Suburban Homesteading – Frugal Living

We hardly think about the amount water (or other liquids) wasted each time we dump a glass of ice, a partial glass of tea, or a pot of water from cooking and canning. Even emptying the glasses from the dinner table will surprise you. To save this precious resource, keep a pitcher near the kitchen sink as a collection pot for all that liquid, then use it on potted plants. Careful, though, hot water should be cooled completely before using on plants.

You’ll be amazed at how much you collect on a daily basis.
