Hadn't used my car since Tuesday and that was a trip of under 1 mile up and back.
I made swiss steak (bottom round steak) in my crock pot yesterday. Even though the directions called from 4 to 6 hours, it was done in a lot less. I checked it after 3 hours and it was falling apart. If I would have cooked it to their directions, I would have cooked it for at least another hour. Using the crockpot uses less energy than the 220 electric range.
Also, more frugal is that I'm still cooking food that I had from our vacation.
I also did alot of my errands in one trip.
