5 Habits of the Super Frugal You Should Copy (to save big)
Yes, you read that right. If you’re taking a shower, the amount of water used means a lot will be wasted.
To combat this (and even reduce your water bills), take a bucket with you into the shower to collect water which can be used for other purposes.
That extra bucket of water can be used for plants, washing dishes or cleaning a car.
If you’re on a water meter, it’ll mean less spent on your bill and less water wasted.
If you do decide to use this method, place a bucket at your feet either before or after you get soap and shampoo involved so the bucket is only filled with water.
The last thing you’d want is to kill your plants!
You can also put a bucket out in your yard to collect rainwater to do a similar thing (as long as you don’t live in the desert).

2. Ditch Your Cleaning Spray for Lemons
Most cleaning sprays you buy in the supermarket set you back $3 or more, but do you notice most of them are infused with lemon?
That’s because it’s high in citric acid, which is a natural cleaner.
On average, you can get a pound of lemons for just $2 (at least that’s the case in the U.K.).
Not only is it cheaper, but it cuts out the nasty chemicals that you find in regular household cleaners.
It’s worth noting that you should only clean with lemons on certain surfaces – not because it’ll damage it, but rather it won’t kill all bacteria.
I’ve found the microwave is one of the best places to clean with this citrus fruit.
To get stubborn stains out of the microwave, follow my method:
- Fill up a microwave safe bowl halfway with water
- Cut a lemon in half and squeeze all juice into the bowl
- Microwave the bowl on full power for 3 minutes
- Let it stand for 5 minutes, this allows the steam to attack the grime
- Wipe away all the loosened dirt and grime with a cloth
