Harvies - March 2018
When I'm doing washing, washing dishes, my hair, measuring for a recipe, I always try to think of my mantra "can I use half?". Cath actually inspired me to do this as she was telling us how to bulk out things with water i.e. shampoo and conditioner. Whenever I'm washing dishes say, I'll squeeze the tiniest amount of dishwashing liquid into the sponge- never in the water- as the sponge helps make me feel there is more. I do this with washing powder, petrol, recipes, watering the garden sometimes, just about everywhere I'm using something. The other day I was using our leaf blower but only did half of the yard, then raked up the rest. I estimate I've saved thousands by halving. I tell people my rule - some think I'm miserly, but others applaud me. Don't get me wrong- I use a full teabag hehe, but in this wasteful world my "harvie" rule has saved us time AND money. It's also fantastic for the waistline! It really is the small things that add up. It helps if you think in $$$.
