I happened upon some old canning Mason jars at a garage sale, and now we use those for everything–making iced tea in the summer, putting leftover soup in, holding our homemade laundry detergent. Not only do we save money this way, but we help the environment by having a slower turnover with our electronics.

Sharing power tools and other electronic devices will cut down on the production of these difficult to dispose of items. Buying automobiles, electronics, furniture, and home appliances second hand is easier than ever with the rise of online auction sites. You no longer have to go to garage sales and flea markets to pick up these items.

I had huge medical bills for the spouse, was only working PRN, and needed new ideas on cutting corners. Those skills/needs became vital in my marriage as the spouse was chronically ill with astronomical medical bills & expensive tastes. There’s always been garage sales/flea markets, library, state parks, fishing.
