Use it up, wear it out!

Anybody else putting some real effort into using it up and wearing it out and generally making do with what you already have?

I'm doing a super job of not wasting food. It helps that I cleaned my fridge so I can see what is in there, LOL. Lunch today was some slightly outdated pork and beans that I found when I cleaned my pantry last week (and I've lived to tell the tale). I've got a few other things that need eating, too, that are a priority.

I am currently wearing size 12, but hoping to be in a smaller size soon. I am getting by with what I have, which isn't much. I bought two tops on clearance for under $11 for BOTH in January, and nothing else since. I may hit the thrift stores for Easter...but then, again, I may not bother. Since I'm actually hoping to get to an 8, I probably will buy some 10s--but at thrift stores, and not many. I wash a lot, LOL.

I increased my rag collection when I cut up an old, stretched-out top that is now too big.
