Washing and Reusing our plastic baggies

Have you ever seen one of these? Costs $17.95. I don't own one, but it makes for a cool drying rack for your baggies. "Purchase a box of baggies, re-use each baggie 30 times and you have saved $100 and saved the landfill 1000 baggies." Buy one box, use it for a whole year! Just think if we would all do this.

Bet you didn't know the Schuring Family was this frugal, did ya? Yep, we save our baggies and wash them in batches using a big bowl, soap and water. This is how we air dry them, using our glasses. We do this to save money but also to not put them into the landfill. Since Troy and I pack our lunch every day, well, throwing away baggies would be alot of waste. Also, sometimes, just using them for a few crackers, doesn't warrent them to be considered dirty, old or unusable again.

Another example of how you can dry your baggies. We don't re-use the ones that we marinate meat in, but now I try to marinate my meat in glass containers so I can dishwash the bacteria away.

Well, I post this in hopes that I convert at least one more person! Thanks for reading.
