I always turn over dish soap, laundry soap, shampoo etc. Used to drive my husband crazy until he saw how much I got out. Then I add water for hand wash.
Those bottle are super clean when I get done.
Zip bags depends on what was in it.
The clear box salad make for holding art supplies and even picnic lunches and hike snacks.
Paper towel tubes hold veggie bags in the drawer with the foil. When I'm prepping I line a bowl and and all the dinner scrapes get tied up. Unfortunately I have no place to compost.
tubes are also covered in contact paper and used to hold extension cords. I write the length on the tube and they lay in the drawer.
Coupons for me are hard to come by. I only buy organic veggies, grass fed meats, dairy and fish.
I have my few vices but never buy store bought cookies, cakes, pies. I make those.
While cooking I always make extra to freeze on lazy nights.
Tonight I am making lasagna roll ups. I make them this way because it give me 18 roll ups. Usually one or two with salad and bread is a meal. We will eat 4 tonight. I'll freeze 7 meals. I'll even have enough sauce to freeze two or three quarts for chicken parm etc.
I made banana bread yesterday during the icky rain. I chose to make 3 mini loaves. Dh is already snoopin in the freezer. He can grab one out the door for work and have s coffee break for two days.
Sorry for the long post. I am the most frugal person. Just not a hoarder. That freaks me out. Things have to have a useful purpose and in use.
