I'm not saying, "Take that, Putin!," but I've started taking Navy showers myself to combat our water bill, which more than doubled at the start of 2022.
I've managed to bring the bill down to nearly 2020 levels, with no other changes required in our household.
For those who don't know what a Navy shower is-
Wet yourself completely, turn off the water, and soap up.
Turn water back on, and rinse off your face. Turn off water again and shampoo. (Optional step but I'm less likely to get soap in my eyes while shampooing if I do this.)
Turn on water again. Rinse off completely.
I also installed expensive high efficiency showerheads when I first moved in to our current home. They're intended for resort and spa use but only use 1.5 GPM. They are not adjustable but the pressure is perfect for me.

Here's a link to the one I bought. Of course, price has risen post Biden... https://www.bricor.com/products/the-resort/
I hear what you're saying, but part of the reason I started doing this is to harden myself up for tougher times.
Also, the extra $40-50 I'm saving every month by taking these is a quarter tank of gas. LOL
