Stop wasting money on disposable items
By admin at 26 June, 2009, 9:54 am
With this economic environment, there are two things to consider: save money and be green. When you look at disposable items you buy every week, there is a lot of money to save!
Packages. Plastic wrap. Plastic bags.
When you throw that in the trash, you lose some money…
Having said that, the less you throw away, the more you save money…
Let me give you some examples…
1/ Swiffer
Swiffer is such a waste of time and money. Instead, Pick up a PVA mop ($15) and just use it with a mix of a half gallon of hot water to one half cup of white vinegar. You will clean your place easily and save so much money!!!
Don’t forget that swiffer pads are really expensive: like 36 for $30. That’s not for us…
2/ Paper towels
What’s the point of using paper towel? Use cloths instead and you will just need to wash it from time to time and you will not see the difference!
3/ AA batteries
Use recharchable batteries. If you follow the guidelines, you will save a lot of money and you will save the environment (2 for the price of 1)!
4/ Kleenexes
Well I actually prefer my tissues from my grandpa. They look old but again you save money and you protect the environment…. What else?
Bottom line? You can save money and protect the environment at the same time… What else can you do? Just enjoy the money you have just saved and feel excited that you have saved the environment a little bit!
