When I babysit, we do simple crafts using whatever we can find around the house. While it's great to have a ton of supplies, sometimes using less is much more fun and rewarding as well! We really enjoy turning simple items into cool projects! Thanks!
I definitely would do more with less clutter in my house. I would feel better about myself and it would help me become motivated about finishing some tasks I have ignored.
I am considering selling about 12-16 inches of my long natural dirty blond hair. I have been unsuccessful in finding a place to do it so far. Does anyone have any suggestions?
We are pretty ruthless about getting rid of something before something new comes in, it's the only way when you have very limited storage. We also try to get things with more than one purpose so we don't waste $ or room.
I do more with less by using coupons, buying store brands and shopping in consignment stores. We only go out to eat if we have a BOGO coupon. Living on a tight budget is worth it so I can stay home with our children.
This is exactly the same reason I write paper checks. Writing the checks allows me to examine my bills and notice any errors on a monthly basis whereas my electronic debit friends barely even glance at their accounts anymore due to the convenience of having their payments "automatically withdrawn."
I have also noticed certain discrepancies on certain bills that I may not have noticed online AFTER the companies had already withdrew their payment if I had electronic payment. Not the greatest of fun I would like to have when having to call up your bill companies and fight to GET your money back. I would rather PREVENT them from the error before they take their payment by reviewing the bill ahead of time, correcting the issue and then issuing payment.
I also like the USPS and no, electronic payment will not wipe them out of business because you choose not to buy a stamp. Funds from certain stamps (Wildlife/Special Issue) are allocated to some other resource (i.e., Parks/ Natural Resources/ Habitat) of which I am certain most people do partake in and/or enjoy.
I just wrote a paper check that I'm going to snail mail tomorrow. I can pay this bill online, but the website is hard to navigate + they charge an additional $2.95 "service fee" for paying online.
more with less for me is about using coupons and trying to get the best deal. I always ask myself..Do I really need this?? And If so can I wait until it goes on sale. I have saved so much using coupons which has helped me to have extra money to get other things that I need
I have a check book (with duplicates) for all three of my bank accounts. Yes, I am eleventy years old.
I like writing checks because it helps keep me on budget. It's much easier to overspend with a debit card than it is if you have to write out the whooooole number on the face of the check.
Also, at tax time, I like having the additional paper trail.
Instead of birthday presents for my son we ask for donations to a charity he picks. Last year he chose a local children's shelter. This helps the shelter and also teaches him and his friends to help others.
I tend to speed very little. Whenever someone catches up to me on a single lane road, as long as they aren't aggressive, I pull off to the side as soon as reasonably possible to let them pass. I agree with Greg; not getting out of the way is aggressive.
This is an amazing prize pack.
I do more with less by being satisfied with relatively simple things. I night at the bar or the club is nothing compared to hiking through the woods, or entertaining company at home.
I was down to writing no checks per month, but now that my landlord is in the same building, I walk that one down the hall rather than setting up an automated check that he gets mailed- it just seems lazy to do otherwise.
I am also the treasurer of my union, and for that I do business 100% by check. I probably write 15 checks a week. I don't want to change the system because the guy that balances the books is older, and I don't want to make things more complicated for him. It also makes it easy for anyone to see everything I've done, since I'm not the only person with authorization to deal with our finances.
It's sad that our world is becoming a place where you do need a cell phone though. It's become social suicide if you don't have one by age 9 now, all plans are made by text messaging.
Blame the parents who get their kids cell phones.
I do more with less by combining my errands into one drive and trip so I save gas. An example would be going to the store, post office and barbershop in one trip, rather than going at different times of the week. This way, I can do more with the money I have because of the less money I have to spend on gas! The phone looks awesome on the commercials, hope I win!
I'm still writing checks because 1) it makes me examine my bills more closely (I caught my cell company adding extras that I don't think I would have noticed if I had looked online, plus they would have already made the deduction from my account; instead, I demanded a new bill) and 2) I am hoping to keep the US Postal Service in business.

I do more with less by shopping wiser. Shopping discount chains and the like save me more money.

I do more with less by cooking from scratch as much as I can. It's much less expensive than processed foods and it's healthier too!

Thanks to Roomba, I'm doing more cleaning with MUCH less effort!

To be eco-friendlier and save on the electricity bill, I change my light bulbs to compact fluorescent or LED bulbs.

I donate to Goodwill and get rid of clutter in the house. I also use coupons to save money and get some great deals. Less is more.

There is by far no shortage of used cars....
