One easy way to save money on locally grown produce is to simply sleep in. Wait until the end of the day when farmers are less likely to take the unsold produce back with them; you'll get better prices on just-as-fresh produce. The only caveat? If you have a very specific shopping list in mind, you may be out of luck. So go with an open mind, and you'll save money on your shopping trip.

Warmer months mean picnics at the park. Even if the venue has trash cans for food packaging, consider bringing as few food items as possible because overflowing receptacles can be a buffet for wildlife; a gust of wind can redistribute your trash all over the park. Wrap sandwiches in aluminum foil and opt for a beverage in a reusable thermos that has a built-in cup. Pack fruit that wraps itself -- like bananas or apples -- and bring the peels and skins home. Bring everything and take everything home with you.

If you use lemons in your salad dressing or lemonade, they can be reused to whiten napkins and linens. Fill a large stockpot with the squeezed lemons and water; bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and soak your whites in the hot water for an hour or so, allowing the citric acid to naturally brighten the whites and remove stains. Drain, wash and dry in the sunlight for an extra whitening boost.
