Try generic frozen organic fruits and vegetables. If the cost of organic fresh peas and strawberries is too high, consider hitting the frozen section and trying store-brand produce. The USDA National Organic Program requires products that bear its certified organic label to prove that they are organic from farm to processing facility. Store-brand frozen organics aren't just cheaper; they are also picked at the peak of ripeness and flash frozen for freshness, so they are just as healthy as fresh produce.

Outdoor leaks can be hard to detect since drips absorb into the ground and don't leave any trace of a problem. To see if your outdoor faucets are leaking, attach a balloon to the opening of the faucet (make sure it stays in place with a tight rubber band or zip tie). Come back a few days later: If the balloon is full of any water, you have a leak. You can call a plumber to fix it or learn how to do it yourself by visiting a home improvement.

Take a moment this morning to check the showerhead in your bathroom for any leaks. A leaking showerhead that loses 10 drips per minute equals around 500 gallons of wasted water a year. That's enough to do 60 loads of dishes in the dishwasher! You can fix the leak easily with pipe tape and a wrench -- just watch a YouTube video explaining how. It'll make your old showerhead as good as new, and it's an inexpensive and easy fix anyone can do.
