Items every green household should have

When we go shopping we tend to buy the same or similar things. That is why the marketers change the shelf dispaly every now and then just to make us buy stuff we were not planning to get. So do you buy products you need or are you a victim of marketing?

If we are attempting for a green household, what items should we have?

1. White or distilled vinegar 

- a great disinfectant used for household cleaning and also as a natural softener
