• When packing up meat to put in the freezer, put smaller portions in cheap plastic bags. Then put those bags inside a larger freezer bag. That way you only throw away the cheaper bags and can reuse the more expensive freezer bag!
• Small bags are great for storing halves of peppers, onions, tomatoes etc.
• Put recipe cards in a clear plastic bag while you cook to keep them from getting messy.
• Put potentially smelly food scraps in a plastic bag in the freezer. When trash day rolls around, throw out the bag.
• Put store bought buns, cookies, bread etc. in a zipper plastic bag to keep them fresh longer. You can reuse the same bag over and over again!
• Keep hands clean while greasing baking pans! Place a plastic bag over your hand and scoop some butter from the tub.
