Our Menards store (sort of like a a Lowe's or Home Depot) was giving away "Forever Bags" the other day. I got a box of 16 of them, and decided to try them out. They are yellow, but remind of something I saw advertised quite some time ago: Green Bags. The idea is that the bag material keeps...

I told my mother to remind me to run to Sears to get some more vacuum cleaner bags as we were all out and she said (Depression Era mama) that what she did when she was in a pinch was to cut off the bottom, empty it and reseal it with duct tape. I tried this (as the bags I buy are cloth & not...

I've been contemplating giving fabric bread bags and/or sandwich wrappers a try for a while now. I did some further research tonight and found a couple patterns I liked, so I got those ready. I thought I'd ask if anyone has used these and how they've worked out before I jumped in with both...

I am about to give up the paper route I have. (will probably regret it later, but the 3 am wake up is killing me) And I have a box FULL of the plastic bags the papers go in. Not the smaller skinnier daily bags, but the 9" wide sunday bags and I am trying to find a use for them so they don't go...

If you like using reusable bags but really stink at making them (like I do) Dollar General has them for CHEAP...only $1 for 2 bags. They are decent sized. Not as big as the (free) Earthbound ones but I was able to fit two full sized loaves of bread, two pkgs hot dog buns, and two pkgs english...

Mods, if there is a better place for this, please move... For a long time now, Safeway grocery store has given a .05 credit for each reusable bag you brought with you. So each trip we would save about a quarter by taking our own bags and not using paper or plastic - and at that, bag boy...

I have several store-brand reusable bags. While I love the idea and have gotten much use out of them, they don't seem to hold up like a canvas bag would. I now have several that have rips and tears right in the fabric. I'd really like ideas on how to recycle/repurpose those store brand...

or any type of zip enclosure bags. Seems we're always talking about reusing them, let's share ways we do other than for food (for example no piping icing, making meat loaf, kneading dough, shake n bake type stuff)). I thought of this as I was looking through the forums and saw a sensory craft...

Just curious, how many bags of garbage (what size) do you put out a week? DH and I are wondering if we're abnormal or typical. We're an empty nest couple and we put out one Superstore grocery bag of garbage a week. I thought it was more than that, but DH claims not. As he takes out the...

I am pretty good at recycling and I am a big believer in reduce, reuse, recycle. I came across this site recently and it made me more aware to look for the numbers 2 and 4 on plastic packaging. http://plasticbagrecycling.org/01.0/ Mary

The one that I go to is, as of April 22nd, not offering any more plastic bags. You either need to bring a reusable cloth bag, reusable heavy duty plastic bag (that they were selling for a while) or the bins that they sell for less than $5 a piece. We have three of the purple bins and a bunch of...

You will have to check and see if this is a nationwide thing or not but our store has red reusable cloth bags like the grocery stores sell for $1.50 and every time you bring it back and use it you get 10%off of your items (excluding furniture) They even took 10%off of everything on the initial...

My DH wants to know if anybody has tried these, and if so, how they worked. We're looking to expand our stockpile space and thought they might be a good idea for storing sweaters and winter linens. From the look of them in the ads, they really compress stuff.

My son turns 5 next Friday. We aren't having a B-Day party but he does go to pre-k. So I was thinking of him taking goodie bags to hand out next Thursday (he goes Tue-Wed-Thur afternoons). Suggestions? Pencils? Stickers? Erasers?
