Reuse and Stock up - Easter 2010
Many stores right now are trying to get rid of their Easter products, so I'm going to head over to CVS and Target and see what I can get for next year! Don't forget:- Chocolates can be frozen and used in cookies, cakes, breads, etc. I actually don't have a need to buy chocolate chips because I always have chocolate frozen from Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day and Easter.
- Baskets can be reused for basket gifts, holding nick-nacs, organizing, etc.
- Plastic Easter eggs can be saved for next year, recycled, refilled with candy or treats and used as party favors for your 2 year olds birthday. I've heard of some people carrying their iPod headphones in a plastic egg - toss them in your gym bag for safe keeping.
- Peeps can be used in Smore's, rice crispy treats, fondue.
Check out Peeps Research for more tips!
- Look for great recipes to use up eggs, chocolate or peeps, here are a few I found:

Thanks for the tips. I never thought of using holiday candy this way.
I love stocking up on after holiday sales. I try and freeze it but the little piggies that I live with eat it before I can bake with. But it is still better than paying full price.
Great blog!
I just discovered your blog, and am very excited to get help being frugal. I new about making smores, but laughed so hard when I followed your link and saw the peeps on the grill. :)
Lol, yes Peeps on the grill, who knew??? I'm glad you've found me, welcome! I hope you find some wonderful inspirations!
Please email or leave me comments on any great frugal finds!!! I love them dearly!
