I do my own nails usually rather than at a salon.
I let my husband cut my hair about half the time.
I dye my own hair.
We don’t eat out much, and I often use coupons when we do.
I buy packaged goods on sale.
Do my own gardening and lawn chemicals. I do pay someone to mow.
In the winter I turn down the heat during the day. When I lived in a large house I blocked off one entire zone and kept it at 62 when we weren’t using it, and we rarely used it. The rest of the house was 68–70.
Completely turn off the irrigation for the lawn when it’s a rainy time of year.
I usually buy inexpensive face lotion, but I just spent a small fortune on some Chanel that I haven’t in years, so I’m not sure I can still say it.
I buy drug store shampoo and conditioner.
I use the free shampoos and conditioners from hotels.
Inexpensive laundry detergent when my husband isn’t around. He likes Tide. It’s a fortune. It’s double what I pay for other laundry soap.
My husband uses reusable K cups and we buy the coffee on sale. Right now he lives in an apartment and there is free coffee, so he goes down every morning to save the 50¢ or whatever it amounts too.
