Money Challenge-Day Seven-Stock and Broth
It’s the end of the first week of the challenge. How are things going so far? We’ll conclude this first week with yet another challenge that’s about using up everything we buy. We’re going to make stock and bone broth. Don’t throw away vegetable peelings, chicken bones, beef bones, instead turn them into stock and broth that you can use throughout the week in things like soups, gravy, stews and chilis. They’re a whole lot better for you than the processed kind. ‘See’ you again tomorrow.

Think of all the money you’ll save on fertilizer this year. ‘See’ you again tomorrow.

Money Challenge-Day Four-Non-Food Leftovers
Yesterday our challenge focused on food leftovers so today we’ll turn our attention to non-food leftovers. Empty jars, clothes that have seen better days, inner rolls of paper towels etc. Be of the mindset that everything can have a second life. Today take something that you’d usually just throw away and see what you can do with it. Maybe it’s something that you can use for storage and hence you’ll save money because you don’t have to buy storage jars. It could even be something you’ll make into a craft that you’ll one day sell for extra income. Today is your chance to think outside the box. ‘See’ you again…

It also prevents you from going to restaurants when you mutter the words ‘I have nothing to eat for dinner tonight’. Today you’re going to check on your basic pantry supplies.
