TMR Frugal Living Tip #43
Today's thrifty tip is use the back of a used envelope or junk mail to write your shopping list. You are reusing a used item. Most envelopes are long enough to write a pretty long shopping list. You are saving money by using new paper and trees.

Haha! I do this all the time. Though I never considered it was a frugal-living idea. I just do it because I always have envelopes laying around in my kitchen from bills, or whatever. I always use evnelopes from greeting cards for this, and especially bills.
Like Laura, I do this all the time, but now I will make an effort. I never thought of it as saving a tree (or money) I mostly do it because I can never find a regular piece of paper. Thank you for bring this to my attention.
What I want to learn how to do is how to make my own recycled paper. Then I can take all that shredded junk mail and make more paper! That's a good TMR tip for crafty mamas at least, huh? :)
I actually do this. I never thought of it as being frugal though, it was usually the only paper I could find.
I love your tips and how they help! This is a good one which I will use.
Thanks for the tip! I'm a writer, and I cut up excess paper to use as scratch or note paper. We're lucky here as well, we recycle "everything" and I send my paper there too!
LOL, I do this often. I thought I was just being lazy, but it looks like I was being frugal! Yay! LOL! This blog rocks, though, seriously. I love the short daily tips. Consider me a fan! :)
I do this, too! Mine is out of pure laziness of not wanting to find a piece of scratch paper. Great tip!
Believe it or not, my grandmother, who grew up in the great depression, made grocery lists on the back of used envelopes...guess that's where I picked it up from!

I use the front, the back and then tear it open and use the inside! LOL And it's great for holding the coupons you plan on using for that shopping trip!
