Curious how others make ends meet?

I reuse all I can.  Butter tubs, tv dinner containers, use less
tooth paste, cheap TP, use cloth napkins rather than buy paper
napkins, don't use paper towels (WAY TOO expensive).  Use rags.


I recycle for the environment.

I don't use butter because it's 100% fat.
Prepared foods like TV dinners are too expensive.
I don't use less tooth paste. I use the correct amount.
Two rolls of  towels at the dollar store is not very expensive.
But yes, I too use rags.

Even if it was 100% fat it turns out to be healthier than margarine. Who

for you.

  I switched to real butter a while back. It's one of those rare items
that is cheaper than it was years earlier (I guess because of there
being so much skim and low fat milk). And not only doesn't it take much,
but it tastes like the real deal because it is.

 There's no need to use margarine either. I've heard the health claims
for butter. I just don't chose to wear it.

Well, there's no NEED to do anything but lay down and die.  However,
most people aren't willing do exercise that option.

A little butter won't hurt most people.
