Since becoming a widow, life has been very interesting.  I try to recycle everything.  No, I'm not a nut who goes hog-wild.  But, there are many things I do.  One instance, I love the candles people give me.  I wait until they have melted wax in there, dump out the wax, let it harden, break it in pieces and use that as fire starters.  Since I have a big wood furnace, this has come in very handy.  Old broken crayons do the same thing.

My shopping has gone down to groceries.  I shop only from the Roundy's sale flyer.  I stock up on things I need when it's 10/$10.

I have a re-sale shop just a bit down the street from me.  It has great clothing.  A couple years ago, I bought blue jeans - practically new - for $8 each.  I'm still wearing them and they're in perfect condition.
