Tip number 7: Have an errand day
I know I have blogged about having an errand day before. However, it is seriously one of the best time maximizing strategies I use.
So here are some new photos and thoughts on designating an errand day.
First I make a master list of all the places I need to go and what I need to get or take when I am there.
All of this goes in a clear plastic pockety thing I got at an Office supply store.
Included in the clear envelope are all the recipets I need for returns, coupons for the stores and claim tickets.
I clip my coupons with little bull clips by store so I remember to use them all.
Mail goes right up on my dash – I love this trick!
Having an errand day saves on gas, time and sanity! Try it.
So what about you? How do you maximize your errand time?
Great tip, especially the little plastic pockety thing from the office supply store. I’ve been using a ziploc bag. NOT classy! Thanks for all your great tips!
How exciting!! Thanks!
