Thrifty Thursday

Save a dollar, travel more…
Why use more when less will do?

Here are a few tips on using fewer resources to save money.

Cut your dryer sheets in half. I’ve been doing this for a while and have never noticed a difference.

Use less soap. I use half or the recommended laundry soap or add some water to bottle. I’ve never noticed my clothes less clean.

Refill please. Everyone likes the convenience of bottled water, but why do you need a new bottle every time? I have a filtered water pitcher in my refrigerator to refill my bottle when it is empty.

Recycle. You probably pay a tax on bottles and cans when you buy them, so get your money back when you are done. I typically make $80 a year in recycling plastic bottles, glass and cans.

Buy a shower caddy. It’s a plastic dispenser that you push the button for a small amount of shampoo, conditioner or shower gel. I use a lot less when I’m not just squirting a huge glob in my hand.
