I’ve been making my own bread (gotta love that bread machine) for awhile and recently started making my own soda thanks to SodaStream. I have a recipe for making yogurt in my crockpot and am going to start making my own yogurt once I’ve eaten the store bought yogurt I already have in my fridge. Just need to figure out how I’m going to do strawberry-banana. Maybe, I’ll try mashing a some (frozen) strawberries & a banana and mix that in to my yogurt. Last week I received the soymilk maker and soybeans I had ordered through Amazon and am looking forward to making my own soymilk once I’ve finished off the half gallon I have in my fridge. All of this for the sake of reduction. Reduction of the amount of trash I toss out. Reduction of the amount of money I spend on things that are going to be consumed and last but certainly not least on the list of things I hope to reduce is the number of heavy & usually bulky items that I end up having to lug home on the bus. Hopefully, I’ll be increasing the amount of things I recycle, my health, & the amount of money I have to put toward savings & the things I enjoy doing such as travel. To help with this effort in reduction I’m currently reading “The Coupon Mom’s Guide To Cutting Your Grocery Bills In Half” by Stephanie Nelson & “The Complete Tightwad Gazette” by Amy Dacyzyn.
