Since covid and the lack of toilet paper, I have gotten a routine to use less toilet paper. After a number one, I wipe with a wet cloth that I wash out afterwards and reuse during the day. This saves tons of paper.
I've used dry cloth wipes instead of toilet paper (for urine only) off and on for more than a decade. Last year I got serious and sewed flannel cloth wipes, and using those consistently dropped my toilet paper roll usage to one roll every 8-10 days. I have a small covered metal container in the bathroom to hold the used wipes, and I wash them weekly (hot wash / hot dry) and sanitize the container.

I'm still looking for new ways to save money in our new Covid-19 lifestyle.
I have plans to rescue/repair a leather dog leash with instructions I found on YouTube.
Since I have the time (and craft supplies), I'm going to make the necessary birthday and Father's Day cards for June.
I plan to give home-baked bread to a friend for her birthday (DH doesn't need a birthday gift).
With the library closed, I've challenged myself to read books from my bookcase.
With everyone home, we've reinstated family game night, playing games we already own, of course.
Not wanting to go to a laundromat, I used the hose with a good sprayer to clean a rug I would usually need a big machine for.
I've cooked 74 dinners in a row (and made sure we had breakfast and lunch options).
Our van (class B mini motorhome) and our car were last fueled 3/13 and 3/15 respectively, and both still have half a tank each (we're driving them to keep the batteries charged).
I bought gelatin to make those gel room/closet fresheners, since I tried one out and like it, but didn't want to pay $10 again for the naturally scented option.
I asked my dad if I can have the freezer he isn't planning to move across the country.
I'm saying yes to many things my dad is offering me, even if I don't have a place or need at the moment. So far he's offered me an antique mahogany dresser, a high quality cubby unit with baskets, and canning jars. He's also giving me his high end patio dining set (second wedding gift), because the chairs need new seat fabric and he doesn't want to hassle with it. He mentioned he was going to scrap the set, but I was pretty certain replacements could be ordered.
