All of my things are tiny this week. 🙂
1. I put my white shirt in the sunshine
My white American Giant tee had a few faint stains on the front that I figured were probably food-based.
So, I put the shirt in the sun for a few hours, and now all is well.
Sunshine is great for getting rid of stains on white fabric because you don’t have to worry about the sun fading the rest of the garment; it’s all white anyway!
2. I doctored up my sparkling water
I saved the syrup from some passion fruit canned peaches (from Aldi), and added a bit of it to my glasses of sparkling water.
It’s kinda like a no-extra-effort simple syrup; perfect for when you want a very slightly sweet drink. 🙂
3. I watered my plants with my dehumidifier water
It’s been pretty dry here lately, but of course, with it being summer, the air has not been dry.
So, my basement dehumidifier is still pulling out plenty of water from the air, and I have been using it to water my non-edible plants outside.
(Dehumidifier water tends to have bacteria in it that might make it unsafe to use on edible plants.)
But for the edible ones, I’ve been using the water from my salad spinner.
4. I swapped out my A/C filter
A dirty air conditioning filter makes the unit work harder to cool the house. So, I try to be good about replacing them during the summer months.
I have baseboard hot water heat, so this is only a warm-weather task for me!
5. I walked to my mammogram
I had a 7:05 am appointment, and as I was trying to figure out when I’d fit in my exercise for the day, I realized…I could just walk there, since it’s near the college.
So, that’s what I did. This obviously did not save me very much gas, especially since I have a hybrid car now, but hey, it’s fitting with the tiny frugal things concept. 😉
I do not love getting mammograms, but hey, a few minutes of discomfort once a year is not a huge ask, especially since early detection is so important.
Your turn! What frugal things have you been up to lately?
