Here’s a couple examples from my life:

  1. Safety Razor. I get a better shave and it’s like $15 for 100 razor blades, which lasts me a couple years. Way way way better than the disposable multi-blade Gillette things, which sell 5 heads for $20.

  2. Handkerchiefs. I am prone to allergies, so instead of constantly buying disposable tissues, we now have a stack of handkerchiefs that can just be used a few times and then thrown in the wash. This has also saved me loads.

What about you?

    I do a few things. I drink Cold Brew “black”, I use the Areo Press to make my coffee. Drive a EV, I have a 3 degree temp swing on thermostat longer on and off time is more efficient away temp setpoint is 61 and home 63 and sleep 62 degrees. All led lights use a electric razor, I don’t drink milk, sodas, juice only water and cold teas “Black no sugar or cream”. Use a toaster oven VS the regular oven for small cooking jobs or reheating. Cook some food for the week like chicken breast and sweet potatoes and reheat in the toaster oven. When I take a shower I turn the heat maybe a degree higher if the heat isn’t on so the boiler is more efficient. In the summer I have two window inverter AC set @73, the inverter AC save so much electricity and are fairly quiet. Almost forgot I was my clothes in cold water.
