Simple Living
Not exactly preping, simple living for us is using what we have or what we can easily get locally... It's repurposing instead of throwing away... some examples to start...
We now use only soap and shampoo bars instead of body wash, bubble bath, shampoo and conditioner, etc. No chemicals, no plastics, save tons of money.
We do not buy food in plastic jars. Mayo, ketchup, salad dressings... all in glass and we reuse the galss jars for all kinds of things. The latest is a board I screwed a bunch of lids to and then mounted as a shelf (with the lids on the bottom)in the shop. I fill the jars with nails, screws, staples, etc. that are left over from projects, then twist them into the lids. I can see what's in there and it's easy to sort and access all the little stuff.
I have started buying all clothing second hand except underclothes and shoes.
Anybody else have something they are doing to live more simply?
