One more - if 3 or less people eat in the house, consider preparing food in large amounts (things like soup or mixture for hamburgers),dividing into small portions in plastic boxes or zip bags and freezing. If you have a large freezer you can have different kinds of food, and each day defreeze enough for a meal - preparing and/or cooking in bulk saves on ingredients and energy, as well as time, and of course is much cheaper than buying prepared foods. Also try hamburger recepies that combine meat and vegetables - some of them are awesome! great list!

Because I do, I can do a lot of things that other people can't. I used to buy washcloths in 12-pack bundles for $1.99. I have probably dozen right now. PREPARE yourself, because I don't want to gross anyone out, but I use them as toilet paper. Not if I do #2, just if I do #1. I throw them in the wash with everything else. I do a 2nd rinse because I'm on a well and don't pay for my water. Since they are all cotton, I can also throw in a cup of bleach, just for good measure. Nothing infuriates me more than going to the store and paying $10 for a pack of "double roll" toilet paper. One other thing I have trained myself to do: I go to the bathroom immediately before I leave work. BTW I've been doing this for 10 years and never get sick. And, I've never gotten a flu shot.

Don't buy a side by side fridge (stick to the ones that have a freezer on the top or bottom) because the side by side is less energy efficient than the other models. Also, models with the automatic ice makers actually use more energy than models without. Buying energy efficient appliances can really help but with the fridge you can take it one step further.
