It's hard to be green and frugal when you're stuck in the house on account of 18+ inches of snow! The Northeast was slammed with a blizzard this week. My compost bucket is overflowing and my recycling is piling up! But I was able to get a nice frugal workout in -- shoveling lots of snow!Cabin fever is beginning to set in. Its hard not to do some online shopping. So what's a green and frugal girl to do? Here's some free things to do when you're stuck in the house:
- Play in the snow...shovel the snow...build a snowman
- Clean the house (okay, not exactly fun, but it's something constructive)
- Organize and declutter (I'm already putting together items for Ebay and Craigslist)
- Pay bills
- Do laundry
- Play with the kids (I'm addicted to Wii House Party thanks to Santa)
- Begin putting away the holiday decorations (I haven't been able to bring myself to do this yet since I like to leave up the decorations until January 1st.)
- Read a book or magazine
- Workout to a DVD
- Do absolutely nothing -- and enjoy every minute!
What do you like to do when you're stuck in the house? I can always use some more ideas!
