Ziploc Bags...

Yep, you read that correctly. 
I am posting about Ziploc Bags..
Now probably 50% of you guys will think this is nonsense, but I'm sort of a recycling fanatic. And I've been trying to find new ways to save money.
I even save the recyclables that are worth money in a separate bag for the guy that digs through our recycling bin every tuesday night just so he doesn't have to dig.
Anyways back to the bags..
I have been trying recently not to spend money on the big ziploc bags, since you can reuse them several times and they are fine. It's not like I don't have enough dishes to wash since we are sans dishwasher in this house, but it's better for the environment and plus i'm saving like $3...wow I know..But hey that's a latte! I'd rather spend my money on something fun.
The next step in my eliminating ziploc bags from my life will be ordering some reusable baggies that a very talented friend makes...(her etsy doesn't have them at the moment but i'm sure most of you have seen them on her blog.)
I guess I have to pay some credit to my mother who always made us wash out the ziplocs and reuse them when we were kids. As much as we complained and tried to throw them away look what i'm doing now!
I cleaned out my freezer and fridge today and found 8 bags that could be reused! yes my fridge needed to be cleaned bad!







Am I crazy or does anyone else reuse these things?
What else do you guys reuse to save money?
