So for the last 2 years I\u2019ve been collecting recipes for plain cleaners and wanting to go \u201cgreen\u201d and cheap, and have done nothing. Nothing! I tell you. I am ashamed.<\/p>\n
At least we have our 72-hour kits<\/a> and a good supply of food laid in (but what WE have depends on electricity, yipes). I also have Amy Dacyczyn\u2019s book, The Tightwad Gazette<\/em><\/a>, and there are all sorts of resources online to help pare down.<\/p>\n It\u2019s time for the Mojo-Dude Family to turn Yank: Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without.<\/p>\n First thing to go: Water cooler and associated water delivery service.<\/p>\n Second thing: Homemade cleaners, coming right up! No more Scrubbing Bubbles<\/a> or Simple Green<\/a>, no matter how much I love thee.<\/p>\n Third thing: Homemade bribes for the Tax Deductions. No more \u201cif you eat your dinner, I\u2019ll let you have a [insert store-bought treat here].\u201d This means I will have to, uhm, bake<\/em>. I\u2019m not a bad cook, nor a bad baker. I don\u2019t loathe and despise and spit upon the act of baking, either. I just don\u2019t care for it much. Today\u2019s bribery stock-up baking: goodie cookies also known as Russian tea cakes<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So for the last 2 years I\u2019ve been collecting recipes for plain cleaners and wanting to go \u201cgreen\u201d and cheap, and have done nothing.
