One of the best ways I know to save money is to do things yourself. Cook your own meals. Repair and mend your own clothes. Grow your own vegetables.
But replace your own faucet? Install your own water filter? Patch a hole in your drywall? Well those things have always seemed just a bit too complicated. That’s why Walmart came up with the new “Projects Made Simple” section of their website!
They have a selection of common projects~and for each one there is a step by step video, a project sheet to print out and a listing of the necessary items you can pick up at Walmart to complete your project.
I got the opportunity as one of the Walmart Moms to try out a project-I decided to replace my downstairs bathroom faucet. It leaks a bit and the plunger thingy you pull up to stop up the drain has been broken for months.
I headed off to Walmart and picked up my items:
Then I did it-I replaced my own faucet! Check out the process:
So what do you think? Are you more likely to try a project like this now?

I do 99% of my own repairs. The only ones I won’t do are ones on my roof. I send my husband up for that.
I don’t know that I would visit Walmart for tips on how to fix something. I have a good collection of websites for that information already. But it is nice to know that it’s there if I need it.
Sounds like you are a more advanced DIY’er! I think the “projects made simple” are great for helping demystify things for the. Newbies!
