Eco-thrifty is Rubbing Nickel’s nickname for something that is easy on the environment but also easy on your pocketbook. It is always nice when you can choose the “organic” or “all-natural” version of a product you use, but often, these products cost as much as three times the amount of a comparable product. We’ve done some research and are providing you with a list of health and beauty products that meet our criteria for Eco-thrifty which, in this case, is under $9. I found a number of them at Safeway so they are easy to find as well. We hope you choose to use them whenever you need products.
