When a magazine like Kiplinger’s features coupon clippers and reduced price deals on its cover, the urge to retrench has reached it zenith. If 7 years ago the best addition to your social network was a hedge fund broker, today it’s a cut price handyman or contractor with flexibility on what he’ll do and what he’ll do it with.

Today shoppers of every stripe hustle online to www.dodtracker.com, www.retailmenot.com, or www.couponmom.com to get the lowest prices on purchases they’d make anyway. Dodtracker.com monitors those deal of the day offers you always find one day behind. Retail me not.com warehouses coupon codes and checkout deals that make the buck stretch farther. And Couponmom.com is a site that needs no explanation.

A lot of good information has been produced in the quest for methods and practices for re-using recycled junk sustainably. Just in case you missed some earlier Recycledjunk.com classics, here is a brief rundown of some favorites. Here is a quick summary of some past articles of possible interest on this blog for those new to RecycledJunk.com.

Recycling:

10 ways you can recycle TODAY was the big hit, a veritable boot camp for recyclers in need of shock treatment to get on the bandwagon.

Re-Use:

The Recycling Clampdown put the mettle to the settle and got the householders giving away energy and resources on notice. A popular article was Green DIY Super Tips. And some clever woman out there is planning on making a bundle this Christmas the green way by making  jewelry  from her used and curbside throwawy trawl haul.

Green Energy:

Shopping local and shopping fresh transformed the idea of niche local farmer’s markets with trendy products to an actual value add for the planet.

Sustainability:

In the four months since my contributions to Recycledjunk.com started, the feasibility of off-grid living has become palpable. I asked readers : “Could you take your home off the grid?” The article on not using cleaners and consuming papers and magazines and circulars as placements and trivets was a resounding hit. Green Mcguyver!
