Whenever you shop, look for items that can be used more than once — plastic instead of paper plates, sponges instead of paper towels. One sponge can last as long as 17 rolls of paper towels! That means you could save as much as $33 not buying towels before throwing the sponge away. (When your sponge starts to smell, you can wash it with the dishes right in the dishwasher.)

    There’s always a way to find a re-use for something.

    Microwaving the sponge every so often kills the germs and makes it (you!) last longer.
