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.
