I watch these kinds of videos all the time, but many of them aren't giving any new or even useful ideas. Your ideas were clever, useful, and NEW. A lot of them I haven't seen before! Thank you!
Are you sure you didn't grow up in the depression. Everyone of your ideas are so cost conscious and creative they seem like something my grandmother would have done. Your ideas are so creative that they cut through all the blah blah from video creators saying the same thing. Thank you for sharing all of your ideas. Loved them all.
girl I can't remember the last time I watched a repurposing/crafting video and said "whaaaaat" in surprise so many times. Your ingenuity is great, they are very simple, practical, easy, and use things that almost everyone has on hand. I also love that you don't dilly-dally, you get right to the point. I am subscribing.
So many ideas! I especially liked the suggestion of binder clips on a hanger to keep tops from sliding off and the one about cutting down a plastic water bottle to hold a wet umbrella. Thanks so much.
Thank you so much for sharing these ideas. Every time I have an empty container or bag or anything I always wonder what to do with it instead of throwing it away. You have given things to do that I could not think of. I am sharing your video with others. I will make sure my family sees this video and maybe they will no longer think I am a pack rat or hoarder.
I live pretty frugally, so I usually know a lot of these frugal internet hacks already, but you really think outside the box, or even come up with new ways to use the box. I especially liked the charging station made out of the old shower rack. Way to go! Thank you for all these good ideas.
@@frugalcreativeliving you’re welcome! Keep doing what you’re doing because this is great for the world we live in right now. Less is best, ( when it comes to financial spending for me anyway 😂)
I've had these beautiful old hankerchiefs lying around for years not wanting to get rid of them. i made the tissue holder with one of them and it's so cool! Thank you for your tips!
I like the fact that you don't have to go buy anything special. You already buy those things good for the environment. Good way to repurpose! I love the video
1:30 mark - small tissue box for desktop trash is very smart idea! Thank you, it saved me time while working and time on cleanup. 😀 Okay, I'm back to add several more of your ideas to my LIKE list. 😊
Great ideas. I use egg cartons to store christmas decorations. I have small christmas balls that fit perfectly in them. Also boxes from TicTac are perfect for bobby pins.
We seventy somethings are post war born from parents that lived through WW2 with rationing and shortages. My grandparents would talk about the depression, which was not as bad in the UK as USA from what I understand but was bad for them because they were poor. So saving resources and money is just part of our lives. Thank you for a great video.
You are my hero! I'm waiting to get into senior housing and love the idea of using an old frame, putting a kitchen saying on it, then hang the appropriate utensil on it. How creative! You spark creativity in others. I see you crochet too. Will have to look thru old videos of yours.
What a fun to see you organize all those things with empty cans and packing like i do. Here are my ideas for you: 1. painting the cans of chickpeas, peas ecc and using them for pencils, sissors, make up tubes and mascara, kajal ecc. 2. I use the plastic packing of minzed meat in my freezer to organize. I use the chewing gum plastic cans for those things you have put in the egg carton. Greetings from Cologne in Germany
I travel a lot, and in my toiletries bag I use the contact lens cases for my face wash, moisturizer and yes Vaseline and Vicks… best idea for purse or carry on bags. Thanks so much!
Many clever ideas, and I appreciate that they are quick and easy. I don't have hours to craft or the patience or talent to do many of the things I have seen in other content. Well presented, too!
I use empty cereal box liner bags for shaking chicken in flour for oven fried chicken. They don't break! They are also good to open up flat and use in a tortilla press. I even bought contact lens cases to use for pill bottles in my purse, and to keep by my chair in the TV room.
Oh my goodness, my Auntie used cereal box cardboard for lists, back in the 70s so it's a classic. And darn it, I just bought some dohickies to keep my dish towels from falling to the floor! Hair clips would have been so much cheaper. I've got a cereal box just right for my cutlery draw and I'll be saving my cookie trays now too. Thank you for the video, I really enjoyed these tips.
This is the second video of yours I have watched and you just have such great, simple ideas!! Thank you so much for sharing. I am starting to look at things, especially plastics in a new light- like if i HAVE to have this in my house, how can I utilize ?! Thanks so much!!
I'm almost 60, I've lived a hard life, and now at my age of experience in life I've became very stingy with my compliments because I choose to save my compliments for only those I feel deserve them most and I do this whether it is a cook , quilter, dog walker, or whatever including someone sharing tips to be more frugal ❤ I enjoyed this video. I've subscribed, and you are lovely. You show more than a lovely smiling face as you also have brilliant ideas. Thank you.
My mother washed out cereal bags to use as sandwich bags when we went on picnics. There was no cling film in those days and tin foil was considered too expensive.
I use any scrap paper for shopping list. I cut off the clear part of any bills (no writing on it) for shopping lists. Shred the rest. I Keep old socks and cut up old t-shirts for dusting. Use a big pill bottle lid to put my meds in that I have to take with my breakfast. Lids can be used for bug poison and put in corner of cabinets. Empty cans I use for tools and put under sink. Use empty coffee cans to store items in and label. Stack in cabinet. Also empty Tide pods containers for storage. My husband uses all kinds of empty bottles, cans etc for tools and nuts, bolts and nails etc. I cut off old jeans pant legs, sew up one end and my husband puts tools in them snd puts them in his big tool box on back of truck. Have also made bags with a draw string for stuff like a hair cutter and accessories. Love these type of videos. My Mom used to reuse a lot of stuff. I don’t like the idea of using cardboard for a grocery list. Can’t put it in your pocket.😳
Wow! Pray your channel grows super fast as you have such a way about your presentation and the content is so inspiring and informative. May God bless you and you family. You have blessed me so much ❤ Love from the UK
Great ideas.. I just bought a rechargeable flash light yesterday and was wondering how to store the small charging cord and the pill bottle idea sounds perfect for putting it in and labeling it what it goes to. Anna In Ohio
The cereal box is a great idea but I don’t understand how some cereal box just stink so bad now . But then again , this is such a great tips . I love all of your videos . I always take notes while watching them . Stay blessed darling 🤗🙏🏾
l love yr channel. .l love reycling too. l was going to throw out an over stretched winter jumper last year ( to big to now wear ) in a lovely burnt orange colour, then noticed it was 'seamed; and not 'overlocked' so was able to unpick and unravel the wool. So all during the yr, while watching tv, l was able to make an Autumn colour granny sq throw, a water bottle cover, a few Autumn colour coasters for my pot plants and a pr of fingerless gloves, all free , for this Fall/Winter. l now look to see that any jumpers/cardigans l buy from thrift shops are' seamed' so l can unravel when garment has worn out/stretched , to make next year winter items.
This is great. The world has become a "throwaway" society.
Reuse, repurpose, recycle, saves money and the environment. ❤
Thank you for the new ideas to add to recycling ❤🎉❤

