I use them to bring my lunch to work. They take up less space in the fridge, and it’s easier to seperate different items. I also use them to store foods, like sunflower seeds. I do prefer storage containers though, they’re easier to wash and dry.

I do wash and reuse plastic bags. I hang them on the closeline inside by my dryer (it is short.) My moms thinks I am crazy.

I also am an all cloth house, but my mom hates it when she comes over, so she buys me paper towels, toilet paper, napkins, etc. It is sort of our private joke now.

I couldn’t have preached it any better. It seems like a small almost useless thing, but it can really pay off (even though I scored a bunch of boxes for 20 cents last week).

Anything that had something dry in it, like nuts or crackers or sandwiches, I just throw in the freezer til I need them. I have one space on the door for them.

Anything wet, I’ll wash out first, dry, and stick back in the drawer. Mostly I reuse them for the same thing I used them for in the first place.

I also use a lot of tupperware – found at garage sales – and those are my usual fare for lunches. The ziplocks are more for produce freezing in the freezer, from the garden stuff, so all the air can be squished out, or for one way trips – like the grandkids’ snacks-to-go.

Any plastic bag or waxed bag is saved by me :)

I reuse all kinds of bags. The plastic open ended ones that come on bread and things I like to reuse for taking sandwiches or other dry items in my lunch – reusing the twist tie too. Like Liana, I try to use reusable containers, but I do like bags for certain things.

I re-use bags to pick up dog poops. No problem throwing them away after that!

I’ve washed out freezer bags for several years. I don’t wash out the thinner sandwich bags. I’d never thought of using the waxed paper from cereal bags – that’s a good idea! Saves money and less waste to put in landfills.
Blessings!
