Ok. I must admit that I was mislead by the title.
I thought it was going to be about sex.
On topic, try the book, 'The Tightwad Gazette'. Lots of great ideas in there.

Turn your underwear front to back on day 2 and the next day inside out followed by another front to back the day after that.
Or go commando and save the mental anguish of remembering the process.
Saves detergent and water.
Peace
Many frozen dinners have a plastic dish that can be microwaved a few times. Good for steaming vegetables and meat quickly without doing dishes for a few meals in a row.

I would ditch your microwave and invest in a good toaster over. Plastic is not a good thing to cook anything in. With that said, we all have been a victim of circumstance.
I'm lucky my mother got me into organic produce and glassware at a young age. I'd still be doing the "blue box blues" if it wasn't for her.

I feel for you missing the outdoors, I have lived in several towns and cities throughout my life but my spirit only finds real peace in the woods and in the fields and I don't think I'd remain sane if I were urbanised again.
A little old country mouse is me!
So as not to drift off topic and derail your thread with my posts:
Leftover milk that may not last much longer can be heated gently in a large wide bottomed pan, add a wee pinch of salt and a clove of minced garlic (Optional) to taste.
as the milk heats -do not boil- add the juice of a lemon and stir slowly until it starts to curdle and seperate into clumps of solids. use a slotted spoon to retrieve the solids and place them in a piece of clean muslin (a clean net curtain works fine) gently squeeze and tie the cloth into a bundle and suspend over a draining area and allow gravity to pull draw the liquid out. leave overnight in a cool place or until no more liquid is dripping out. Carefully mould/roll the solid mass into a cylinder shape(s) and roll them in some freshly finely chopped chives. refrigerate overnight and next day you have some delicious soft farmhouse cheese that is delicious on freshly baked bread and will keep for several days (unlike the milk)
It sounds like a lot of work but it isn't really and produces a lovely rustic farmhouse garlic and chive soft cheese with the extra factor of being home made which adds to the deliciousness.
Cheap and tasty!

I only buy select-a-size paper towels and then rip the smallest size in half again.
