Join Survey Savvy - take surveys - get paid.
Survey Savvy is a legitimate survey site. Its not an offer site or a trial site. Saturday I took a screener survey and was chosen to participate in a survey that pays $60.00. For five days, I have to fill out a "Breakfast Diary" and at the end, the sponsor of the survey is supposed to pay me $60. Not bad. There are some other survey invites in my inbox that I am going to check out right now.
Obviously, you are not going to qualify for every survey, but the screener surveys are brief - you don't have to spend 25 minutes filling it out only to be told you didn't qualify as on some sites (I'm talking to you OTX).

Green - $5 off Brita system
Click here* for a $5 off printable coupon for a Brita system.
Brita pitchers and filters are on sale at Rite Aid this week (6/14/09 to 6/20/09) for $14.99. So, if you have been thinking about trying to break that disposable water bottle habit but still have nice fresh cold water in your fridge, this might be a good way to get started.
A water filter can provide savings in both time and money. You will save the time and expense of purchasing bottled water, whether buying in bulk, on sale in the gocery store or on the run at a huge markup. And, of course, there is the added bonus for our environment. Do I even need to mention the benefits to all of us in having less plastic bottles floating around?
*If that link doesn't for any reason, you can go to the website directly and register to get the coupon for the system. If you register, you can also print out a $1.00 off filters coupon. Don't forget to use your browser's back button to print each coupon twice.

Green Tip - Vinegar Fabric Softener
You may have heard that white vinegar can be used as fabric softener in the washing machine. I thought I would check it out and report on the results.
It works!
Vinegar is cheaper than commercial fabric softener; the clothes do not take on the smell of the vinegar; and vinegar can put less chemicals into the ecosystem.
As an added bonus, I left one load of clothes in the washer for two days and even though it was warm out, the clothes did not get the musty smell they get with commercial fabric softener.
Unfortunately, the clothes were staticky when they came out of the dryer, so I still have to use my one quarter dryer sheet for drying. There are green alternatives to those, which I will try the next time I find one that is reasonably efficient and cost effective.

Save - Cutting your own hair
I cut my own hair this weekend. You can probably guess how it went just by reading my new do's and don'ts listed below.
Anyway, my hair is short and I didn't pay to get it cut! Yay me!
- Don't cut your own hair on a whim.
- Do have at least one mirror on hand.
- Don't cut your hair while it's in a ponytail.
- Do cut your hair outside. (This is the only tip I actually followed.)
- Do have a backup friend who can even it out for you.
Anyway, my hair is short and I didn't pay to get it cut! Yay me!
