When it comes to saving money at home, sometimes the best tips are hiding in plain sight.
Many household items that we usually throw away can actually be repurposed and used again—saving both money and the environment. Here are some practical and clever ways to get more out of everyday objects.
🥫 1. Glass jars = Storage solution
Instead of buying containers, clean out old glass jars from sauces or jams.
They’re perfect for storing spices, dry grains, or even small office items like paper clips and rubber bands.
Plus, they look great in open shelving!
🧴 2. Old toothbrush = Cleaning tool
Don’t toss your used toothbrush just yet.
It’s a great cleaning tool for scrubbing narrow spaces—like grout, sink edges, or window frames.
Just sanitize it first and use it for another few months before discarding.
🧦 3. Single socks = Dusting cloths
Lost a sock in the laundry?
Use the remaining one as a mini dusting glove.
It’s perfect for wiping blinds, baseboards, or even cleaning your car dashboard.
📦 4. Delivery boxes = Drawer organizers
Online shopping boxes can be easily cut and repurposed into drawer dividers or organizers.
Instead of buying plastic bins, just trim the boxes to fit and cover them with wrapping paper for a neat look.
💳 5. Used gift cards = Phone stand
Old gift cards or expired membership cards can be folded or shaped into a simple DIY phone stand.
You can find tons of tutorials online, and it works surprisingly well for quick hands-free video calls or watching content.
These ideas don’t just help you reduce waste—they also help you spend less by making the most out of what you already own.
Start small, and you'll be surprised how resourceful you can become!
