Getting cheaper

I am finding ways to get cheaper around here to say the least.  This is what is hurting alot of folks that come over to my place.  I can laugh about some things that have went on here for the household that I have done in the past 5 months here.  The house phone went totally out the door/window since I hardly use it myself here anyway.  Some would have freaked out totally if I would have let them stay here instead of throwing them out.  Also at this point yes I am still going cheaper for the household here out of habbit and I have no other choice here in the matter also.  It is amazing that some things are sticking around since I have thrown some people out of my place and told them no about moving back in from the can to the household here.  I still get out and walk to collect the nickles and that does help out for some things here while I am at it.  With that said since I have been cutting back even more here in the past 5 months some folks just do not get it at all in what I have been doing or still doing for the place.  I have been cutting back even more for the household for the cleaners here to streach them out here even further since there was not a good reason for some to go thru a bottle of dish soap within a month at the trailer now it lasts for about 4 months around here.  That goes along with the laundry soap also.  Since I have been hanging all of the laundry around here at the house it is not that bad at all.  Of course it takes longer to dry around here and that is ok by me since I am saving about 100-150 dollars off the power bill right then and there with that part of it all.  I know it drives some folks nuts that come over to the house now and I figure that they do not have to pay my bills at all also for the house.  With some folks they do not get it in why I am cooking from scratch and cutting things down here.  Also the paper towles are not being used as much anymore here.  I have the hand towles that you have to wash and that is what I use to wipe off my hands along with rags to clean with here.  Within 7 months I have only had to buy a package of paper towles once for the household.  That should say something to some folks around here totally about in what I do for the household here now.  I have cut the 7 dollar cost down totally for that part of the household here and some could not get the hang of that part of the trailer at all after about 4 months even.  The other is to use less of the cleaners.  When I started out with going on the cheap side here the first to get done was cutting down on the laundry soap.  It took some time to do and it got done.  I use very little for the laundry to be washed now and some cringe at how little I use all of the time now.
