Frugality is a habit just like any other. Habits are powerful things. If you make sure to get into good habits, they can change your life for the better, a little bit at a time.

Some examples of frugal habits that I use without thinking about them are:

• Using half the recommended amount of laundry detergent
• Washing a few large loads on the weekends (to use less water and a cheaper time of use) instead of several smaller loads
• Using half a dryer sheet instead of a whole one
• Making sure the dishwasher is full before running it
• Using only a small amount of dish detergent instead of the recommended amount
• Using a mop, vinegar & water instead of the hateful-smelling Swiffer
• Turning worn-out clothes into rags, which can then be used instead of paper towels
• Combining errands into one circular trip
