  
I've taken on double duty today! I just don't seem to get time to post every day so I thought this would do.
Since it's Tuesday I'll start with TT first:
My Tightwad Tip is using coffee twice. I'm a HUGE coffee drinker and tend to like "real" coffee as opposed to the canned variety. To offset this cost I reuse the coffee grounds twice. The first time is fresh grounds alone. The second use is adding fresh grounds to the previouse days coffee grounds. The ratio I use is 1/2 to the full amount the previous day. Example: if I made coffee for 8 the previous day I would add enough grounds for 4 to the previous days 8. Clear as mud? I'm also reusing the filter from the previous day saving twice!
My Antiprocrastination Challenge is our basement. We live in a almost 100 year old farm house and our basement isn't pretty. We have huge boulders for our foundation and when it rains hard our foundation "pees" like a little boy in the woods! LOL We affectionally refer to this as my basement has the Mississippi running down the center of it! Even a bigger laugh since we live in Minnesota! teehee Our challenge is to get everything off the floor, into tubs (miceville is also in the basement), and make the space usuable but flexiable to get everything off the floor when the floods come. I'll post a pic tomorrow of the before. It's a hugemungeous YIKES!
Blessings from our Little Farm to you! |

Thanks for sharing your tip for today! I've often wondered if I were going to reuse coffee grounds how I would go about it. Now I know. I may have to try that this week.....
Good luck on your basement project! I know you will have no problem doing it; it only takes even 5 minutes a day. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. My garage is like that, too. We just keep plugging along. I look forward to seeing pre- and post- pictures!!!
Have a great day!
