1. Make turkey broth with your leftover turkey carcass
2. Save the celery tops and celery leaves from your stuffing to use in your turkey broth
3. Save the skins you peeled from your onions to use in your turkey broth (they add the color)
4. Take all other vegetable scraps and add to your compost bin (or start one!)
5. Freeze any leftover wine in ice cube trays to have on hand to add to soups and sauces (measure your ice cube tray so you’ll have an idea of the volume for later)
6. Freeze any uneaten vegetables to add to soup (you can make it with your broth)
7. Make potato pancakes with leftover mashed potatoes
8. Use leftover cranberry sauce on turkey sandwiches (trust me on this, it’s fabulous)
9. Save the crusts from sandwich bread over the year in the freezer and dice up to use to make stuffing (a bit late for this tip!)
10. Chop and freeze any turkey meat that you won’t use in the next few days. Portion into 2-cup quantities and vacuum seal or use zippable sandwich bags (suck the air out with a straw). Most casserole dishes (turkey a la king, turkey enchiladas, etc.) call for 2 cups cooked chicken or turkey. Be sure to mark them, a Sharpie® marker works great.

Whether you call them yard sales, garage sales, tag sales or rummage sales, it all means the same thing — buying second-hand goods at a deep discount.

I love garage sales! To make my garage saling (can somebody please tell me the right way to write that!?) easier, I started looking into mapping them online early last spring. Well, one thing led to another and I ended up creating GarageSaleFinder, a website that maps all the yard sales in my area and gives me a nifty list to go with it. I even figured out how download the info into my GPS unit.

Once I realized how popular this idea was I knew I was going to have to get help so I could take it national. I did just that and the new and improved GarageSaleFinder site started working nationally as of April 15th.

It’s easy to use and FREE. What a deal! Not only can you print garage sale maps, with turn-by-turn directions (compliments of Google), but you can list your own garage sale for free as well.

If you need great directions and maps to garage sales, or if you want to advertise your garage sale for free, visit GarageSaleFinder today.

There is still time to take advantage of the many great deals at Farm Fresh since they’re doubling up to $1 the whole sale week (through Tuesday).

Can anyone say, “Free peanut butter?”
