Or do without.

I love this poster and the saying.

I think about this often when I am crafting.

Use it up
Wear it out
Make it do
Or Do without!

I have made pants for my son out of an old pair of my jeans.  Repairing clothing is a common thing in my house.  I don't get hair cuts or wear make up.  My son, husband, and brother all get haircuts at home.  My Mom gave us her old pair of clippers and I've been cutting the boys hair ever since.  Anytime I want to make a project or do something around the house I look at what we have before considering buying anything new.

We all have lots of little ways of saving money.  What ways do you use?
