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.

Chances are that at least some of the time you bring your own bagged lunch to work or to school. Sure, there are days when you go out for a nice meal with co-workers or pay for the school lunch on pizza day, but when I think back to my school days I fondly remember those brown paper bags. So, what does your lunch look like?

Below is a list of things I (or hubby) have personally saved and reused. Plastic containers from sliced lunch meat are great for leftover vegetable or casserole servings. Shopping bags are reused as carry alls for gifts and travel needs. Decorated bags (such as those you put gifts in) are just reused for gift giving.

Glass or metal can last a lifetime should you wish to reuse either one and are better recycling material than plastic is.
