Quick tip on re-using the plastic drink containers once they are empty: LOOK AT THE RECYCLE SYMBOL ON THE BOTTOM!!! It’s a triangle shape and has a number inside. If the number is 1, that means it’s ONLY INTENDED FOR ONE USE-and SHOULD NEVER BE RE-USED!!! The numbers 3&6 should NEVER be used for food-not even once!! The number 5 means there are no bpa’s and it is food safe and can be re-used indefinitely. Plastics contain carcinogenics, and as a rule are NEVER safe for food storage, microwaving or eating from them. But if you MUST use plastics, please use only the ones with the number 5 inside the recycle triangle!!! Aa a side note, plastic is ONE molecule away from the hormone estrogen!!! Do with that what you will… just please everyone, stay safe. Another side note-stirring foods such as batter or sauces or even eating cereal from a plastic bowl, where the spoon scrapes the sides of the bowl, puts micro-plastics into whatever you’re mixing or eating!! The human body has no organ that can filter or purge these micro-plastics from your body. They enter the bloodstream and can cause damage throughout your body!

[@henriettelinkshanderin1449]

Thank you! You are so right! Even if a plastic is safe for one kind of food like cereals, it doesn't mean it's safe for oils or acids. And it's not only the microplastic that can cause cancer or other evil stuff. The additives are as dangerous! Oils and acids can dissolve additives from the plastic.

[@debisettles4745]

I keep the tortilla bags with the zip lock seal to reuse. I will use them to put opened packages of frozen food in. It helps keep them fresh and closed. Clips don't seem to work as well in the freezer. Beats buying gallon size ziplock bags!

[@THEJENNIFERCOOK]

Great tip!

[@maryjocarrier5856]

Use silicone bags for freezer, they seal very tight and don't hold odors!!!

[@maryjocarrier5856]

Reusable silicone bags!!!

[@fburton8455]

I bought reusable bags. Love them.

[@lovechangesus]

I see all the people telling you to buy resealable bags. Lol... the point is... not to buy more stuff. Not to waste what you already have. I think this is a wonderful idea. I use my old bread bags to freeze homemade bread or to wrap messy recycling things to keep the can from smelling.

[@staciea7045]

I love wool dryer balls, but I find that on occasion they come apart. Instead, I use old socks that are worn out, missing their match, or have holes, typically two at a time, and roll them into a ball and seal them off. I put multiple balls into my dryer, and our clothes come out so fluffy and dry faster. I stopped using fabric softener sheets more than a year ago.

[@rebecca46107]

Hmmm. I have my wool balls using the same one for 2 years. Still holds.

[@peggyfanning9258]

I use the old fabric softener sheets as foundation fabric for my scrap quilting. They work great, smell good and do not have to be removed as in paper piecing. I've even scrounged through the trash can at a local laundromat to get enough to finish a project.

[@preparingformountainlife]

I use those hangers to hang out towels to dry after a bath. I also reuse bread bags, or any bag without holes, for the cat litter clean out. Great ideas!

[@THEJENNIFERCOOK]

That is a great idea for towels 🤗

[@BSS121259]

Bread bags are great for picking up my dog's poop in the yard, they are long enough to protect my hand.

[@lindawamsley5227]

I never throw away the wax paper bags in cereal. I store them folded in half. I use them to shake up coating on fish and chicken, etc. Also the seams pull apart easily and use to roll out cookie dough, pie dough, biscuits, etc. and clean up is simply wad up and toss! Also great for cooling cookies and breads on. I use it for many other ideas, just cut any size you need to cover breads while they rise. There's no end to the usefulness of these bags and if you prefer just wipe the inside with a dry cloth and store them all in a bag together!

[@THEJENNIFERCOOK]

Linda, these are such great ideas! Thank you for sharing them ❤️

[@angelabutler7761]

I agree. I love the bags cereal comes in and find all kinds of uses for them in the kitchen and in my crafting.

[@rosegerdes3935]

I use them in place of wax paper between cookies, or when I assemble quesidillas, or let snack mix dry...

[@sherabee]

I thought I was the only one who used them as freezer bags. But they are so thick, they work well. If you turn them inside out, you don't have to worry about crumbs getting in your food. I haven't tried sealing them becauseI don't have a sealer. I just roll it up and use tape or a clip on it.

