This was a great book full of useful tips! I was pleased to realize that I already follow many of these tips, although there is always room for improvement.I wanted share a tip you missed with the potential for big savings: Spices! Never buy your spices pre-packaged. Instead, purchase them from the bulk section. If your store doesn't have a bulk section, check your local health food stores or wait to purchase spices until you can visit a store that does offer loose spices. The savings are tremendous! For example, vanilla beans can cost between $7 - $10 for each bean pre-packaged, but less than a dollar apiece when purchased loose. And similar savings can be found for every spice you might want.Also, if you wash dishes by hand, place your dish soap in a pump bottle to reduce waste. And the same for liquid laundry detergent: one or two pumps is more than enough for most loads.I felt that there was one section missing in this book: pets!
