Being self-reliant helps save money & increase your confidence and skills. Here are the best posts from the challenge as a reference to our readers.

Not all tea bags are created equal and for those people who are trying to go plastic-free, it may be time to re-evaluate what's in your cup of tea. For years, I drank Lipton tea.
