This first blog is dedicated to those of you who, like me, have an embarrassingly large stash of used plastic grocery bags under the kitchen sink. Before stashing these bags away or dumping them in the trash, take a look at these simple, but thrifty repurposing tips....
1. Use these bags as trashcan liners for small trashcans in bedrooms, bathrooms, or outdoors. You will save money purchasing small liners and also preserve your existing trashcans.
2. Use these bags as disposable lunch sacks. This will prevent toting a lunch box to and from work (trust me, no one is impressed with your lunchbox and matching thermos anymore).
3. Use these bags for small tasks, such as cleaning out the car or desk drawers. This way, you won't waste a large trash bag on a small task.
Fun tip: For those of you who have purchased reusable grocery bags, think about doubling those as lake or beach totes. Publix and Target have especially cute earth bags.
Savings:
Small trash liners: $4 +
New trash can: $7 +
Lunch box: $10+
New beach tote: ?
