There are simple ways to cut down on waste, from buying concentrated household products to buying in bulk. Today, I am going to share with you 8 ways you can recycle, reduce, and reuse. Buy in bulk or in loose. When you have old batteries that are no longer good, recycle them through your local agency. Reuse what you can.

If you decide to buy in bulk as a way to save money, you can preserve some of that food for later. It’s possible to bring your own bags for bulk food items in a lot of cases. Turn old towels into bags that can be taken to the grocery store. Preserve Some of Your Food. Take Care of Your Things.

Recycled Can Cutlery Holder. Such a cute way to reuse toilet paper rolls (or even paper towel rolls if you have longer cords). A nice way to keep those bulk foods you buy (to save money of course!) I like the idea of transforming items that I usually throw away into something useful. Tissue Box Yarn Holders.
