I also freeze bread, in fact I try always to keep some milk and some bread in the freezer so I never run out. I also reuse cereal bags. I used to buy lots of plastic bags for sandwiches in lunchboxes, and for freezing food. And then I noticed that I threw out lots and lots of plastic bags - cereal bags, bread bags, bagged apples, bagged pasta, all sorts of bags. Why was I buying bags on the one hand, and throwing bags out on the other. Now I never buy bags. I store bags from other produce and reuse them. But I don't agree with using cereal boxes for magazines - I tried that and I find them too flimsy. I reuse some of the cardboard for crafts, but mostly I recycle it.

You can also cut apart the boxes and make templates for measuring quilting pieces or make stars, bells, etc., and cover them with foil for Christmas decorations. The lightweight pasteboard is useful for many crafts. Great ideas!
