So implemented them for our own fridge after I cleaned it out:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YWVvVdPDIjs/TqA0s90GzYI/AAAAAAAAC-g/3M4zk6FHODs/s1600/final.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YWVvVdPDIjs/TqA0s90GzYI/AAAAAAAAC-g/3M4zk6FHODs/s400/final.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5665586278344084866" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I used one bin to hold small dairy products like cheese, butter, etc. The other bin hold our "coffee shop" items like creamers, whip cream, caramel, etc. It helps keep the clutter at bay while promoting a simple, yet organized and functional refrigerator. I found my bins for only a dollar while out shopping one morning. What's better than organized AND frugal tips? Not much. ;-)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1649367642049645415-2461286413230784139?l=simplewives.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1649367642049645415/posts/default/2461286413230784139'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1649367642049645415/posts/default/2461286413230784139'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplewives.blogspot.com/2011/10/on-simple-trick-to-organize-your-fridge.html' title='One Simple Trick To Organize Your Fridge'/><author><name>Mrs. Pedersen</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-spFdCn-wzio/TdUve-zP_uI/AAAAAAAACuw/qYeYffmZIsw/s220/n511312504_1773626_5823546.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YWVvVdPDIjs/TqA0s90GzYI/AAAAAAAAC-g/3M4zk6FHODs/s72-c/final.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1649367642049645415.post-498586097915982505</id><published>2011-10-19T07:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-19T07:32:28.860-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='frugal living'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='recipes'/><title type='text'>Free Soup Recipe Book!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IwQ-1jAuQFo/Tp7fPTpPawI/AAAAAAAAC-I/BGtou76b-jc/s1600/free.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 107px; height: 138px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IwQ-1jAuQFo/Tp7fPTpPawI/AAAAAAAAC-I/BGtou76b-jc/s200/free.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5665210835342945026" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;There is a free Soup Recipes book you can download.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comes with 38 soup recipes!

By simply stockpiling the basic necessities, I don't have to worry about running my bill up on a weekly basis. Instead, I can relax knowing that our basic needs are met.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few places to stockpile necessities without spending a fortune:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Check out your local dollar stores that sell multi-packs of basic items: toothpaste, deodorant, toilet paper, paper towels, etc.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Stock up on cheap dishwasher detergent. Then add a small amount of vinegar in the rinse mode...you will still get squeaky clean dishes without spending a fortune. I spent $1 on dishwasher detergent and it has lasted for over 2 months.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Head to a local store that sells items in bulk that you can purchase such as flour, sugar, baking powder, etc.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The more you stockpile, the less you have to worry. Plus, you can reduce your spending up to 50%!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1649367642049645415-4585112045919379743?l=simplewives.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1649367642049645415/posts/default/4585112045919379743'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1649367642049645415/posts/default/4585112045919379743'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplewives.blogspot.com/2011/10/simple-stockpiling-tips.html' title='Simple Stockpiling Tips'/><author><name>Mrs. Pedersen</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-spFdCn-wzio/TdUve-zP_uI/AAAAAAAACuw/qYeYffmZIsw/s220/n511312504_1773626_5823546.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1649367642049645415.post-655561417120741571</id><published>2011-10-13T06:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-13T06:54:41.055-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='frugal living'/><title type='text'>Free Clairol Hair Color</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ahhe8TIUVq8/TpbtZRjDn-I/AAAAAAAAC9M/fbZzZ_N4g2o/s1600/color.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ahhe8TIUVq8/TpbtZRjDn-I/AAAAAAAAC9M/fbZzZ_N4g2o/s400/color.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662974599927930850" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Head over &lt;a href="https://secure.self.com/magazine/sweeps/1011_clairol/entry/long/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, to see if you are eligible to win a free coupon for Clairol Hair Color!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1649367642049645415-655561417120741571?l=simplewives.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1649367642049645415/posts/default/655561417120741571'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1649367642049645415/posts/default/655561417120741571'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplewives.blogspot.com/2011/10/free-clairol-hair-color.html' title='Free Clairol Hair Color'/><author><name>Mrs. Pedersen</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-spFdCn-wzio/TdUve-zP_uI/AAAAAAAACuw/qYeYffmZIsw/s220/n511312504_1773626_5823546.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ahhe8TIUVq8/TpbtZRjDn-I/AAAAAAAAC9M/fbZzZ_N4g2o/s72-c/color.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1649367642049645415.post-4782147820115592877</id><published>2011-10-12T08:39:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-12T08:41:06.034-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='frugal living'/><title type='text'>Free Magazine Offers!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Mr8QkrnNqEU/TpW05BUnaOI/AAAAAAAAC9A/o51v89npkPM/s1600/freebie.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 132px; height: 175px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Mr8QkrnNqEU/TpW05BUnaOI/AAAAAAAAC9A/o51v89npkPM/s400/freebie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662630998188714210" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Check out these free magazines offer ranging from Caribbean to Good Housekeeping!

