Tightwad Tip
Reuse Cereal Bags
Tightwad Tip Number One should be: don't buy cereal.
But, if you buy cereal, reuse the bags. They are heavy weight, thick plastic, and don't get holes poked in them very easily.
My favorite use for cereal bags is filling them with chicken backs for freezer storage. There are a lot of sharp boney edges on chicken backs. They inevitably poke holes in zip top bags.
To close the cereal bags use one of the twist ties that, of course, you save from every bread bag. (Wink)
That is my tip for the day!
And before I go, if you are a true Tightwad who doesn't buy cereal, you can always ask your neighbors and friends to save their cereal bags for you. I am not joking! I have a Tightwad friend who actually does this! (And she never buys zip top bags.)
It's great to re-use whatever we have access to. These cereal bags are good heavy duty plastic most of the time.
ReplyDeleteThis only works if the cereal bag doesn’t shred a million different directions as someone attempts to carefully open it. ;P
