Milk is usually around $1.70-$1.90 when I’m in Kentucky or Ohio.

I wash out ziploc bags, dry them, and reuse. I also reuse tinfoil. If I throw a piece of tinfoil over a cast iron to allow the steak to continue to cook 5 minutes, no use throwing out the tinfoil.

I had an ex buy like six bags of cereal to get one free gallon of milk. She didn't eat cereal


The worst is people that don't flush the toilet after pissing. It stinks up the bathroom, and only saves like $1/mo

I hang my paper towels out to dry after using them so they can be used more than once

I'm a 25 year old making $80k that lives at his parents house without paying rent.

My opinion of whether I'm smart or a scumbag fluctuates daily.

I'm slightly embarrassed to say that just this past week my cpap headgear came apart and I used electrical tape to put it back together...and I'm still using it. Also not the 1st time I've done that.

You don't have to wash them. Just grab by the tip and shake the frick out of them.


Or just flip it inside out, like you do with socks and underwear....get two uses before washing..

Anyone wash and reuse ziplock bags and foil paper?


When I was a kid my mom washed & reused plastic bags. And pretty much all our bowls were old butter bowls. We weren’t poor. She just grew up during the Great Depression so the idea of using something once then throwing it away was crazy to her.

Lot of the old people that went through the depression and WW2 with all the rationing were like that.Personally I think most people are way too wasteful today.
