Go ahead. Just try me. Send me a blank check (made payable to "Jeff Yeager, The Green Cheapskate") and see if I succumb to the social pressures to buy any of the following:
1. "Green" household cleaners - Do you know about baking soda and vinegar?

3. A cell phone - Pay to ruin the quality of my life?
4. Bottled water - News Flash: Bottled water may be unsafe, and definitely a waste of money and resources. Hate to say it, but I told you so.

Bravo!! That is great :) I have been teetering on the idea of some green cleaners, but in my mind I know baking soda does the trick! Do you buy it in bulk somewhere? There are some products I must have (my Topricin pain cream is one of them, because I do NOT want to rely on oral pain meds like acetaminophen!!!) and I just know I could not make them at home. Anyway- great perspective!
