I agree the new refrigerators are more energy efficient however they need to be replaced much much sooner than the older models. I have replaced two energy efficient ones to my dad's old one that is still running strong. At this point we would be better off with less energy efficient versus taking two to the dump. Plus, the last one had to have a mother board replaced which cost more than my dad's fridge. Same goes with for washer.

We had a deep freeze that was 64 years old and stayed with the house when we moved. Still working fine. We have since had to replace a "modern" deep freeze 3 times and lost a lot of contents the last time.

I had a "energy efficient " fancy washing machine that I hated. It's in storage now and I use one I bought used. It's a simple non computerized one that a repairman that was there to fix the 3rd gas burner igniter on my fancy gas stove told me should last for a long time. So far it's been 5 years with absolutely no problems. I will stick to my non fancy appliances. My deep freeze was made in 1998. They just don't make things the way they used to.

I bought in 2016 a recall washer an dryer. It took 3 men to mover each. I just burned up this April. The new washer is horrible quality and I can just rest my knee on it and it dents in. However, it does wash my clothes better.

I agree that our parents and grandparents knew how to use things over and over. I learned a lot from them. It has been helpful at times in my life.

I am stressed lately because I can't buy clothes for my kids. I just cut the ruffle mesh of my daughters dress to fit her better. My other daughter I gave her all my crop top since I don't wear them for years. Some brand new with tags, they fit her like regular t shirt. I just sewed holes in my children pants. I am trying 😅 I went to the food bank for a month supply of food. It's so neat I never been. They have a community gardens a mini store you pick specific amount from each shelf.

Unfortunately Crocheting and Knitting are no longer affordable the cost of yarn is too high now days. Anna In Ohio

@bvillebikelady3651 4 месяца назад

I keep an eye out in thrift stores for sweaters and afghans that can be disassembled. I skien it up as I unravel, wash in hot water, and hang to dry. High-quality yarn can be obtained through this method.

@thistlemoon1 3 месяца назад

No, the amount of yarn you get for the money is still reasonable especially if you check out what those things you can make are selling for compared to what you're spending. My problem nowadays is the quality of the yarn you get even if it's expensive it's still crap.

@karenzilverberg4699 Месяц назад

As you say, every suggestion isn't what one wants to do. For me, knitting and crochet are very satisfying. For example, I can make slippers that are far more comfortable and fit better than store-bought.

Bleach is cheap. bleach water drop of dish soap. I don't like my house smelling like vinegar. Make sure you know exactly what you're doing.When foraging wild foods there are many dangerous look alikes out there!

@TL71913 4 месяца назад

I agree about the bleach. It's what my momma and my nanny used. I trust that things are clean and germ free when I use bleach. I actually like the smell.

@scapwell 4 месяца назад

Use what you must, but please bear in mind that bleach fumes are extremely toxic and will affect your health when you're older. My mother died from COPD brought on from a lifetime of using bleach as a household cleanser. There are safe alternatives to both bleach and vinegar that don't smell like anything and still disinfect surfaces (citric acid, preferably if you live in a humid climate. Won't work in Arizona. Counters dry too quickly. Hydrogen peroxide. 70% alcohol solutions not only cuts oil, also kills pathogens on contact.)

Save the cotton from the top of medicine to reuse or repurpose.

@daniellecomeau2996 3 месяца назад

I save this and bits of string and yarn, then put it out on the bushes for birds to use for their nest building.

@catedennis8241 3 месяца назад

BOO on the minimalism!! Also, new stoves wear out fast nowadays. May as well buy a good name brand in the cheapest model as it will wear out in 3-4 years if used daily.

@polskigirl8547 4 месяца назад

Stick with older style washers and dryers……the new one are computerized and everyone I know has an issue within 2 years of purchase… I have an older Maytag set….havent had a visit from Jesse White…😅

@SavingSavers 3 месяца назад

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. And yes, I agree with you, animals don't have to be last in line. I actually added a tip on how you can make your own dog treats here -> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TXCyUVLc2qg.htmlsi=L1h2nR-TCZsqYg0B Hope this helps!

@Livinghistorypavielle 4 месяца назад

Teach yourself to knit and crochet. This will allow you to make items that you may not have. Dollar tree is a great place to buy yarn and thrift stores. Yarn is definitely more expensive than what it once was, however learning the skill will help you use other things material to make crocheted or knitted items like old tshirts cut into thin strips ...connect all pieces long way and knit it into something creative. Blessings to all!

@karenzilverberg4699 Месяц назад

Yes. It is also satisfying to make something useful. You can also make an item that fits perfectly.
