Another example of wastefulness to think about – I was a scout leader and PTA room mom. Whenever we offered sandwiches or snacks to the group, we noticed a large amount of waste afterward. I started...

To comment #37– reuseable cloth toilet paper? Do you mean a washcloth? I can see it now: “Honey, don’t put that shirt in the washer, I’m getting ready to do a load of shit rags.”

Cool article! I’m interested from a green perspective even more than the moneysaving side, but either way, thinking about little things does help, and for those big-picture thinkers, can lead to...

I really enjoyed reading this post! My family has also been trying to determine just how little we can consume. We are fleeing from a lifestyle of excess and embracing the frugal, conservative...

More than anything, I think the comments here just represent how differently we all are in little details of our life. As for my son using one square, he’s three years old. He uses one square, then...

A three year old really should not be giving advise on the use of toilet paper. One look at his/her underwear will tell you why!

I just finished reading many of these comments, and this is the funniest discussion I’ve read in a long time. Thanks for the comic relief! I think we all need to do our part, and we all have different...

Here is a kleenex saving idea. My dad keeps a good quality paper towel in all of his pants pockets to blow his nose on. He leaves it there to go through the washer and dryer and just keeps using it...

Great post… so true! Less is more, and that’s something we need to remember. We can conserve and save $$ at the same time!

This is a great post. Its hard sometimes for my husband to see that we can use less. We shop very frugal at my house and often shop for free, still I feel like if we can use less toothpaste, face wash,...

Reading these comments reminds me why I like to read posts instead of comments—such unnecessary unkindness. Trent wrote a post from an experience from his regular, daily life. It’s his story, just like...

Wow! Some people really got their back up about using a certain amount of TP squares! Looks like it struck a nerve. I think a lot of people are missing the point here. This post is really NOT about...

I do this too. A few minutes spent thinking about how to reduce the amount of stuff you are using, while it doesn’t yield massive financial return, is satisfying and does cut down on expenses and...

The little things do matter. My husband makes about $140k a year and therefore, we could afford to do a lot of things we don’t do. We live on about 1/2 of our income and have a nice life. I was able to...