[@yourboijohnny]

As an eBay seller, I love love love love your tip for using the plastic bread tie in #9 to help hold the tape in the dispenser in place!!!!!! THANK YOU!! you’re right when you say, even though the tape dispenser is supposed to hold the tape in place, it never does!

[@elaineoshea9828]

If labels leave residue or are hard to remove, coat them with a little peanut butter, let it sit for a few hours or overnight and it easily removes it

[@TimelordUK]

Just use oil, cooking oil, baby oil, olive oil

[@toughtimes6596]

It's probably the oil in the peanut butter that removes the labels 🤔💞

[@brendapfrommer1726]

Another good use for those clothing hangers is to use them to hang/organize my seasonal garden flags.

[@THEJENNIFERCOOK]

Great idea!

[@CarlaQuattlebaum]

@@THEJENNIFERCOOK I like the idea of using the regular hangers and adding clothespins. The smaller "kid" ones are just the right size.

[@tinabennett8524]

I really enjoy these helpful videos and the comments. it’s cold here in Ohio with snow now, and was thinking of when I was young and our mother would put socks on our feet, then bread bags, like a sock, and the rubber band(like elastic)at the top. Then our shoes or boots. This was to keep our socks and feet dry from the snow.It’s not fashionable 🙄But, it’s a tip for a tough situation. 😊She was raised in a large family, post WW2. There were a lot of make do experiences she relayed, and that we experienced in our childhood, based on her knowledge. The same was true with my husband’s grandmother and the wealth of knowledge she passed on to me. I appreciate people giving their advice on how to reuse and make do, we get from reading the comments, from all over the world!

[@THEJENNIFERCOOK]

Tina, thank you for sharing this memory 🤗

[@dfw6558]

We did the same thing growing up with bread bags on our feet The bread bags have blue and white checks on them so our socks would have the blue marks as well All the nostalgia 😊

[@Paula-tf3zv]

Oh god I remember those bags, boots and rubber bands! But I can't remember if my feet were still dry after I walked to school!

[@beckyshell4649]

My family never threw away bread bags. They were used as boot liners for snow days,bags for dirty clothe diapers,bags for a wet wash cloth for diaper changes before there were wipes and food storage . My Mom also kept ‘good boxes’ to use as storage .

[@dollyshroff6494]

Very informative,keep giving us more n more,enjoy them,thanks

[@AWanderingEye]

Reusing food bags: I have a cat so we go through used kitty litter. To keep the smell down, I scoop the wet into whatever frozen food bags I've accumulated and deposit those into the used kitty litter container (which has a lid). When that is full, then it goes out to the landfill trash can. As for the solid waste, I just scoop that and flush it down the toilet. The cat doesn't seem to mind and the city hasn't complained either. Kitty Litter sold in boxes: When we empty a box of kitty litter, I remove a panel with a box cutter and scissors, vacuum it out and wipe the inside with a rag and some all purpose spray. The cut edge, while not sharp can stand a strip of tape for reinforcement. Then you have either a tall vertical magazine style box or a shallow horizontal bin (with a handle). I cut mine according to the shelving unit space I have available. I have several craft projects that I like to keep in their own totes to keep things organized between stages of work. Children making art would like these to keep things safe from damage , too. These also work great for sorting supplies into or storing items such as a garage shelf or in the office. As a magazine style box, anything that can stand vertically fits but since it is larger than a typical file folder or magazine, it can hold several narrow tall items well as smaller containers you need to keep vertical (acrylic paints and brushes, art papers, etc). And of course since it is fairly temporary, when the project is done it can be put out for recycling or broken down and reused. Reuses that come to mind is anything that requires flat thin cardstock panels (3 hole punch and use to separate pages in a binder?) or even papier mache. The handle part can be attached to other items you would like a handle added to such as another box or one of those taller jugs that don't always have built in handles. I prefer Swheat brand of kitty litter since it doesn't have clay and it comes with a multipurpose container that isn't made of plastic. Since it is more expensive, I appreciate getting a little storage bin to use with each purchase! Hope these ideas are helpful to your cat loving viewers!

[@RobinBaich]

The tip about using bread tabs on tape rolls - priceless tip! Thank you!

[@estherost7555]

I place plastic clips from bagel bags on the end of the large rolls of clear packing tape. It is so easy to find the end of the tape, without wasting any by folding it over to keep it from sticking onto the larger roll.

[@rhondatallent2396]

I use hangars to hang items on the shower rod for delicates or rugs or backpacks.

