My make your own kitty litter post is included in today’s Festival of Frugality at No Credit Needed, and Make it From Scratch over at Stop the Ride.
I carry a titanium backpacking spork around in my purse. I know that sounds kind of weird, but it saves me from using disposable utensils when I eat out, and it’s so light, I never even notice that I’m carrying it.
Before the Industrail Revolution it was common for guests to be expected to bring their own utensils with them when invited to dine, because utensils were expensive, labor intensive items, and most people didn’t own extra sets. Now, when it’s possible to buy a set of 1,000 plastic utensils for under $20, people don’t even think about bringing their own.
But think of the plastic waste that can be saved by slipping a fork from home in your purse on the way out the door. You don’t need anything fancy. Grab one from your kitchen drawer, or if you’re worried about loosing a piece of a set, pick up a few spare utensils the next time you hit a discount store, thrift shop, or yard sale. It’s simple a simple way to cut down waste, and it’s always nicer to eat with real utensils anyway.

Kitty litter is breaking me. I change it so often. Even though I scoop there is the urine to contend with that settles on the bottom. I change every other day and scoop in between.
I would like to begin gathering newspaper to try this method but seems like it i a lot of wok. I am in a Mobile Home with limmited space. One cat and four precious kittens. (lost two)
Instead of a collander a big planter with drains in it should do?? Also when it comes to squeezing…Wouldn’t it be faster and easier on the hands if it were placed between two big boards and stepped on. You know the Lucy style at the grape yard episode. lol Hey even put on a show for the neighbors with skirt and babushka and start stomping.
Do’t know but seems to me like there must be something electrical lol that we could purchase at a thrift store to squeeze this newspaper. Just sme thoughts.
