But closing more than half the registers in your home can backfire -- it can cause complications with the flow resistance of your system, which can cause mechanical complications that can lead to costly repairs.

Skin care therapists have to start somewhere, and that place is often at the nationwide Aveda Institute. Since students need hands-on training, you can get not one, not two, but FIVE Aveda facial treatments for the normal cost of one. Top trainers supervise all students, and you reap a five-star facial for as low as $20. It's a great way to try Aveda's all-natural products at a fraction of the cost. Check out the menu of deeply discounted eco-beauty treatments at aveda.edu.
