I...Thanks for the hankie tip on using old t-shirts. I will use the scraps from my daughter’s t-shirt quilt.<br /><br />Can’t wait until I am retired and can save at home with deodorant. Right now I need it for work!but I only shower every other day so that is sort of cutting back, right?!<br /><br />We shut the lights off religiously up until June and then I put the AC in the windows and forgot to continue on with the lights. The AC was $30 a month, but the lights were $8 more! Won’t make that mistake any more, and the AC is coming out this week.<br /> <br />We do keep the curtains closed against daytime heat. I don’t like how dark the room is, so I go outside and work in the yard! Our living room lights are by off grid solar so at night we can burn them without incurring electricity costs on the grid. I was surprised at the savings by doing so.<br /><br />I was proud of my husband for consolidating the ketchups and mustards into one bottle each. And especially proud of his adding water to the dish soap bottle to stretch it at the end.<br /><br />A little dab will do ya…the dental hygienist told me it is the scrubbing action more than the toothpaste, that has the most effect.<br />EllenMBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16862195995276660737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-41761009912710122912016-09-25T09:52:11.287-04:002016-09-25T09:52:11.287-04:00You go girl!

I generally use cut up t-shirts (I am not a flannel person).<br />They to are soft, don't scratch, and are dust free.Cheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-29889697101441934682016-09-22T00:58:12.661-04:002016-09-22T00:58:12.661-04:00Great post Cheryl!

I use them for cleaning up messes and also for cleaning my glasses, TV screens and computer screen.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449564619872452771noreply@blogger.com
