A few weeks ago when I first declared that Hubs and I were going to attempt a spending freeze for the month of February, my dear friend Erika teased me that she couldn't wait for my riveting post on day 3 "still nothing". Well my dear, this is for you... it's day 3, and today we spent nothing. We stayed home, listed items to sell on ebay, job searched and sewed.I have noticed something though, I have become more aware of things we waste. It's little things like the heels of a loaf of bread. I used to always throw them out, because I don't like them. Today I used one on my son's sandwich, and he didn't even notice. Yesterday it was laundry soap, normally, I pour it into my pretty glass pitcher and toss the bottle. This time, after I poured it into the pitcher, I left it upside down (lid on of course), and when I came back to flip the laundry, there was enough soap in the lid for another load. Sure it is just 2 more pieces of bread, and 1 more load of laundry, but it adds up.
I would really love to hear about other common wastes, that if penny pinching, would start to add up?
