Hello Dear Reader,
I was asked once if I recycle much, to be honest, I don't. I mainly re-use. My local hardware store is called Modern Grates and they sell everything. Anything that any one might need for their home maintenance is sold there. I refill my Ecover cleaning products there. I take the empty bottles back and they re-fill them. It's much cheaper and it creates very little recycling. I happily reuse the same bottles over and over. They even refill my handwash and shower gel. I changed to chemical free products in my attempt to rid myself of migraines (along with not eating gluten!) so far, and touch wood, I haven't had the health problems I had previously so I'm going to continue being chemical free. A word of warning about Ecover cleaning products is that you only need the tiniest amounts!
I still use sodium bicarbonate to clean stubborn dirt and a mixture of lemon juice and olive oil to clean wood. I still use white vinegar to clean anything that I want to shine.
Yesterday, whilst on the radio I made a remark on thrift. It might seem silly to some people to get cleaning products refilled to save a few pennies here and there. It might seem silly to use bicarb and olive oil for cleaning but it's the little amounts of money saved that means I have more money to do the fun and enjoyable things in life.
Over to you Dear Reader. What little things do you do that saves a few pennies here and there?
As ever, I look forward to hearing from you.
Love Froogs xxxx
