This is a habit for me, I store up containers, boxes, jars what have you in short recycling, bring water wherever I go and cook my own lunch. Going green and saving more – now that’s a good part. Great post.

@Mrs. Accountability – Thanks for mentioning the glass jars. Mason jars are another great way to reuse containers. As for your lunch box, MoneyFunk has a simple pattern for making sandwich bags. I wonder if it would work for making a lunch box? I asked her about her pattern, I’ll follow up on this tip with her.

I've been using my lunch "box" for over two years and the poor thing is ripping apart at the seams, literally! The zipper is broken as well. I'm hoping to find a replacement soon. I like to use recycled small glass jars to bring leftovers for lunch. Thankfully we have a kitchen at work so I can keep my lunch cold until lunch and then warm it up. I keep a small pan and a ceramic bowl with real silverware at work, this works out great for me. .-= Mrs. Accountability´s last blog ..Blast from the Past – March 2008 =-.

@Money Funk – I love the idea of sewing your own sandwich bags! Do you have a pattern? I’m not much of a sewer, but I can patch and stitch a bit. I’d love to see the pattern.

I just bought me a nifty reusable bottle for my water/smoothies. Not only environmentally friendly, but healthy too. LOL. I also use reusable containers for my lunch. And have sewn some sandwich size bags with my old canvas bags. They make for great snack bags. A a cinch to sew.

@RainyDaySaver- I like your Fix-It Friday series! I think I got some of my inspiration from this. And I agree with you on the ziplock bags too, I don’t like them.

Yay for Tuesday Tips — love the alliteration, like my Fix-It Friday series!
I HATE ziplock bags. I use them sparingly, mainly for freezing meat in smaller portions. Everything else is in reusable containers.

@Arlene – Oh, you’re like me! I love Starbucks and am a daily visitor. That 10 cent discount really does add up!

This is what I do for my husband everyday with love. One of the ways you can save money is to buy big containers of water or jucie, these containers can last for a whole month. Thanks for the tip on starbucks, A store I visit everyday.. .-= Arlene´s last blog ..Building A Beautiful Life =-.

@SAHMCFO – Don’t worry about the toliet paper, I won’t be doing that anytime soon. I do like your idea of refilling the store bought bottles with tap water, that’s a great way to reuse plastic bottles. Thanks!
