Brinderaded Chicken This is a super simple recipe for a quick brine/marinade to use with chicken. Polly’s got some tweaks to share for this one; she uses 2x the garlic, oven-bakes the chicken, and serves it with pasta and red sauce or alfredo. I’ve also sometimes used spicy sausage or added some jarred spicy peppers.

Most of us who are 40 and younger grew up with disposable paper items. If you’d like to take an easy step to go green and save money in the process, the first place to make changes is in buying disposable items. While I grew up using paper napkins and towels, we only used paper plates when we were on a picnic.

I remember the old S&H Green Stamp days when folks would paste their little green stamps (which they go from buying stuff) in a book which could then be redeemed for more merchandise available from the catalog. We prefer not to use credit. It’s a pain to use the points. It’s probably working! Here is why.

In a separate pan, sauteed a sliced green pepper, added some chopped kale, and threw in the last half of a tomato I had (chopped first). For being so random, this was pretty tasty, and I felt happy about using up some veggies plus the random bag of couscous. Anyway, I got Domino’s for us afterward. Let’s see.

Are you a savvy woman intent on greening your life? But have you considered greening your feminine hygiene items? That means for centuries, women have been using reusable cloth pads. In times long ago, there are reports that some women used grass internal to collect the blood (talk about an ick factor!) Ugghh, right?

Sunday Zoe had a night off of work, so the three of us went out for pizza and then went to Target, where we did some clothes shopping. So we just bought everything we were going to try on, then went home and had a big try-on session at my house, which honestly was probably more fun than using the Target fitting rooms. Zoe was at work.

My gym requires you to wipe down machines after each use, which is great for hygeine and horrible for the environment. There are plenty of things that can be done that are both frugal and eco friendly that have nothing to do with belonging to a fitness center. I’ve broken them down per season.

Use Rags – You can either buy a cheap pack of rags and reuse them or you can cut up old towels and t-shirts rather than throwing them away. If you use rags to clean instead of paper towels, you will save a lot of money. Use Sponges – Using sponges is another great way to reduce the amount of paper towels that you use.

If you want to save money, one of the best options is to buy used. Not only can buying something second-hand help you save money, but it also reduces the amount of resources that you use. Buying used is one way to increase the sustainability of your life. There are many consumer electronics items that you can purchase used.

Amy Dacyczyn, author of the 1990s wildly popular The Tightwad Gazette , once remarked that frugal living is often synonymous with green living. If you’re frugal, you’ll likely take steps to save money such as not using disposable products like paper napkins and paper towels. Of course, this makes sense.
