May I propose a topic that will help us all? Perhaps a new group?

Like many of you, things are very tight here for many reasons. I must find ways to economize that will help get through this economic mess we are in (including fuel costs this winter). Perhaps short postings with suggestions that we could print and keep handy. I'll start.

Forget paper towels or limit the use. Wipe windows with newspaper or ammonia & water and old rags.

Hang a hand towel somewhere near the kitchen sink. Free and washable when needed, no wasted paper.

One ply/1000 TP sheets. Frequently on sale at CVS or somewhere stock up. Not quite so soft as two-ply but toughen up, it won't heart, trust me, and much cheaper.

Hang the heavier clothes on the line and let the sun do the job, dryers cost a lot to run.
Use a clothes rack too.

Turn off the water when you brush your teeth. A few gallons will just go down the drain if you let it run while you brush away.

Please add your own, we all need the suggestions!

Thanks for your ideas, there must be hundreds out there.
