Recycling is great for the environment and we should all be doing it (in spite of my title), but reusing is even better. When you can reuse or re-purpose an item, you are not only saving it from the landfills, but you are also saving the expense and energy which would have been expended when you recycle. Plastic trash bags.

Did you know that you can also save money by reusing old items that you would normally throw away? 1) Leftover cookies make excellent pie crusts for cream pies. When you have a few cookies leftover, put them in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin. 6) You can reuse pickle juice.

In recent years there has been an increase in the number of individually packed cakes, cookies, pies, and other snacks being sold. They may be great for portion control but they provide a whole lot more leftover trash than big bags. For example, a single pack of cookies leaves you with just one bag to get rid of after eating.
