Don't remember this frugal tip being mentioned. Calling local tree trimmers and paying to have tree mulch dropped off at your home. OR, we have a tree company who is contracted by our county and they are happy to help their community and drop for free plus save a few bucks unloading it quickly.

We got aftermarket batteries from ebay and really, really like them. They jave served us well. Went from 3 amps to 6 amps too. ** I should say 2x. Both dh and I have a set of Makita impact driver and cordless drill. He got the first set we liked it so much when mine went we got another set. It...

From 2019. Maybe we are doing better now. I'd like to believe we are. Here we ship off island to China and for a bit they were not excepting any more. I believe we are over the shipping issues. I'm still 100% recycling any and all I can not reuse or compost. If nothing else to drive them into a...

Sorry, did not get notification 😕 Yes, hand turn lol. But only 1x. We added the French drain for some added air and to speed things up. Can get finished compost in 3-4 months if we play it right. Yes, I was following that thread. Like you I just get so excited about compost (chickens, cats...

X2! Same happened here. Paying near new prices for something full of dust in a broken box that you can't test or bring back if it does not work. BS! I won't even donate to them anymore. I will have a good giveaway pile at my next garage sale instead. Maybe we answered the landfill question lol 😆...

Restore, goodwill etc. Kind of blame the people for not dropping at one of those places. Glad the landfill guy was flexible and let you take it away 👍👍👍 Our landfill is pretty liberal and we have gotten a few wheelbarrels, a dolly and a bike to mention just a few. All still in use.

My gal pal calls it q-tip. I like snow head 😉 I got my first white hair at 22 but usually the sun blended them in for me. Now I am almost totally white except... I do buy a lovely little pink hair tinting shampoo from Daddy-O in Canada. I just leave it on my tips for 30 minutes and then shampoo...

I think because they are young it makes sense for them. For me no. I have a 21 year old vehicle, fairly decent on gas and have no desire to upgrade. To cut down I preplan my trips, don't drive much and I ride my motorcycle most of the time. That is probably as good as I am gunna get unless I...

One of our kids in SF just got the full Monty. 2 solar powered cars, PV w/ battery back up, hot water on demand @ all stations. Smart kids, did a lot of the work themselves. Inspiring.

Our community set up a solar lease company to install solar panels for mostly our kupuna to offset their costs. By law we have to have solar **water heater or on demand. With the PV lease program they instal the panels for free and homeowner gets electric for lower rates. My aunties electric...

My first French press is 17 years old now. Good bargain. 1000 times better than perked.

Here, it is $2,000 for a studio and you can buy a piece of garbage in the worst neighborhood starting at $600,000. A nothing special 2bdrm on a busy road with no ocean view, no mountain view... heck. Not much of any view lol is listed and will sell for $800,000 The "spec" housing killed the...

Today I went and picked up more grain bags -much like our feed bags- from a brewery. It was so refreshing to hear the adult men tell me how unhappy they are with throwing out their bags and are happy to collect and save for me and my project! This collective awareness makes my heart happy. I...

I'm with you but sure Az has its charm along with cost of living. My daughter is there. Pre pandemic they were able to live in a nice house for much less than other places.

Yes, there is that. I'm sure you could hand sew if you wanted to though.... may come a day when that skill comes in handy.

Make reusable bags!! Church sales, non profits, Christmas gifts, egg sales, farmers markets. Nothing to it! 🛍

X2! We use it also for many auto etc repairs or affirmations. LoVE the dryer repair for $18 👍👍👍

https://www.falm.com/pallet-treatment/#:~:text=Pallets%20must%20be%20treated%20to,bugs%20from%20country%20to%20country. Yes. With just a little bit more to it I believe.

Pallet are marked with what they have been treated with. Best to get the HT or heat treated ones and avoid the blue and .... one other color can't remember so again, refer to the stamp on pallet. Lining planters with plastic and reusing as water dishes I would also think of BP leaching into the...

I heard of surfers in Indonesia doing the same but building homes! 🤔💡 brilliant! We need something useful out of all that darn plastic to be made.
