Scrimping and Saving

Here's some advice from Sunset on trimming the waste from your lifestyle.

Get rid of junk mail: dmachoice.org; catalogchoice.org; for first class mail marked address return reguested, you can write "refuse" on the envelope. You can track the sender dwon via phone or email and thell them to take you off their list.

Websites: besimpler.com; zerowastehome.blogspot.com

Shop twice a year (April and October) at a thrift store to replace items that are discarded.

Wardrobe: 6 pairs of shoes, 7 tops, 7 pants, 2 skirts

Buy in bulk and bring your own jars, fabric bags, and canvas totes; even cheese and meat go in jars

Freeze bread

Clean up with microfiber cloths instead of paper towels
