I love how it shows we all think differently and need to organize based on how we “view” our supplies. ie. one persona will see a paper as blue, another as poka dot, another as a winter theme inspiration.

After the dinner [...]

I don’t suggest you buy scissors at a dollar store but you should be shopping there for 50% saving on many basics (pens, paper, paper towels, gift wrap, cleaning supplies, baby items, shampoo, etc).
Dollar stores get some inventory from product lines created just for discount stores. The other inventory are remnants from wholesalers, keeping prices super low.

Butter beans (also known as large Fordhook Lima beans) make a wonderful rich creamy soup. Lima beans are an inexpensive and full of protein and fiber add a delicious taste to soups, casseroles, and salads.
This versatile recipe can be made with or without the carrots, celery, artichoke or turkey– on the stove or in the crock pot. Super for a cold day, the cooking smell is wonderful.
