Frugal Friday

Cut down on the water bill by using less water.

1. Install low-flow shower heads. You can also adjust the flow yourself.

2. Take more showers and fewer baths.

3. If you are boiling water (for eggs,etc.) save the water and use for your plants.

4. Don't leave the water running while brushing your teeth, shaving, washing dishes, washing hands, etc.

5. Mulch your beds outside so that they retain moisture and will require less water.


Ever heard of placing a brick in your toilet to save on water? Well, they now say to fill a water bottle with a little sand or pebbles and then the rest of the way with water. It's to help you not use so much water when flushing!

Great tips! We are going to start a garden this year and will remember the mulch suggestion.

Kirstie H. was actually Amanda Padgett. LOL! I was signed in as my sister to see her co-op's writing blog. Sorry for the confusion.
