A few weeks ago I ran out of plastic zip top bags.  I am so cheap that I won’t buy them unless I have a coupon.  Things have been so busy that I haven’t been couponing as much as I like, so I have been without plastic zip top bags for almost a month now!

At first it felt strange not having the bags around the house, but after a while I started to wonder why I ever felt the urge to buy them in the first place.  They aren’t meant to be reusable (doesn’t mean I haven’t done it), they can’t be recycled and they cost a good bit.

Since then I have been using my Pyrex glass containers.

I have been using them for everything:  frozen fruit, veggies, even taco shells in my pantry.

I think this is a revolution.  No more bags for me!  Not only does this save me money, but I feel like I am being environmentally friendly too.
