WATER - I was wasting a lot of water. So I've started using gray water, which is water that has been used for something else, i.e., washing dishes, taking a shower, etc. I use two bowls to wash the dishes. One with water I heat up in the microwave as it's cheaper to run than the hot water header, (which I'm not keeping turned on four days in a row. I turn it on for 6-10 hours to heat up then shut it back off again), and a bowl to rinse. After they're done I use that water to either flush the toilet or water the non-veggie plants with. 

When I would shower I would turn the water on to "heat up" and then sit there reading. Sometimes for 10 minutes while the water just kept running down the drain. Now I have the nozzle pointing down and get into the back of the shower. Besides this time of year cold and cool showers are what you take. The other thing I did was to replace the big wide open showerhead that was in there with a low flow military type showerhead. A military showerhead has a on/off switch on it. So I wet myself down and shut off the water and soap up. That was the water is just the right temperature and pressure when I turn it back on and the water is not just running down the drain.

I got one of those sets of fuzzy rugs/seat covers for the toilet, so now I step out of the shower, sit down and shave my face while it's still wet, mine while I'm drip/air drying. This was the clean towel stays clean a little longer and I only have to wash them every 5 days. I used to shave my head in the shower with the water running over it, now I just use a bowl of water and use it to flush the toilet.

I've been spending about $20 a month on bottled water. Not much really, but I am looking into some type of filter system. I really don't like the taste of the tap water here, but I'm willing to try.
