Well, no, really, crafts.   Three quick experiments:
1. As C. Virtue has said, you don't need shaving cream.  Nope.  Don't even miss it.  Been a year.
2. Wireless Game converters are useful wireless internet pirate devices. Thanks K. Schmidt!
3. It really works to have a light shade and a dark curtain on your windows.   If it's warm, leave the shade down and the curtain open.  If it's cold, leave the shade up and the curtain closed, and it will warm the room.  If it's night, both closed for insulation.  From the AEZ list.

Simple things.

Oh, and:
4. Trader Joe's + Farmer's Market makes for good easy food.  In this case, 17 bean soup with ham hocks and mushrooms, with spices and onions out of the garden.  Soup mix 1.69, ham hocks $6 (2 lbs at $3/lb, lotsa pork, roasted it with garlic) and shiitake mushrooms $3/lb (again with the $3).   Simmering on the stove now.

When I was clean-shaven, I'd shave in the shower. Wet skin is better for shaving, and if I felt a particular need to have something more than water, I'd just use a few shampoo-suds.

Saving bucks!

I don't need to buy Woolite for my wool sweaters either. Moisture shampoo works just fine, and I have that already.

Have you read "The Accidental Tourist"? He washes his clothes by walking on them while he showers.

I realized this weekend that a lot of my problems could be solved by having better nutrition. I think farmers' markets will be in my future.
