How are you frugal? Do you reuse plastic baggies? Do you cut paper towels into squares?

I cut my fabric softener sheets in half and they still do a good job. I won't dilute my dish soap, though. When I had a garden in the Midwest I fed it my coffee grounds. I keep bones to make soup. All leftovers go in a container in the freezer and when it's full I make soup or a casserole out of all the meat scraps and vegetables. I quit smoking and now save about $30 a week, that's pretty frugal. I rarely buy name brand foods and I'll buy dented items if the can is not bulging. I can't think of anything else right offhand but nearly everything I do is frugal or downright cheap. One more thing--I love live theatre and when I could drive at night I used to go to high school plays. I could not afford the prices of professional stage plays and some of those kids are very talented. The last time I went I got in for $5 and thoroughly enjoyed myself.

I make my own foaming soap for in the bathroom. I reuse the pump container and fill it with a solution of liquid hand soap and water. Instead of $2.00 or more for a container, I pay about $0.20 per refill.

My frugality has to do with eating everything I cook and not wating leftovers or serving more than needed. I scrub the dishes with cold water and fill the dishwasher completly before I turn it on. I do the same with the washing machine. And I sun dry my garments and gave away my dryer a long time ago.

We make our own laundry soap (have for years) our own toothpaste (just healthier) our own cleaners (very easy to do) and details to make most things are online.

I'm not frugal at all. I mean, I try to save money by buying store brands of some things and getting items on sale but I don't do anything like reusing plastic bags or dilute dish soap or anything on that order.
