Since using cloth diapers, I'm now starting to see where all the money is being saved! I felt bad about using water (somewhat hot) to soak and wash them in so I decided to cut my shower time (which had been my ongoing luxury that I said I couldn't cut) by doing my sudsing, shampooing etc. without the water running. I feel that's my break even.

With groceries I just stock up --mad style! I hoard things and my hubby makes fun of me for it but I know we save money that way. The one thing with me is clothes...I shop too much in that dept but at least I buy used! I'm part greenie, part penny pincher.

I almost feel bad cuz I've bought most of my boys clothes used and I see all the other parents putting their kids in nice new clothes but I feel it'll be my contribution towards a greener earth b/c his clothes don't look that used! He'll be out of those in no time and I doubt he'll get any really ''good use out of most of them''. Thank heaven for Trade me cuz that's saved me heaps.

my hint is about saving power and time... ('scuse me if I'm repeating myself - I can't remember if I've already put it on here!!).  I like to cook twice the amount we eat for tea, freeze the other meal, and then there's a dinner already made sitting there for a busy day.  Less in power to re-heat as it is to cook a fresh meal.  But it's the time thing that does it for me.
