How'd you like to cut your grocery bill, improve your health, help the planet, and eat food that tastes great? It's within your reach. Here are a few ideas for making it happen.
1. Don’t Buy Rinse Aid, Windex, or odor-repellents.
Use good ole white vinegar in
place of all of these products. You may have to refill the rinse aid dispenser
more often, but since vinegar costs about a tenth of those fancy, expensive,
toxic, earth-polluting commercial rinse aid solutions, you’ll actually be
saving money (and not contributing to the poisoning of our earth, sorry for the
guilt-trip, couldn’t help myself.) Vinegar diluted with water, is more
effective, creates on build-up, is non-toxic, and works great on windows,
mirrors, and nearly all surfaces. Got a stinky trash can? Spray some vinegar in
there and let it evaporate – it will remove the offending smell. Before you ask
– yes - in all these uses, the vinegary scent disappears in minutes. There are
lots of other
ways to use vinegar to replace expensive cleaners.
