Water Container
Walmart had a good water solution. Stores 2 gallons, has a spigot, and a "filling" hole on top. I've got it on the counter and labeled it "do not drink". I also put a container outside of my shower. We'll have to see how this works.
I am a healthy and productive person who balances being a Mommy, writer, runner, and wife - not to mention myself - each and every day. I love every minute of it!
To the best of my recollection, here's what I've spent thusfar . . .
Grey water storage container (1 container x3) - $6.88 Dryer balls (2 balls x4) - $9.44 Compost pail - $34.95 (could have been $20) Bio bags for compost pail (100) - $20 Compost barrel - $190 Reusable grocery bags (5 bags) - $1 Shredder - $20 Sandwich containers (5) - $1.24 Britta water filter - Filters for Britta - Family water bottles - $14 Tall Kitchen Bio Bags (25 bags) - $5 + shipping ($5.50) Puppy Poop Bio Bags (35 bags) - $5 + shipping ($5.50) Rain barrel - $85
Of course, now I have to go back and measure what I've done away with to make any comparison, but here is a start and a way for me to keep track of costs until I put together something more accurate and easy to follow.
