Re: Tips & Tricks
75. When possible, I use the wood stove to heat food. I also keep a tea kettle on to add moisture to the air.
76. I collect the cold water while I am waiting for the hot water to come. I keep this water in a bucket on the wood stove so I always have hot water available.
77. I try to use 1/2 of everthing such as shampoo, laundry soap, dish soap, tooth paste, etc.
78. I bought a floor lamp to replace the 2 table lamps. It gives us more light for less wattage.
79. Where possible, I replaced the light bulbs with energy conservation ones. (I forgot what they were called). I also put one on the hen house so we get eggs during the winter.
80. My husband buys stock over the internet & only pays $8 per trade. I might do this with my girls' savings. Who knows, maybe they'll be rich by the time they marry. I'm hoping that they will at least have enough for a down-payment on a house.
