Money Savers

There are a few things I have implemented

over the past few months to

help us save some

money.

One is recycling more.

What?

How is that going to save money you ask?

The way I see it we will have to

buy less garbage bags

because

we will be throwing more things into

the recycle container.

We are required to pay for recycling anyways.

I mean, I have always recycled, but we

are making a more conscious effort to do more now.

So far it is working.

Mid week we typically have to take the trash out. We have

been able to put it off a bit longer, like maybe to the weekend.

The second thing I have implemented is insulating

our water heater and pipes.

The plumbing is exposed in the basement so this

was easy to achieve.

I have noticed that the amount of time it takes for our

water to heat up has been reduced substantially.

Lastly, I have been keeping our heat

set at 69 degrees.

Yes, I admit there are some days I let it

go to 71. Overall though I

do manage to keep it at a cooler

tempature.

Really it hasn't been that bad keeping it cool.

There are times were it does tend to feel a bit

cooler than other times, but it

isn't that bad.

Not only are these money savers,

but they are also green.
