One of the hardest adjustments for us in striving for a greener and more frugal life is saving A/C use in the summer as a last ditch effort on the hottest days and making do as much as possible …. this past summer we were finally able to cut down enough to see a drastic improvement in our summertime electricity bill and it was so worth it

Great list. One way we found to further cut costs was to not use the dishwasher at all. Washing by hand used much less water and less energy. I also felt it was easier than having to put all the dishes in and out of the washer. .-= solar panels for sale´s last blog ..Solar Space Heater: Using Solar Power To Heat Your House in the Winter =-.

Thank you so much for doing these posts.
As one who never really paid attention to being frugal or green, I am finding I really need to be frugal, at least.
With a $300 a paycheck less and retirement years fast approaching I need to learn to save money, time, etc.

I'm thrilled to have found this posting, because you've just summed up my blog The Lean Green Family (formerly Suddenly Frugal). It's all about green and frugal living. I've covered topics ranging from how to reuse water from the dehumidifier to which saves more money--washing dishes by hand versus running the dishwasher. I do write about more than just H20. Recently, I covered how you can donate clothes that are rag worthy, not wearable, to good causes, thus giving them a good second (or third) life and keeping them out of the waste stream. I hope you'll stop by and check it out. Leah Leah Ingram's last blog post...A User's Guide to Plastic - The Boston Globe

Great list! I’m going to start using cloth napkins…we go through an insane amount of paper napkins every week. The different napkin rings are a great idea!

Love all you tips and the comment tips.
Here’s mine:
I use recylced, food glass jars to store leftovers in. I like the tall jars with twist lids. The jars don’t take up much “floor” space and they are clear. Some can be put in the microwave.