One of my favorite tips I've ever received, was using a cotton swab (a.k.a the "q" tip) to clean out those hard to get areas around your stove, dressers or other large items in your home. So get rid of those little dust bunnies residing in those hard to reach places by simply dipping your cue tip into dusting solution or even water, then wipe it all away.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1649367642049645415-9108510885669102351?l=simplewives.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1649367642049645415/posts/default/9108510885669102351'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1649367642049645415/posts/default/9108510885669102351'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplewives.blogspot.com/2011/10/favorite-household-tips.html' title='Favorite Household Tips'/><author><name>Mrs. Pedersen</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-spFdCn-wzio/TdUve-zP_uI/AAAAAAAACuw/qYeYffmZIsw/s220/n511312504_1773626_5823546.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qT4Ppj5pIfA/TpNbQ3kZEDI/AAAAAAAAC8k/1EHHYWNSk20/s72-c/Untitled-1%2Bcopy.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1649367642049645415.post-9107596220147263818</id><published>2011-10-09T14:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-10T14:09:50.816-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='housewife tips'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='organization'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='simple living'/><title type='text'>20 Minutes To An Organized Kitchen</title><content type='html'>I want my kitchen to be organized--it means I have better productivity and less clean up time in the long run. So here are a few ways I've spent 20 minutes organizing my kitchen each day over a course of time, for example spend 20 minutes for 5 days focusing on 1 particular area. You'll love the difference it makes in your kitchen, big or small:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;Spend 20 minutes cleaning out your refrigerator!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Spend 20 minutes organizing your pots and pans!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Spend 20 minutes organizing all the lids and plastic containers!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Spend 20 minutes organizing your pantry!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Spend 20 minutes organizing under your sink!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;As you complete each section, mark it off your list. After all five areas are resolved, look around your kitchen to see what else needs to be tackled. Then you can create your own 5 for 20 minutes lists for the next week.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1649367642049645415-9107596220147263818?l=simplewives.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1649367642049645415/posts/default/9107596220147263818'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1649367642049645415/posts/default/9107596220147263818'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplewives.blogspot.com/2011/10/20-minutes-to-organized-kitchen.html' title='20 Minutes To An Organized Kitchen'/><author><name>Mrs. Pedersen</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-spFdCn-wzio/TdUve-zP_uI/AAAAAAAACuw/qYeYffmZIsw/s220/n511312504_1773626_5823546.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1649367642049645415.post-1033136640231214424</id><published>2011-06-27T14:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-10T13:57:18.701-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='housewife tips'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='simple living'/><title type='text'>Simple Face Scrub</title><content type='html'>My favorite face scrub consists of two ingredients!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1-2 teaspoons baking soda&lt;br /&gt;warm water&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Directions: &lt;/span&gt;Take 1-2 teaspoons of baking soda and add drops of warm water.
