3/28 What are some of the silly things you do to save money?
I'll start. I don't water my lawn, it's all dirt. It cuts down
water bills, saves gardener bills, and conserves water. I also
don't flush my toilet unless I poo, or when I have guests over.
What do you do to save money?
\_ I SHOP AT WALMART and support my Conservative kind. I RULE!!!
\_ I use yermom as my ho of choice. Much cheaper.
\_ Don't you have to spend money on gas or electricity to weed-whack
the dirt all spring?
\_ You sound like a moron.
\_ Utilities: All CFL bulbs where reasonable, CF torch instead of
halogen, programmable thermostat set sensibly, shower less than
once-a-day when not needed, double-paned windows, set blinds
appropriate to season.
\_ Instead of wasting excess resources, I made one trip to the hardware
store where I got a crowbar and a fair sized axe and went to work
on my neighbor's place so I always have material for my fireplace.
\_ This sounds like Chateau.
\_ I set a tech toys budget and stick to it. Less chance of
of 'accidentally' buying an expensive new gadget.
\_ "If it's yellow, leave it mellow, if it's brown, flush it down."
but that's vestigal from growing up during a drought.
\_ No car, no cable tv. Maybe that is not silly enough.
\_ I piped my neighbor's heating duct into my house. He is in the
other half of my duplex so it was easy. I also use his wife, which
saves maintenance costs.
\_ You need to do a budget analysis. Where are you spending
most of your money? Then cut it down accordingly by going
where you will get the "most bang for your buck". Unless
your water bill is high, not flushing the toilet probably
won't make as big of a difference than say eat out less.
The $10 I save not eating out today equals to a lot of your
silly flushes! |
