Do It On A Dime

Come to Dollar Tree with me (tons of new products!)

by Filed Under: Dollar Tree, Money Saving, Organization

Where’s your latest come to Dollar Tree with me video, Kathryn?!  It’s been FOREVER since you made a shopping vlog.  Well… it’s right here!  Come with me to Dollar Tree!  Tons of new products and as always everything is always just $1.

It was a super rainy day so I decided to take advantage of not being able to go outside and having an hour of free time to shop.  This is a store walkthrough video so I’ll show you some of my favorite NEW FINDS for home organization, beauty, DIY, books, floral, and more.  You don’t want to miss this one.  Plus I’m super clumsy and almost broke something… no one is surprised.  HA ?

BEST way to freeze food and organize your deep freezer!

by Filed Under: Money Saving, Organization

Hey, guys!  It’s the first episode of #knowinwithowen ?  We show you easy quick tips that save you time and/or money, and just make life better on a budget.  In this episode we tackle how to freeze meat and other veggies.  Vacuum sealers are expensive, and freezer burn is the worst, so here’s how to store your sale meat/produce in bulk in your freezer and keep it awesome over the long haul.  I’ll also show you some incredibly simple tricks for keeping your deep freezer or inside freezer organized.  Anyone can do it and best of all it’s FREE!  Hope it helps you!  We’ve found this method works best with solid meats (chicken breasts, pork chops, steaks, etc. rather than finely minced meats or chopped meats that have a lot of air space).  Good luck!  Here’s my deep freezer!

Dollar Store Car Organization!

by Filed Under: DIY Projects, Dollar Tree, Money Saving, Organization

I’ve shared car organization videos every year for the past three years, but this is my first year sharing a car video with our beloved minivan which we recently got. We haven’t got to insuring it yet, but a friend of ours told us to go to somewhere like One Sure Insurance for it. Not only this, but as my kids continue growing, I’ve learned that less is more and my car stays clutter free. It’s not perfect (but it’s organized). In this video I share with you my best car organization tips for a family, but these tricks and hacks would work in any car. I shared a segment on Charlotte Today this week and it prompted me to make this video, and I hope it inspires you to try some of these simple solutions in your car! You can find the free printable here!

Complete Master Bedroom Makeover & Tour!

by Filed Under: Decor & Furniture, Dollar Tree, Money Saving, Organization

Nikki from AtHomeWithNikki was in town visiting and we had a girls’ day shopping. It was such fun spending time with her and doing some shopping to help me find some trendy bedroom furniture to redecorate and makeover my master bedroom! It was a really long day to be honest. I don’t know how I would cope if I had to redecorate my whole house. I would probably spending ages reading reviews of products like this delonghi ecp3420 review before I could even make a decision. It would be fun to redo my whole house if I could, but unfortunately I just don’t have the time to do it. If I had the time and money, then I would have great fun I’m sure. Doesn’t really matter though as I’m only interested in redoing my master bedroom. If I had the whole house then that would take ages. But luckily I’m just redoing my master bedroom for the time being. Even for just one room, we spent ages deciding what we wanted and if we thought it would work well together. We bought loads of items though, even a new memory foam mattress! In this video I share my 4 simple tips for creating a master bedroom space you will love– everything is simple and budget friendly! I hope you enjoy this collab– it was so fun to shoot and edit. Nikki is such a dear friend of mine. You can see her video here!