Right? Brilliant.
Great presentation, clear, concise with no blather or annoying music... and you didn't say HACK. I just subscribed!
Welcome to the channel!
I love the idea of reusing the plastic bags to make a mat. Thanks for sharing!
I use cereal box liners, cut up to separate pancakes, burgers & sliced cheese to freeze if I buy bulk

Glad it was helpful!
Thanks! some of those tips I hadn't ever thought of. A great way to save garbage and the environment!

Wonderful! You're welcome!
I really liked the binder clip hanger for tank tops, the tuna can watering guide, the handkerchief purse tissue holder and the dry erase calendar.
I like the fact that you don't have to go buy anything special. You already buy those things good for the environment. Good way to repurpose! I love the video
Absolutely!

I was really impressed with the inside bag of cereal boxes. Thank you!
They really do come in handy!
My mother washed out cereal bags to use as sandwich bags when we went on picnics. There was no cling film in those days and tin foil was considered too expensive.
I love how u just got to the point of theses ideas good ideas. Thanks…
I use any scrap paper for shopping list.
I cut off the clear part of any bills (no writing on it) for shopping lists.
Shred the rest.
I Keep old socks and cut up old t-shirts for dusting.
Use a big pill bottle lid to put my meds in that I have to take with my breakfast.
Lids can be used for bug poison and put in corner of cabinets.
Empty cans I use for tools and put under sink.
Use empty coffee cans to store items in and label. Stack in cabinet.
Also empty Tide pods containers for storage.
My husband uses all kinds of empty bottles, cans etc for tools and nuts, bolts and nails etc.
I cut off old jeans pant legs, sew up one end and my husband puts tools in them snd puts them in his big tool box on back of truck.
Have also made bags with a draw string for stuff like a hair cutter and accessories.
Love these type of videos.

I don’t like the idea of using cardboard for a grocery list. Can’t put it in your pocket.😳
I use pretty saucers for a heat proof spoon rest
Kool ,,,Ilike a lot of these ideas,,The water bottle made for the umbrella ☔ love that,Thank you for sharing 😊
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Brilliant ideas. I do have a question though. what method do you use to secure the plastic bag mat?
Good question! I tuck the ends and hold them in place with double stick tape I got from Dollar Tree.
I re-use envelopes from my bills, using them for grocery lists.
My grandmother always did that!
@@frugalcreativeliving I might be the same age that your grandmother was.
Especially great to put the coupons inside for that list!🙌🏻

Thanks for these tips, some of them I already do.
I love your ideas, I used an old calendar in a dollar tree frame making a collage from a serenity calendar.
These were very good tips and I have not seen them before!
So glad it was useful!
My favourite was placing your yarn in a plastic jar. My puppy Sasha loves yarn and completely wrecks. Ruth down under
