- Learn to be an anti-consumer, even with cleaning products. You can use simple ingredients such as baking soda, soap, and vinegar to make cheap, easy, and non-toxic cleaning products that work on everything from your bathroom to your kitchen. And, most of these homemade solutions are a lot easier to make than a sandwich. Beware of any products that might contain allergens for you, and conduct more research to make sure that certain combinations are safe.
- Clean up your indoor air. This is another health savings tip, because indoor air pollution can affect you physically. Learn about where that pollution comes from and how to treat it, including mold, natural gas, and pesticides that you can track into the house.
- Change heating and cooling filters when you pay your electricity bill. That action may sound pretty extreme, but for people with allergies it makes sense. And, if you want to save money it makes "cents" as well. Your heating and air units will act more efficiently, and you can save more money when you purchase the filters in bulk.
