Re: Which items you don't buy anymore?
Things I don't buy:
haircuts for my kids - I bought Wahl clippers and do it myself. I tried grooming the dog but didn't have much luck with that! But, I do have the dog trimmed very short which cuts down on grooming and I bathe her myself in between.
DVDs, CD's, magazines - We use the library. I don't buy CD's, just listen to the radio instead.
TV dinners/frozen dinners - I bought some containers with divided compartments. When I cook, any leftovers go in there and are frozen for TV dinners.
Household cleaners - I used to buy way too many. Now, I only buy a few concentrated things and mix with water in a spray bottle. So, I use Murphy's Oil soap for wood, general cleaning, bleach for the bathroom, and PineSol for other cleaning. I don't buy Swiffer things anymore either. Just use a mop and bucket instead!
Car washes - I do it at home myself.
Diapers - We are finally done with those! I have 3 kids and it is nice not to buy those or other "baby things".
Pop - When we go out to eat, I generally just get water. Or, if we go through the drive-thru, I get meals with no pop. We just go home to eat.
