Prairie Eco-Thrifter

NOVEMBER 26, 2012

Last weekend my grown son was home for our autumn family picnic. Plastic containers from sliced lunch meat are great for leftover vegetable or casserole servings. I pulled out our Coleman water jug and his chin fell on the floor. That thing predates me!” he exclaimed (he was born in 1978).

I don’t freeze food in the used bags, but do use them for leftovers in the frig. If you want to get fancy, draw, paint or sew buttons on it for eyes. My recurring problem, of course, is that the cookie tins seldom come home to be refilled. My Mother-in-law always washed hers out and dried them and then used them again.

The Frugal Girl

FEBRUARY 5, 2024

Most of my evenings/weekends are just hanging out (largely at home and in the yard with my family). Sewing holes in clothes, using up leftovers before they go bad, finding free activities for my little on the weekends, checking buy nothing or marketplace before purchasing- I am always just looking for ways to spend money.
