    I have started to take my laundry to the laundry mat and use one of the larger machines to wash all my laundry at one time instead of several different loads.

    I've bought a electric scooter! I ride that around to places that are near instead of driving my car. I also would ride it to my brothers house who isn't too far away instead of driving my car.
