I darn sox...very relaxing activity...VERY LITTLE paper towel use...very little prepared foods...bar soap..powdered milk for cooking/baking...reuse plastic baggies/zip locks (better for the environment too)...little bits of left overs go into soup pot or similar...make my crouton out of older bread..cook oatmeal for breakfast instead of packaged cereal or instant oatmeal (good for cholesterol LOL)..buy in bulk WHEN IT PAYS TO DO SO) etc. etc. etc. I am a frugalista!!
