How to save money on your bills

I thought I would post a second thread after this one to talk about saving money and also ways to save money and reduce your garbage due to the recent garbage strike in Toronto

I use refillable bottles for my laundry, dish etc soap that can be refilled at various locations within the city, cheaper and less garbage.

Any plastic bags I get from stores I use as garbage bags, one less garbage bag to be used.

And aside from the garbage savings for my slush fund I opened it up in a tax free account so that the interest that I earn on it is not taxable.
