1. Meredith says: Make your bed every morning. Somehow, it’ll make you feel better and get the day off to a good start.

2. Jennifer says: Put sugar and creamer in before your coffee, then you won’t have to stir!

3. Claudette says: My mother used vinegar to tenderize and clean meat of bacteria. By just pouring it over chicken or any meat it removes germs. Pour over a roast before seasoning – it seals the meat and tenderizes it.

4. Becky says: Stop using dryer sheets. Rinse your laundry twice and you don’t need them. Saves the earth by not emitting the chemicals and having to deal with used dryer sheets.

5. Chaz says: I save every disposable container I can to reuse for storing bulk food. Buying in bulk also helps to reduce packaging, especially if you bring your own container to the store.

6. Rachel says: Don’t drink anything after 9 or 10 p.m., or else you’ll be up all night going to the bathroom.

7. Charles says: Use lemonheads or sourballs to help stop smoking, drinking, and weight gain, as they kill the appetite. Eat two just before the urge to indulge sets in.

8. Jay says: You will never quit smoking until you get to a point where you want to quit smoking. If you don’t have the desire to quit, you won’t. And if you really want to quit you won’t need patches, gum, or electric shocks to do it.

9. Carol says: Hang your clothes out to dry, especially during the summer. You don’t need to waste as much money and electricity on your dryer as you think.

10. Peter says: Use all-natural, biodegradable, flushable kitty litter!
