Tip #15 Here's one for EVERYONE!

This one is simple, and easy! We are all seeing those re-useable grocery bags around, but do you actually have them? They come in all colors and designs (I even added a bar to the top of the page where you can create your own CUSTOM bags! Add photos or pick from the many on the page already!)
Anyways, what most people don't know is some local grocery stores are actually offering an incentive to use these bags! It may not be much, but if you do a lot of shopping, those bags will pay for themselves!!
The store owner wins because it does not have to buy soo many plastic bags (you still need to use them for things like meat so as not to contaminate your other foods.) and the landfill does not fill up as quickly!
You can go all out and get different kinds of bags for different kinds of shopping! Have seperate Cleaning products, clothes and food bags!

Tip # 14: Getting new furniture or appliances??

So this is one you won't use often, but it will come in handy! If you are getting new (at least new to you) furniture or applicances don't just haul it to the dump! (Which will cost money!)
If it is in decent shape, take it to your local goodwill! It's free!!!!
If you don't have a local goodwill, post a 'curb alert' on craigslist, any local (free) classified ads in your area, a local Habitat for Humanity or find a furinture mission...
The point is, there are MANY other options other than the costly landfill, these are either free or require little to no work! And MUCH better for the environment!!!!
