It is Actually Cheaper

I guess in the long run its more economical to buy one sports water bottle and refill it, then to buy bottled water all the time. I haven't really thought about saving money while going green. It seems like that doesn't happen very often. I think the extra money is worth every penny if it is going to preserve this world for our children.

Isn't is weird how often the more natural products, foods and go green are usually MORE..like organic foods, why are they more when pesticides aren't used, or anything that is all naturally made? To be honest though I've never noticed the difference in price for trash bags as I don't use them...what I use are the shopping bags from grocery stores. Since I'm trying to eliminate how much plastic usage I do, it seemed weird for me to spend any kind of money on plastic bags, when I can simply use the plastic shopping bags...but did you hear? don't know if they're doing it elsewhere but from now on supposedly stores are going to charge 5¢ per plastic bag used for bagging items....in my neck of the woods they're encouraging people to use those recyclable bags of which I have already

What is the product name and where did you purchase it from? I have seen alot of Green Products out their and some are a little more then the products I use but then others are way more then the cost of the products I use. I am willing to spend a few extra cents to help save the planet but can't really go to much since then in helping the planet I would also do harm to my own fiances which is in a tight rein.

I never buy the Kitchen bags, just use the plastic bags that I get when I buy stuff at the store. There is not that many of them, since I mainly use the black green reusable bags, and I used to use the biodegradable bags, but found that the latter only lasted a little while before deteriorating. I find the good plastic bags that you get at the hardware stores and at the department stores quite good and I did not have to pay for them.

I haven't bought alot of green products but have found that most of them are a little more expensive or close to the regular price...Maybe the prices are finally coming down on those speciality items. If they want people to recycle they should have the products at a reasonable price.

Well compact fluorescent bulbs are pretty cheap these days, although not as cheap as incandescents except when Lowes is giving them away for free. Of course many people are put off by them because they give off a harsh white light that we're not used to, and is very unflattering, but they represent significant energy savings and last for years.

I guess I should be more observant of these type of items when shopping, but I usually go to the dollar tree to buy most of my products at a $1 each for these type of products.

yah.. people never believe me when I tell them but I used to get organic vegetables delivered to my door. They are cheaper then regular ones especially when you factor in the fact that you arent' using a car or transportation. My garbage bags are free. We just use the ones we get from shopping.

I too have noticed that recycled items cost more.. right now with the economy and everything it is hard to think about paying more. It really is not fair either.. it is recycled your using some of the same materials I would think that if anything it would be cheaper.. maybe it is just me....

No, I haven't noticed them beig cheaper. I always see them being priced higher. I will check out the trash bags at my usual store now though.

I haven't noticed, but I'm sure going to look! I'd much rather by the biodegradable ones over the regular ones. Thanks so much for sharing this information. With watching every penny nowadays, I might not have thought to look.

Hi AmbiePam - No I have not found green to be cheaper. But I carry a cloth bag and try not to take plastic bags from shops. We do not get many green things where I live. Kepp green and happy mylotting

I have not encountered a case like that. It is really a mess how all the "green" things are more expensive. It is making it harder for everyone to go green because it is more expensive.

I do prefer to buy green products, but for me, they tear easier and my pets are more attracted to them by the smell so they tear it up. Although I am a great supporter of going green with building material, I work better with normal household products. I do safe money by rewashing plastic cups, however, and I find it more enviromently friendly.

Many Earth friendly products are from recycle and must be cheaper. Sometimes it is and very often is not. I also found some organic products at the same price or slightly cheaper.

That is wonderful. thanks for sharing your experience with all of us. I am sure this will be useful to alot of people.
