Well, it's morning here so I'll have to address yesterday
1) I didn't go out. Stayed home...didn't use petrol or spend money at shops
2) I sewed missing buttons onto Hubby's shirts (save buying new ones)
3) I mended a blouse instead of replacing it
4) I made a chicken stew: heated the house and cooked food with the same energy
5) I kept the lights off in rooms I was not using -
I reused my plastic spoons
I reused my plastic zip lock bags
I opted to eat whatever crap was in the house as opposed to eating out-
Heh, I was going to post those very things! I have a set of zipper baggies that I've been ferrying to and from work for months, now, and I reuse them until they get holes in them or I break the "zipper". I also have a plastic spoon on my desk that I use to eat yogurt every day and then wash and put back in the drawer. Today, I didn't have anything to bring for lunch, but I found a few snacks to put together and forewent eating out, despite the proximity of a really good Chinese restaurant that's calling my name. Then again, I have to go grocery shopping tonight, so there goes everything Ive saved and then some.

I cut plastic shopping bags I got from my son into strips for knitting,gave a poo fairy (I made from scraps of felt and yarn)as a joke to a friend who is suffering side effects from cancer.

I took 3 day old spanish rice, mixed in some good Korean BBQ sauce, and brought it to the office for lunch. Not only cheap but tasted better than what I could buy nearby.
