Also, I use rags vs apertowels, and cloth napkins vs paper ones, then just wash them. I spent a summer in Spain and was impressed by the thriftiness I saw there and have added some of what I saw into my own lifestyle. I thrift shop a lot, too, since it's fun and economical. And lastly, I am not a beer snob so PBR is my friend

We are about go get back on this kick ourselves. It's not only friendlier for the environment but it cuts wayyyyy down on how much we spend on disposable paper products.
Jack does carry an old-school cloth handkerchief around that I wash and iron every few days. I kinda love that.

On the local news there was talk about whole foods chain opening hear.if they do I definitely will shop there,I hear it is better than most wherehouse chains,this is something to look forwards to.
We use to have a family owned produce store hear plus some on the side of the road stands as well,the main one closed and I haven''t seen any that have what I call good produce,we have a farmers market open in the festaval plaza down town but its closed at the moment.I really have near stopped buying produce at the grocery store cause it is a hit or miss to get quality fruits /veggies so whole foods shurly can do better.

The library saves me money and a few trees too. Aside from actual books, they also have a downloadable e reader and a wide selection of books to download; dvd's; music cd's; newpapers from all over the USA, and a wide selection of magazines.

We can order stuff statewide, so there is a varied, and extensive collection of stuff to choose from.

Plus, they have free admission passes to statewide museums, aquariums, and other cultural events.

Good stuff.
