Some initial cost, but cheaper in the long run, and definitely easier. 6 Ways to Reuse Cereal Box Liners - Blog Entry11 Aug 2008 07:11 PM Slightly off topic, but that reminds me of saving the butter wrapper to butter your pans with! The Frugal Washing Machine - Blog Entry11 Aug 2008 07:04 PM I don't think I've ever used the "recommended amount" of detergent! Of course they want you to use too much so that you have to buy more, lol! I read an article recently (can't remember where, sorry) that said Tide didn't do any better at washing pretreated clothes than plain water...I can't use very cheap detergent because DH gets a rash, but I switch between several brands, depending on what's on sale and has coupons. I can't say that I pretreat much, either. I usually give those coupons away. I just never have a problem with staining, even though I only wash in cold water. Minimizing Your Wash Will Maximize Your Savings 3 - Blog Entry11 Aug 2008 06:52 PM We always use bath towels for a week, but washcloths get washed more frequently, mostly because DH wads them up instead of hanging hem, so they get musty. Hand towels probably hang a good two weeks before I take them down, lol. We rewear pjs. We don't rewear other things for the most part because we live in a very hot, humid area, so clothes get yucky quickly. DH would rewear more if I let him, but he throws them on the dresser or floor rather than hanging them, so I pick them up and put them in the laundry. In the future, I think I will pick up his clothes that he wants to rewear and hang them on the clothes line with the laundry so that they can air out. At least that way it seems like I washed them, lol! |
