\"15<\/a>As I was compiling a list of 15 things I do to save money I was amazed how many of these things I do to further my causes as a natural and green mother.<\/p>\n

1. I cook from scratch.<\/p>\n

2. I buy foods and home products in bulk.<\/p>\n

3. I make my son’s school lunches<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4. I use cloth diapers and usually sewed them myself.<\/p>\n

5. We do crafty things and DIY projects at home. For instance, we make our own play dough<\/a>.<\/p>\n

6. I shop at garage sales<\/a>.<\/p>\n

7. I make my own household products or beauty items<\/a>.<\/p>\n

8. I buy greeting cards in bulk and get them for pennies a piece.<\/p>\n

9. We go to the library often…to get books and to attend free seminars and kids classes.<\/p>\n

10. I garden and I make my own compost<\/a>.<\/p>\n

11. I am very good at saying no when my kids ask for toys at the store. But before you think I am an ogre…trust me they have plenty of toys at home. ;)<\/p>\n

12. My husband and I share minutes on our cell phones.<\/p>\n

13. I repurpose or reuse things if I can.<\/p>\n

14. My kids get alot of their “entertainment” outside…at home. If we do go out someplace it is with my husband who is only home every other weekend.<\/p>\n

15. We don’t eat fast food. This saves our health and our money because that stuff is expensive!<\/p>\n

So how about you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
