month? The expenses seem to increase every month. If you are in

in your mailbox. Some of these letters are printed on one side
only. Collect these letters and combined them into a writing
pad. You can also used them to print draft documents. Besides

cistern, the amount of water saved can be as much as three
gallons per month.

conditioner is a major contributor to your utility bill. By
using the fan, not only are you saving on your utility bill, you
are also building up your body's tolerance to heat. Your chances
of getting heat exhaustion or heat stroke during the hot summer
season are greatly reduced.
4. Do not throw away that old bar of soap yet. As your wash your
hands with soap on a daily basis, the bar will become smaller
and smaller until it is almost unusable. Instead of throwing it
away, simply stick the old bar of soap onto the new one. Just
make sure both of them are wet when sticking them together.

squeeze out any toothpaste from the tube, just cut it in-half.
There is some more toothpaste left that can last you for a
couple of days if you have a large family. If you live alone or
with your spouse only, the extra toothpaste can last up to five
days or even more.
