The sock thing is great, and really adds nothing to a load of wash when you compare how many paper towels you could be using! It stinks that your family paychecks will be less, all of us are facing that, though, and it is the little things that keep us on track financially.

I use vinegar & water for cleaning up floors, mirrors, and countertops. Baking soda is just gritty enough to use for scrubbing if necessary on any messes, and for our smooth stovetop. I only maybe use toilet bowl cleaner once a month...the rest of the time, I sprinkle baking soda in and use that to scrub and freshen and it honestly works wonders! Microfiber cloths eliminate the need for paper towels, and if you cut up holey socks, they make awesome rags too, since there are always some laying around! Just cut them down the back to the toe, and you can stick them on a swiffer mop head, or just use them as a rag and if they get too yucky, just throw them away!
