We raise are own Chickens and when I cook one I divide the meat up for more than one meals a day.
ReplyDeleteI buy the big jugs of cranberry and other juices. When empty, I use them to make tea for school/social events. I rewash them and use them over and over until they can not be used anymore, then I recycle them.
ReplyDeleteI reuse plastic spoon/forks for my kids lunches. Also I refill water bottles for sports activities etc
ReplyDeleteI try to buy in bulk. I save money and gas because I don't have to go to the store as much!
ReplyDeleteI am resourceful by "up-cycling" my daughter's clothes to last for more than one season. Last year's pants that are too short become this year's capris. Last years dresses that are not too short I add fabric to the bottom and re-create it to be suitable for this year :).
ReplyDeleteWe make our own laundry and dish soap. It ends up costing us $12 for 20 gallons of laundry soap. I haven't seen a coupon or sale that can beat that! lol
ReplyDeletei use old school papers to print my coupons
ReplyDeleteI save and re-use gift bags from gifts we recieve. Its seems silly to throw away a perfectly good bag. We havet bought a gift bag in years!
ReplyDeletei buy a 24 pack of bottle water once every 3 months -when the bottle empties i rip the paper off wash n reuse with tap water they make great bottle waters for kids-you can freeze them for ice packs for coolers when they melt you drink---and it saves me from buying bottle water ever 2-3 days :)
ReplyDeleteWhen milk, juice or any jugs are empty we recycle them as well as are newspaper. I also buy bottled water and when empty refill and reuse.
ReplyDeleteWe like to refill water bottles. Reuse gift bags. Our recyling bin is never empty. my girls use old homework for drawing paper. im sure i could go on forever
ReplyDeleteOur family saves on water by. Gallons of water is wasted while we wait for it to heat up so we save that water in jugs( that we recycled) and use the water for plants.
ReplyDeletewe refill water bottles
ReplyDeleteWhen I take my children out for walks, we always bring a bag to pick up trash. Once we are home we place the trash in the approriate containers(recycling or garbage.
ReplyDeleteI collect rain water to water my plants and bushes. And I recycle and repurpose alot of things.
ReplyDeleteI always reuse gift bags and tissue paper that we get presents in! We recycle everything, and I never buy bottled water! Instead of bottled water we each have a water bottle that we fill with out own filtered water at home. Saves a lot of money and plastic!!
ReplyDeleteI try and recycle empty items and use them for fun arts and crafts with my 4 year old daughter.
ReplyDeleteBesides recycling EVERYTHING, in the summer time, my kids and I go for walks or bike rides and pick up aluminum cans to recycle. We also save all of our toilet paper and paper towel rolls to use for toys or crafts. I also keep jars and plastic containers to store leftovers or to use for crafts or organizing. We always save water bottles and use them to keep water in the fridge so it is readily available to us all at anytime. By doing this, we drink more water because it is already cold. I also keep tissue paper and bags from other presents. My kids also keep all paper with a blank side for coloring. Helps save our notebooks for more important matters.
ReplyDeleteI have 2 boxes in my kitchen where I recycle plastic and aluminum. I save the tabs from the soda cans because the Boys and Girls Club that my daughter attends afterschool recently did a contest to see which grade could bring in the most tabs for our local Ronald McDonald House and the grade that bought in the most won a party.
ReplyDeleteWe recycle just about everything we can. I also buy from thrift stores, second hand stores and local fruit stands. When my daughter out grows clothing because of height, I cut them and reissuse them as shirts or rags or clothing for her dolls.
ReplyDeleteI keep my used copy paper and print on the back for my coupons!
ReplyDeleteI carpool with my husband to work everyday!
ReplyDeleteI reinvent leftovers for delicious meals.
ReplyDeleteI turn the water off while washing my hands with soap. I am also teaching that to our two year old...to save water while lathering. I also use cloth diapers on both of our boys...one is 3 and the other is 8 months...saving the world one diaper at a time! Lynn alilfrog@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteAs a resourceful family i can and freeze all of our own homegrown or hand picked fruits and veggies to reduce packaging waste. I also butcher and freeze large quantities of meat. Reduce reuse recycle!
ReplyDeleteOne day I picked up the ice cube that fell on the floor from the fridge dispenser & put it in a plant, instead of the sink. Now all my kids do the same thing!
ReplyDeleteI do most of what previous comments said- growing up in another country where recycling, reusing, repurposing, conserving, growing your own, making childrens clothes out of my old, knitting, sewing, etc. were part of survival not because it was fashionably popular- made me who I am today. I also use mostly baking soda and vinegar to clean my house - saves lots of $$ and eco-friendly; use herbs as an alternative to store bought medicine
ReplyDeleteTo save on our energy bill, everything is unplugged from our outlets and only plugged in when we use the appliance, lamp, etc.. then unplugged after using it. This saves on our energy bill.

I like to make a large dinner so we can have lunch the next day and reinvent a meal for dinner, saves on cooking time and makes for easy meals a few times a week
