Using the back of envelopes for lists and notes is one of my favorite ways to get another use out of something destined for the recycle bin. I open my envelopes with a letter opener so the edge is nice and neat, then I use them for my grocery lists when I am going to the store. The envelope is the perfect place to put all my coupons (and those of you who read my blog know how many coupons I can be carrying at any time), plus the envelope is sturdier than a single piece of paper which makes it easier to cross off the items on the list.
While I do embrace many technological advances, I still have a Franklin planner that uses paper (amazing, huh)? I save my daily pages and use the blank side (if I haven't written notes on them already) for making my menu list to post on the fridge, as well as the running grocery list that I keep on the fridge between trips to the store (before I transfer the list and the coupons to the envelope), as well as for general notes that I need to take or leave around the house.
