In terms of moving to SS, there are some things I don't miss a bit!
I make my own laundry soap, and have for 2 years now and will NEVER go back. I also don't use conventional cleaners anymore. Between vinegar, baking soda, peroxide, and occasionally a little cream of tartar, with a few other things thrown in, I don't need any other cleaners. We buy vinegar by the dozen bottles at BJ's which is awesome. I use it for everything. I haven't ever used "normal" fabric softener (vinegar again!), so that expense I don't have. I gave up shampoo and conditioner 2 years ago as well, and have never looked back! I haven't purchased standard body products in about the same length of time.
ETA: we also don't really use the dryer anymore. We are now paying our electric bill (long story) and that is one of the big burners of electricity, so out it went. I only have enough hanging space to dry one load at a time, and it has to sit in the living room, but if it saves $$$$ I am ok with that! The ONLY thing that gets dried is jeans and towels for a few minutes to help keep them from being so stiff!
Thinking about food I VERY VERY RARELY drink soda. One can't avoid a cap'n and coke once in a while. I just don't care to anymore. I don't need it, and I don't want it. I try to avoid eating processed foods as much as possible. I don't miss much of any of it, really. And I find when I do that I find that I really wish I hadn't.
And I'm totally ok with that.
That was a GOOD one
