One of the key aspects to living a more frugal lifestyle is finding ways to save money by reusing the stuff you may otherwise just throw in the trash.
Learning some of these frugal ways for saving money is also one of the best ways to help save the environment too!
MAKE YOUR OWN COOKING SPRAY
Create your own cooking spray using a refillable pump-spray bottle containing your preferred cooking oil.
BUY REFURBISHED INK
Instead of buying new printer ink, reduce your waste and buy refurbished or remanufactured cartridges.
SWAP PLASTIC BAGS FOR REUSABLE
There are several companies trying to combat this waste by offering reusable snack sacks and sandwich sacks. In addition to keeping our waterways clean, these bags are dishwasher safe and can be used again and again.
REPURPOSE GREETING CARDS
In addition to sending e-vites and other digital well-wishes, you can reuse the paper greeting cards you receive during the year. Simply remove the personal message and retain the decorative part to be used as a postcard greeting.
USE NATURAL CLEANERS TO CLEAN TOILETS
Pour a cup of vinegar into the toilet bowl and let sit for one hour. Dip the toilet brush into the bowl, sprinkle with one-half cup baking soda and scrub until clean.
