I bake bread and grind up the ends for breadcrumbs. We use cloth napkins, and use ripped up T-shirts for cleaning rags. We also use vinegar for most cleaning jobs - it works better than expensive window cleaner and gets the tub and tile sparkly clean with little effort. I read books online from all the free sites - these are usually older books but I never had the time to read them when they were new. No cable tv, nothing on there that I can truthfully say I miss, and, since I retired, we sold our second car and actually enjoy doing errands together!
