Frugal Household Tips

Tips I use for recycling:

• Recycle paper for notepads and envelopes.

• Reuse address labels simply by cutting out and applying with glue stick to (recycled) envelope.

• Reuse water. I use water left in drinking glasses for my iron and plants. Simply pour water into a recycled container and set aside for later use.

• Cut the thermostat up on air conditioner. I keep in on 78 when I am home and 82 when I am not,

• Condense your trips in your car to save gas. I went from working 6 days a week to working longer hours, 3 days a week. Not only do I save gas, I also have more days for me!

• Plan on eating 2 no-cook meals a week. Saves on electricity.

• Take advantage of the sun. Solar energy is free!

• Avoid takeout. Bring back the long lost art of cooking. It's cheaper and healthier.
