Wowzers

Yep, wowzers. I was just thinking this morning about all the stuff we do out of habit to keep costs down and save money. Here's what I came up with off the top of my head:

- Try to use ALL the food we have before we buy more. Which at times means getting creative.
- Using coupons & Weekly Specials for grocery shopping
- Running as many errands as possible at once and using places that are on the way to save gas.
- "If it's yellow let it mellow...."
- Taking quick, luke warm showers
- Only using half the recommended amount of dishwasher soap and laundry detergent (soon I will be making our own)
- Wearing clothes twice unless dirty
- Watering down juice (Shane gets sooo mad at me when I don't do this)
- Breastfeeding & cloth diapers
- Keeping the a/c warmer than we'd like
- Turning lights off when not in use
- Re-using ziploc bags

Right now that's all I can think of. What do you do to save money??
