According the an article at bpa.gov, you can reduce your water and heating costs by as much as 50% by switching to a lo-flow showerhead designed to deliver fewer gallons of water with the same pressure as a traditional showerhead. A family of three can easily take over 1000 showers a year, thats a little less than one shower a day for each person. Assuming each person only took a ten minute shower using a traditional 4 gallon per minute showhead, that family would use almost 40,000 gallons of water a year on showers alone. If you switched to a 1.4 Gallon a minute low-flow design showerhead, you would be cutting your hot water usage by a staggerng 65%. Not only are you conserving a valuable resource, but if this water was heated with a standard efficiency electric water heater, your annual savings would be almost $200.
Do you buy packages of sliced lunch meat? If you do, you would be suprised what you are really paying for. Next time you are at the grocery store take a look at the price per pound on a small cooked ham and then look at the price per pound on a package of sliced ham. More often than not you would pay at least twice as much per pound on the sliced, packaged ham. So your paying a 100% markup for someone else to slice your meat and put it in a nice little package. Not only can you save money slicing your own meat, but it's more healthy because packaged meat is loaded with chemicals and can sit on store shelves for weeks. All around you can't go wrong slicing your own meat, and once you start I dont think you'll look back.
