylot is still around!
