I think some of our readers may have mentioned these: fluorescent light bulbs, wash only full loads, (only need to 2 loads per every 10 days), watch movies on Netflix, (verses going to a theater), eating at home is always cheaper, have energy efficeint A/C unit, energy efficient water heater/washer/dryer (they are maytag bravo), I saved along time for them, and clumping all my errands together. I strickly shop at thrift stores/yard sales for everything, except shoes. Once every 2 yrs, I will buy a new pair of pants; other than that all of the clothes I wear have re-cycled. I use the used coffee ground to help with plants and flowers. I almost always pull from my stash, plus ladies from our Quilt Guild will swap leftover fabric.

Hope I haven't overdone it, but these are just some of the websites that I have searched and kept in my bookmarks because they are filled with useful information. Hope this helps someone.

Grocery shop every other week to save gas (store is 50 mi round trip) and do all errands while in town. Homecooking 99% of the time, lots of pasta and rice dishes, make my own bread and pizza dough, turn off all unnecessary lights and rarely go to LQS anymore except on my birthday (my annual bday present from DH).
