ZipLoc and Other Plastic Bags

Who said Ziploc storage bags bags can only be used once?
They are made out of plastic after all and can be turned inside out, washed, dried and reused. Personally, I prefer the plain no-name brands offered by Target or Aldi.

Small plastic grocery bags can be used as in-liners for small trash cans. Larger plastic bags (e.g. from Target) suffice as trash bags for your regular kitchen trash. Remember to recycle, it keeps the actual amount of trash to a minimum. Most plastic containers can be recycled these days.

There's no need to pay for something that most stores are giving away for free.
