I have a neighbor/friend who delivers the weekly sales flyers, she gives me all the extra bags with the flyers and coupons. The coupons I cut up and send to our coupon club. The bags I have started saving to try the Plarn thing again. She also delivers a weekly newsletter and has alot of those left over too, the newsletter is printed on newspaper, I save those for doggy papers and also to clean with . The plastic bags which are pink with black lettering I have started knotting together while I sit on the porch in the evenings, eventually it'll be big enough to make a plastic rug with for outside or the basement. Outside this winter when the dogs aren't on the porch as one of my dogs likes to eat plastic so not a good thing to have around her in the house. They don't go in the basement so it'll be nice for down there to sit all my plastic water jugs on top of.
Oh and RobertaD
We buy 2 half gallons of Orange Juice every week and I rinse those out and use for Koolaid, Water for drinking in the frig. and the extra's are now being used to store rain water and also I send some to my milk lady for putting goat milk in that she sells (not for drinking, for soap making). It's mind boggling to think of how much of that goes into the landfills every day.
Oh also I think Thursday? I cleaned out a dozen of my candle jars that I use to test scents in wax and will reuse those instead of buying new ones.
I am also puzzling on what to do with the tiny cans that tomato paste comes in. I make dh tomato juice out of those and we use 10 a week. Because of the sharp edges, I'm puzzled as to what to do with them but am thinking some sort of wire clampers or something should smooth those edges and possibly use them to store leftover wax in when I'm making candles or even use them to make candles in. I hate throwing them away.
