Frugal and Energy Efficient Living

You can slip them on your hand and they are good to go----they even will dust knickknacks just by picking the item up and rubbing your hands on it. I use clothes that are too bad to wear anymore for dirty jobs so I don't have to worry about ruining good clothes. Also wear old sweats or t-shirts for pajamas. Then I use them for rags.

And the clothes that don't fit anymore go to thrift stores.

Newspapers go in the garden. Books go to the library for their used book sales. Magazines are left in waiting rooms at the hospital (ever since I had to spend way too much time there and realized that the magazines were so old and worn out).

Branches that fall from the trees are used in the fire pit. Garden trash and kitchen waste is composed. Grocery plastic bags are used for trash bags. Aluminum foil can be cleaned and reused. Ziploc bags can be washed and reused for a long time.

You are right----it becomes a challenge to find ways to keep using and using and using.
