I also try to buy things in bigger sizes & less packaging. Less to have to recycle.
I have tomatoes in a pot on my deck. I got the plants for free from my local library. They have a garden series program once a month except for June, July August & December. They get a speaker on all different types of gardening issues. It's free & 5 mins. from my house. They have been doing this since 2000. Very educational.
I have been trying to buy less stuff & reuse the stuff I already have in new ways. I also have gone to several garage sales & even found a few Christmas gifts there!! So yes being aware has saved me some money & kept things out of the landfills.
In regards to the web site, check out the blog as I have gotten a lot of ideas from other posters. Even more frugal ones than the tip of the day! You can even go to their old tips(since 2005). I have been getting their emails since May 2007.
On a personal note, are you a Kathleen or a Katherine? I have a daughter Kathy who is a Kathleen.
