If you answered yes to either of those questions, then you may need to visit Sustain Lane's Greenbusters Page. You may have heard that the energy it takes for your home to reheat after you've turned the thermostat down isn't worth the savings, but that's not true. In fact, the energy… Continue

Cynthia One Idea With Three Benefits

Benefit Your Health, the Planet's Health, and Your Wallet How? Eat less meat. Now, I'm a vegetarian, but I don't consider myself preachy about it, and I have no problem being around meat or meat eaters. Sure, I could point you to dozens of gross videos about factory farming and try to appeal to your compassion for animals—but I've never thought that was the main point. Cruelty to animals aside, here are my top reasons I propose for everyone to simply cut their meat intake: Your Body… Continue

Cynthia Fun, Frugal Blogs

I ran across two blogs today I thought some of you might enjoy too. One is more serious, it's called Spending Smart, by blogger Gregory Karp -- he "offers useful, specific and often simple ways to cut household costs, with a focus on plugging the leaks of wasteful spending."

Cynthia Tips for a Greener Computer: Save Money and Energy!

Here are some ideas I've gathered on how to make your computer more efficient. I hope they help you! I really have noticed a decrease in my electricity bill when I turn off power strips or unplug cords of items not in use.

Cynthia Are You a Locavore?

Have you heard the word locavore? It's Oxford University's word of the year—a distinction reserved for newly coined terms that have gained popularity. A locavore is someone who considers themselves part of a movement where people are trying to eat locally grown, in-season food as much as possible. There are many reasons: for one, I think you can save money eating locally. Second, it's healthier to eat naturally-gr… Continue

Cynthia Use Loyalty Cards to Save Money

Every year, millions of grocery coupons go unused. That's millions of dollars someone could have saved. It's a waste if you think about it! I look at loyalty cards the same way. Sure, it's sort of a pain to carry them around, but they are a great way to save money. From my small, local coffee and sandwich shop to big grocery chains and restaurant chains—I've got loyalty cards for almost everywhere I shop. (Now, some larger chains have you register and you do give up some privacy when you join--… Continue

Sylvia Pay Yourself First and Save

By the end of the month, does it seem your whole paycheck disappeared into thin air? I've never had a problem paying bills on time, but putting money into a savings account has always been a challenge for my husband and I until recently. One of our New Year's resolutions was to start putting more money into our savings. It's been only a few months, but we can already see that the few simple changes we implemented at the beginning of the year are helping our nest egg grow. If you are looking for… Continue
