March is MOO month.
The month when we Cheapskaters do our very best to make our own cleaning products, treats, meals, cosmetics, clothes, garden products and anything else we use day-to-day.
When we make our own we don't just save money. We know exactly what goes into our food and cleaning products. We cut down on the amount of packaging going to landfill. We put things that would otherwise be sent to landfill to use by recycling them into something new.
Think back to what life was like just 60 years ago. Most grocery shopping was for ingredients. There were very few convenience products on the market. Meals were cooked from scratch. Most women could knit and sew for their family. Men knew how to do simple home maintenance tasks like changing a washer, replacing broken windows, servicing the lawn mower and the car if they had one. Even medicines were made at home instead of bought from the Chemist.
Many of you are already dedicated MOOers. Some of you haven't attempted MOOing yet. And some of you are taking baby steps towards complete MOOing. Wherever you are on the pathway to MOOing, let's all focus on Making Our Own and see where it takes us.
Check back every day for a brand new MOO you can try!
