More trash bill saving tips
- Rinse your milk jugs out really well cut the bottoms off and use them as little green houses for your seedlings. You just press them down into the soil so they are stable over the seedlings in your garden. The milk jug will keep rabbits and other rodents from eating them and they will help protect them against frost. You can also use cleaned milk jugs to make juice or kool-aide in.
- All those wonderful grocery bags you get from the store make perfect trash can liners for smaller trash cans. Not only will this save you trash wise this will save money from the grocery bill. I’ve also seen some people that make throw rugs out of them. Though I’ve never personally done this but I’m sure if you did a google search you could find directions to do it.
- Keep your toilet paper tubes for crafts and to store your pantyhose in. Keeping your pantyhose stuffed in a tube in the drawer will help prevent them from getting snagged or getting a run.
- Use your newspapers to clean your windows. Just spray your window cleaner on the window and use the newspapers instead of paper towels. Your windows will actually come out a lot cleaner and lint free. We also save our newspapers and junk mail for when we go camping to start the campfire.

There is a blogger who makes lots of things from recycled grocery bags. She uses some other things too. Her site is

She mostly crochets. I don't know how to crochet, so I haven't actually tried them, but they look very interesting!
