We now offer HankyBooks, an organic cotton handkerchief for you and your kids at a great discount! The handkerchief books are made of super soft and absorbent 100% organic cotton pages which are bound together – therefore the name HankyBOOK- within a protective cover. No more used and dirty handkerchiefs in your pocket!
You can use the inside pages of the HankyBook for all different kinds of purposes like blowing your nose, cleaning baby dribbles or wiping off dust and dirt. There are no limits! The protective cover ensures that your hands and pockets remain clean. What is also really great about them is that they are made of 100% organic cotton, reusable and washer & dryer safe! Instead of using regular tissues that are produced by cutting down trees, you can get the reusable Hankybooks which are organic AND reusable.
Leslie Uke, the founder and inventor of HankyBooks, wanted to address the problem of tissue and clutter waste, and steer people towards a non-disposable culture. Since she has been dealing with a ‘leaky faucet’ all her life, she got frustrated with regular tissues and the resulting red nose, so she invented a practical solution.
All HankyBooks are handmade from either second-hand fabrics (used for covers only) or 100% organic fabric. So you are not just doing a good deed for your nose, but also for the environment. Hankybooks can be ordered individually or in packs of three. They offer a variety of HankyBooks such as Red Fish Blue Fish, Pink Lotus, White Paisley, Green Vine and Baby Letters. The packages of three can be one style only, or a combination of styles. So get your own HankyBook today with our coupon code that is already included in our discount price!Get it here:... more

I am a VERY frugal person and have been doing several of these things for years. They do indeed work.
1. Quit washing your jeans
How often do you wash your blue jeans? After each wearing? Once a week? Once a month? According to some enthusiasts, you're destroying what should-be a longtime love affair. Blogger Dr. Denim says the most enthusiastic denim lovers will wear their new jeans six months before the first washing, then three months before a second washing.
And these aren't washings as you might picture them. Carl Chiara of Levi Strauss and Co. told the Wall Street Journal that at the six-month mark, he soaks his jeans in the bathtub with some very mild soap and lets them air-dry. That's it.
There is also an environmental spin to this issue: The United Nations put out a video encouraging people to wash their jeans less often.
Heat, water and detergents can make those new jeans look old in a hurry, but that's not such a good thing when the goal is to increase the lifespan of your favorite denims.
2. Dry your razor blades
Among the most overpriced items on the pharmacy shelf, IMHO, is the razor blade. An 8-pack of Gillette Fusion 5-blade cartridges from Amazon costs $2.64 per cartridge. If you go through one every two weeks, you'll spend $68.58 in a year. If you could cut that in half, what would you do with the extra $34 in your pocket?
Could these savings be as simple as drying your blades after each use? Oxidation of the steel blade can dull the cutting edge quicker than wear and tear against your facial hair, and the bathroom is the perfect climate for oxidation: warm and moist. If you store your razor in the shower (guilty!), don't be surprised if you find those telltale specs of rust on your blade after only a few days.
To extend the life of your blade, dry it carefully after use (if you use a hair dryer, waft it over your razor, too) and store it in a drawer away from the sink and shower.
There are a number of devices on the market that promise to resharpen your blades, but little information on whether they really work or not. Have you tried one? What was your experience?

1. “Good luck finding the best deal.”
When it comes to gas prices, most stations are branded—meaning the name of a major oil company hangs out front—and must buy gas from their proprietary company. They can’t shop around. With a lock on sales, the oil companies charge each station a different price depending on various factors, such as the station’s competition and its location. That means a station can pay as much as 46 cents a gallon more than one down the street, and that cost gets passed along to you.
2. “My gas isn’t better for your car; it’s just more expensive.” Read More: http://linkbee.com/ReduceUrGasPay
Oil companies spend lots of money explaining why their gas is better than the competition’s. Chevron’s gas, for example, is fortified with “Techron,” and Amoco Ultimate is supposed to save the planet along with your engine. But today more than ever, one gallon of gas is as good as the next.
3. “If you’re smart, you’ll put that debit card away . . .”
Your debit card might be a convenient way to pay for gas, but it’s a no-win proposition.. ((Article Continued: http://linkbee.com/ReduceUrGasPay ))
Best of luck gas-shopping everyone ;)
Hope this helps..Article Source: http://linkbee.com/ReduceUrGasPay

Last night, when I was headed to bed, I stopped and stared back into the living room. And I just KNEW there was something creepy about all my "shut-off" electronics, with their glowing red "sleep mode" lights, glaring at me through the darkness.
From the Associated Press, via CNN: "A force as insidious as Dracula is quietly sucking a nickel of every dollar's worth of the electricity that seeps from your home's outlets."
This is actually a very important article about responsible living and trying to leave a small footprint, but it opens with the most hilariously scary, loaded language I've seen since the special reports on bedbugs.
In short, though: Hey. You left your cell phone plugged into the wall, even though it was totally charged. That's 'vampire' electronics; you're using up electricity when you don't need to.Last night, when I was headed to bed, I stopped and stared back into the living room.... more
