Things I stopped throwing away at home

In the past 5 years of living in my own place, I've picked up on some easy things to save and keep around the house.

1. All birthday decorations, it's so easy to save them and saves you so much money.

2. All extra rubber bands that come on flowers and produce, and I use them when storing food, for closing chip bags, etc.

3. Any extra condiments that come in take out! It's perfect for lunches or on the go.

4. All gift bags and tissue paper. Easiest thing to store and save so much money.

What do you save at home?
