If you have a well made cook book that is no longer practical for your lifestyle, don't throw it away, use it for a scrap book for recipes, your favorite tips for living cheaper (those you like clipping from the paper). Tape the articles to the pages or use recipe cards that you have written down your favorite recipes, tips, etc. Use the tabs to label your sections.
