Organizing on a budget

When organizing on a budget is easy you just have to look around all the options you have, the boxes that are used for delivering parcels to your door, the pound and 99p shops.

I use the 99p and poundshop for part of my groceries such as milk, cheese, cereal, sausages and Ham for sandwiches etc, to my stationary, such as post it notes and plastic folders which I use very often for projects and storing important information.

My employment has now come to an end now and so the folders I used which have plastic sleeves in them I have reused, as they were items I had bought for my work and great for storing instruction manuals or magazine cut outs that I do keep on fashion, cooking, inspiring articles, exercise and fitness information and useful and helpful information.

To meal plan and to do my shopping list I use a shopping List and Meal planner notebook which I bought from Amazon, only for £3.89 and are sold by a company called Paper Things http://www.paperthings.co.uk/y

I use this all the time for my weekly shopping lists and for planning meals, I work around on the food I have already in my cupboards and fridge.

I do look in newspapers for good shopping deals in supermarkets and online, be careful of the items that are 2 for £5.00 as sometimes they do work out to be more expensive also if you are going to go for these deals plan the meals you are going to make so nothing is wasted. Items such as Mince, Pies and pizza etc can be kept frozen.

I also have a Day To Day To do notebook which again I use all the time and saves me money on printing, as I can just write down each day of what needs to be done. This is available from Amazon for just £4.25.

You can use any notebook and create your own To do book; it is all about as I have said before in my other blogs what works for you, and there are many ways to keep organized, it is just finding that structure and balance to get things done but also that you schedule important things to be done aswell as the things you need to do for yourself, "Your me time".

Many thanks for reading,
