Make It Do or Do Without Challenge

Hello there! Time for an update (sorry that I plumb forgot on Thursday, I have been super busy with a project...more on that later).

Here are a few things we have done lately in lieu of shopping for new things:

USE IT UP

Invited some company over to finish off more of the previous week's party leftovers (tons of food and beer)
Turned my nearly black bananas into banana muffins for snacks
Transformed some stale bread into french toast for breakfast
Persevered with the econo toilet paper we bought to try, hated it, but used it up anyway

WEAR IT OUT

Traded a box of books with my mom instead of hitting the bookstore
Hunted for a relative's old collection of Legos in the attic to give to my son instead of buying new sets

MAKE IT DO

Used vinegar instead of white wine in a recipe
Substituted ramen noodles for angel hair pasta in a recipe
Broke off a pencil's eraser and used it as a replacement back for an earring

DO WITHOUT

New shoes for me when the dog ate my black flats
DVR for all of us
Lattes before church for me and hubby
Visiting the new indoor water park everyone is raving about (way too much $)

How are you doing?
