The Get Rich Slowly blog offers an introduction to homesteading and living a more frugal, simple and self-sufficient lifestyle. Some ways even urban dwellers can reduce and reuse include:
- Buy food stuff in bulk or on sale and preserve them by canning, freezing or drying.
- Container garden and create a neighborhood co-op, bartering different vegetables with one another.
- Buy fruits and vegetables from a "U-Pick" farm
- Making your own pasta, juices, vinegars, wine and dyes
- Make your own soap
- Making your own yogurt and cheeses
How are you living more simply these days?
