    Default Frugal tip 10/21

    Save plastic milk containers, fill with water and freeze. Use in camper iceboxes or coolers. Also these can be used to freeze colored water or juices in for later use in a punch bowl.

    What great ideas. we go camping often and ice can be very expensive when you have to buy 6-7 bags per weekend.
