| Well, maybe will reuse the TP from some liquid bathroom trips. But that is bout it. I reuse Kleenex twice, floss 2 or 3 times and can reuse mouth wash once or twice if desperate. (Rinse mouth with water first to get the loose stuff our or brush teeth first.) Paper towels all get reused if not oily or too dirty. Tons of money get wasted on paper products I used to grab 2 or 3 Kleenex at a time without even thinking bout it. Started to use old style handkerchiefs as I did when I was a kid to save on paper. Military showers save on water too. Especially important in the summer during growing season as it eats up water. http://usalandlord.stores.yahoo.net/shonsw.html Some other thing's I extend. Soy sauce - 50% or more dilution with water. Tastes OK but started to do it to reduce the astronomical salt content. Pancakes - WW pancake mix is very high priced. I dilute Aunt Jemima with 40% WW flour and a little corn meal and rye flour. The leavening in the Aunt Jemima is enough as is to work with the plain flour. Again started to do it for sodium cut back, but great to add whole grains to it as well. I use an egg and part milk in the batter. Or can use just water, but like egg better. do not use oil, but probably would be better with oil. Maple syrup - use 10% water in it Grape juice - add 40% water for a lighter drink with less calories. OJ - fresh squeezed I add 15% to 20% water and a table spoon of sugar if the oranges are tart Hand dish liquid soap -- I dilute 50% with water and it is still thick. I use it on sponges more than in sinks, so have not tested it except for sponge washing use. An interesting site... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCPEBM5ol0Q |
