4. Freeze Food You Wouldn’t Normally Think To Freeze

We’d all freeze that extra loaf of bread or microwave meal that we didn’t get ‘round to tucking into, but you can actually freeze a lot more foods than you might think.

Not only would this stop food waste, but it will also save those precious pennies by using up food you’ve already bought.

Here are a list of different items safe to freeze, and the methods to do it

  • Milk (in a carton)
  • Cheese (but only grated)
  • Bananas (in any form)
  • Eggs (crack each egg into a muffin tin)
  • Grapes (you can even use them as ice cubes once frozen, and they are great for making smoothies)
  • Baked goods (all cookies, cakes and muffins can go straight in)

5. Sell Your Toilet Paper Cardboard

Sell Toilet Paper Rolls

And you thought just toilet paper was valuable, didn’t you?

Those cardboard rolls in the middle of your toilet paper might actually be worth a bit of cash!

This is because they can be used for arts and crafts, and you are able to sell them on places like eBay and Facebook Marketplace.

It might not make you rich, but it’ll mean you get a bit of money back on your toilet paper purchases.

The going rate is around $5 per 50 empty rolls, so it could be a cool little side hustle.

If you’re crafty, you could use them with your kids too instead of buying new ones.
