Simple Tips For Frugal Living

Here are a few mini-tips, which you all may already practice:

• After pouring the last cup of coffee, I put in a little water, top off my cup with that coffee water, then finish rinsing the pot.

• If we eat a sandwich and don't dirty up a plate, it's placed in the refrigerator and re-used at the next meal.
• We don't have city water and must use a cistern, so we do stop-and-go showers, turning on and off as needed.
• We have some lamps and radios we leave unplugged until we need one on. We also unplug the phone charger every morning for the day.
• The final tip is to turn off the computer screen when away from the desk for a few minutes, but especially when turning off the computer for the night. I read somewhere that doing that could save $40-$50 annually.
