Set aside one day a week to do most of your shopping. Instead of running errands every day, pick a day of the week when you can plan on getting almost everything you need for the week. By making a weekly list, you may find multiple items can be found at the same store -- rather than revisiting that store several times during the week. Plus, shopping doesn't become a mindless activity, but a scheduled activity with real purpose.

Make sure new parents, baby sitters and family members taking care of babies know this simple rule: Never, ever flush a diaper down a toilet. Disposable diapers are so advanced today that absorbent materials inside the diaper can swell up inside the plumbing of your home. The more you flush, the worse the clog gets.

So much time and resources go into a wedding day that it can seem kind of wasteful to spend so much money on a dress that will be worn only once. The website www.preownedweddingdresses.com helps brides be gorgeously green and save money by purchasing once-worn designer gowns at a fraction of the price. Brides can also sell their dress post-wedding on the site to generate money as well.
