Ways to Save: Eco Font

by Stacy on February 19, 2009

According to SPRANQ creative communications (Utrecht, The Netherlands), your printer’s ink cartridges (or ink toner) could be lasting you longer. To prove their theory, SPRANQ developed their brainchild, the Ecofont.

The premise is simple really, they ran extensive tests to determine how much of a letter could be removed while still allowing it to be readable, the result ~ the super stylish EcoFont.

Why We Love It: You actually use less ink when printing, 20% less ink, in fact. You’re not only saving money, but you’re also conserving resources.

Free to download, free to use.

Ways To Save …. Calories

by Stacy on July 27, 2008

I don’t know about you, but I am always looking for ways to cut a few corners when it comes to calories. Today’s calorie saver… The Cranberry Spritzer. I have been trying to eliminate soda from my diet over the last month. For the most part, this is not really that hard. Still, when I get home from work, one of my guilty pleasures is to pop open an ice cold Cherry Pepsi. It’s been a little difficult for me to give this up until I started making myself Cranberry Spritzers instead.

8 oz. Light Cranberry Juice (40 calories)
5-6 oz. Club Soda or other carbonated water
Splash of Lime Juice

This concoction is so refreshing I hardly even miss my Cherry Pepsi. And for just a fraction of the calories, I can drink as much as I want and my waist line will still thank me in the morning.

Ways to Save While Going Green – #1

by Stacy on July 27, 2008

Do you currently use a liquid additive in your dishwasher to help clean glass, cut grease, or prevent spots? If you do, STOP wasting your money now. Those additives cost $2-5 a pop and are doing the same things you can get by simply adding an ounce of distilled white vinegar instead. Start adding 1 oz. of vinegar to your dishwasher’s liquid compartment today and you will immediately see the difference. Squeaky clean glasses, no more greasy residue, not to mention the fact that you’re saving a few bucks and helping the environment. Go on, try it. You’ll be glad you did.
