WORKADAY TIP #151: Cut Ends Off Tubes

With a tough economy, I am particularly concerned about not wasting anything.   This is a simple, yet effective way to make sure you use up that last bit of toothpaste, conditioner or lotion.

When you can no longer get any more out of a tube, cut the other side off.  You'll be amazed at how many more uses you can get.   

You'll save money, eliminate waste and reduce the number of trips to the store!

WORKADAY TIP #151: 100 Calorie Packs

So first my apologies for not posting recently, I just started a new job which means I've had to adjust my schedules a bit.  The good news is that with the new job has come new inspiration for my Workaday Superstar blog! 

I now have a bit of a commute so I've had to learn how to plan for an hour in the car to and from work.  Here is the first in a series of tips for how to live through and leverage your time in the car.

Before I started my job I made a trip to Costco and stocked up on some healthy snacks.  I picked up breakfast bars, cherrios, turkey jerky, popcorn and almonds.  I then proceeded to put them in my own 100 calorie ziplock packs.  I've got them stashed in my car, in my file cabinet at work and in my kitchen drawer.  Now, when ever I need a snack, I can make a healthy choice.  The added benefits?  I am saving money by buying in bulk, saving the earth my packing my own 100 calorie packs and saving time my not needing make a pit stop to pick up a munchie. 

Hooray for efficiency!
