    Reducing single use items is key and I also found these great reusable package wraps instead of using plastic wrap for left overs.

    Now the days and nights are getting cooler and the heat is on I have programmed by thermostats. If you don't have programmable thermostats yet I encourage you to get some. They will help you save a ton of money and energy!
