If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably got dozens of plastic grocery bags stashed somewhere in your house. Since it seems to be such a shame to just throw them away, it’s a good idea to look for new ways to reuse your plastic bags. Not only is it better for the environment; finding new uses for plastic bags is a great way to live frugally. The following are just a few of the best ways to put your old plastic bags to use.
Top Reasons to Save
For many people, living a frugal lifestyle is a necessity. When money is short, making the most of what you have becomes paramount. Even if you’re not strapped for cash, becoming a frugal shopper can help you recognize your priorities, set goals, and get the things you really want out of life. If you’ve ever found yourself wishing you could have something that’s just outside your reach, becoming a thrifty shopper can help you save the money so you can actually afford the things your truly desire.
Still not convinced? The following are just a few of the top reasons to stop spending frivolously and start living within your means.
To save money on all types of produce, I’ve been purchasing a basket from Bountiful Baskets every few weeks for the past few months.
What is Bountiful Baskets?
They are a buying cooperative that uses the power of bulk purchasing to buy and distribute produce to help you get more produce for your dollar.
How do I use Bountiful Baskets?
What you’ll get is lots of fruits & vegatables for $16.50,(your 1st purchase will include an additional $3.00 basket fee) which is all in all, an unbeatable price. Just be sure to plan in advance by having storage room and bags for the produce you’ll be bringing home.
You’ll need to purchase your basket online 4 days before pickup and be sure to remember to show up for the pickup time or the food will be donated.
Sometimes you’ll end up with something that you don’t need or like but you can always give it to someone else that likes it or can put it to good use.
Overall, I have found Bountiful Baskets can save you money and allow you to provide more nutritious foods for your family.
