Things I used to use, but now use. . .

Tupperware, but now glass Pyrex or others

Electric kettle, but now water boiler

Broom, now stick vacuum

Toothbrush, now electric tooth brush

Razor, now epilator

Address book, now computer contacts

Dish cloths, now brush, disposable cloth or dishwasher

 

How about you?  It's amazing what has gone by the wayside for us this century!

My apartment has one of those instant hot water taps so I donated my electric kettle.

 

I am switching back to bar soap so I am not using the plastic bottles of body wash.  It will be less expensive, too.

Only a couple stand out in my head...

 

From oven to air fryer

 

Drip & instant coffee to k-cups and bagged coffee we use with the reusable k-cups

Even to watch tv shows?  The iPad is glued to my hand but I like the larger screen for shows and movies.

Bar soap, for sure !

 

I'll be back later with more thoughts.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

I cant remember the last time I used my laptop. I use my phone.

Streaming, no cable, no DVDs

Amazon music, no CDs

No print newspaper, rarely TV news, mostly online versions

@bikerbabe Funny!  We are far apart because I never use or know where my phone is; use cable and hate streaming; Apple Music; but like you, we haven't gotten a newspaper is a million years either!

Re: Things I used to use, but now use. . .

Just a week or two or so ago, I looked into receiving the Sunday newspaper.

 

Very expensive, imo. 

 

Unless they have some sort of 'special' for three months.  Problem is, the day that special expires, the price goes 'way up' again.

 

So, I depend on others to relay various interesting news articles to me.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).
