Frugal Friday


It's Frugal Friday over at http://www.lifeasmom.com/


If we are frugal, we probably all wash and resuse plastic baggies. 
Very simply, I wash and reuse straws that I buy and those from drinks we may get at fast food restaurants.  This cuts down considerably on how often I have to buy them.  (We simply prefer to drink from straws.)

  1. I have to admit, I do not wash and reuse baggies. I will wash and reuse a large ziploc if it held bread or something not too "germy" like a meat product. However, I always throw the fast-food straws into the dishwasher and we use those for a long time!

  2. The dishwasher! I never thought of doing that. My kids often prefer to drink from a straw. And smoothies are just better with straws. Oh I'm glad you posted this idea. I will be doing this for sure.

  3. I should have stipulated that I do NOT reuse baggies that held meat or blueberries/strawberries.

  4. I was everything and reuse it. Bought a pack of straws about 8 years ago and still have 90% of them. I'm not big on plastic.
