You know… ziploc or freezer bags or even generic sandwich bags?

Does any self-proclaimed frugal ones actually buy them?

I haven’t bought any of these plastic bags in years. You know why not? Because SO much stuff comes in plastic bags already. Bread (when we are not making homemade), frozen vegetables, apples, onions, and potatoes at the supermarket.

This world is FULL of plastic bags. Not only is reusing them good on the pocketbook, it is good for the environment as well. It is really amazing how saving money and saving the Earth go hand in hand.

Energy costs are skyrocketing, and people are searching for ways to stretch their budgets to cover heating and electricity in these winter months. Besides turning down the thermostat and increasing insulation, reducing the amount of heat or energy you use by closing up unused or uneccessary rooms can save you a lot of money on your monthly bills.

Close Up Unused Rooms – Registers

All registers in an unused room should be closed and covered to reduce energy costs and reduce waste. Be sure to do the same thing to air vents or registers that both push air into the room and take it out. Baseboard heaters can also be turned off and covered, though this is a bit more difficult.
