Cat Food Dishes and More
I told Michael I wouldn't spend any more money this month on "green" things except maybe small things, like when I run out of toothpaste, etc. However, if I go to the pet store later this month (which I might have to, for cat litter) I will probably buy 3 small bowls for the wet cat food. The only reason I haven't so far is that often they don't finish the wet food and I would be really disgusted to clean out their bowls. I hate wet cat food. Michael has been suggesting I buy wet cat food dishes for years (I used to use one). So I might end up buying those.
I also read in a natural living post about replacing (most) paper towels with regular dish-like towels and replacing paper napkins with cloth napkins. Or replacing Kleenex with handkerchiefs. I'm not sure of the prices for that stuff, but I will consider it maybe next month. I have a ton of unopened paper towels (which I also use as napkins), so I could wait awhile. I also have an unopened box of Kleenex. I'd like my next purchases to be closer to when I'm actually running out of my "normal" products. The cleaning products I bought when hypomanic aren't things I really need yet, aside from the dish detergent. And there are many easy ways to make all-purpose cleaners, so after I run out of all that stuff I will just make my own all-purpose cleaner.
In the future I will run out of things at different times, so it should be a lot cheaper to replace things one at a time. I wish I could find a good cat litter, but like I said, the really good ones naturally/good for the cats make my whole house smell bad. I hope to find a better litter, but it may take awhile.