[@THEJENNIFERCOOK]

Great tip! Thanks for sharing 🤗

[@CarlaQuattlebaum]

I bought a tub of the Brach's soft wintergreen candies back in December. I was almost ready to throw the empty tub away, but decided to put my Boulder paper napkins in it. They are a bit smushed toward the bottom, since the container is a little narrower at the bottom, but I like having a napkin container with a lid. This tub would also be handy at outdoor events (cookouts, birthday parties) to keep the napkins clean and keep them from blowing away.

[@CarlaQuattlebaum]

Update: Okay, I broke down and bought a square plastic container that my Boulder napkins fit into a lot better. I DIDN'T throw away that empty Brach's tub. I'm going to save it for the next outdoor birthday party for my grandson and put the napkins in it. Okay if napkins at the bottom are smushed for a few hours for a party. I just wanted something nicer for the napkins that I have to look at every day.

[@niefiazupancic3063]

Great ideas - thanks - I also use the little mini M & M tubes to hold quarters - they fit quarters perfectly and will hold about $12.00-13.00 - I keep the change in my car for when I need parking change.

[@THEJENNIFERCOOK]

That's perfect!

[@CarlaQuattlebaum]

The tubes that hold Airborne tablets will also hold quarters.

[@Paula-tf3zv]

I use the pill containers to hold my quarters and put them in the little storage compartment on my dash board. I can't tell you how many times those quarters have spared me trouble! I've used them to buys a couple of gallons of gas when I don't have my wallet with me (or to buy a Dairy Queen)😊

[@daviddeininger2938]

We get thicker rubber bands around our mail sometimes. I keep them & use them to shut up frozen food in plastic bags so I can put them back in freezer. Lorraine

[@ellenlockhart4494]

I use an Altoid tin to hold straight pins. I keep the little silica desiccant sachets in the tin and in drawers, boxes, etc. to keep things dry. I live in a very humid place.

[@YoSpiff]

I do something similar for recipes. I also use those store hangers for hang drying awkward items that don't hang on a normal hanger, such as my cycling shorts. I use the TP cores for organizing spare USB cables. Another tip I learned that doesn't require anything is on a plastic bag such a bread package, once you've used up a few slices, just twist the top a couple of times and pull it over the bag to close it, instead of hassling with the plastic clips or wire twists.

[@THEJENNIFERCOOK]

Great tips!

[@nelda7071360]

I use chip bags to put my food in for the freezer or even mail out swaps or wishes. I also rewash foil and reuse. Use scrapbook paper on oatmeal or other food boxes to make decorated boxes. Use food boxes to make post it notes holders.

[@toonybooper]

I absolutely COVET bread twist ties 😂 I use them for cable management. They're free and super useful.

[@THEJENNIFERCOOK]

Yes, they are! ❤️

[@SoJustAsk]

If you knit or crochet the bread clippie is real handy to wind that beginning cast on strand of yarn around to keep it out of the way. Just wind the yarn around it and when it's time to sew your project up or weave in your ends, unwind and use.

[@THEJENNIFERCOOK]

Great tip! ❤️

[@heartsaliveart]

Thank you for sharing! Great tip.

[@Paula-tf3zv]

Great idea! Also, I use toilet paper rolls to wrap my left over yarn from a project. Now all I have to do is figure out a new project to use them in!

[@lovechangesus]

I save envelopes that come in the mail to use as note paper. I never have to feel guilty about jotting down something or trying to work something out on paper because it's on something that normally gets thrown out anyway. It piles up, so I use for grocery lists, daily task lists, and working out budget items before committing them to the budget book. I dont have to buy note pads.

[@kathleenwallace8252]

I use store hangers instead of buying. The clippies can be used as chip clips

[@KS-jf2jf]

These are awesome! The cereal bag hacks are genius 🤓 The amount of waste would be diverted from landfill and money saved if more people did these kinds of things! I really enjoy this, so useful. Thank you 🙏

[@antonianovoa6416]

when we moved into our new home, the yard had an old large redwood swing set. This swing set was huge, so I incorporated it into my garden. I used the large yellow tube slide and had a young friend cut this large into large planters. I was able to obtain three large planters and a smaller one for a corner area. Looks sunny!

[@THEJENNIFERCOOK]

Glass coffee jars to store bulk spice or grains. Bread bags to dispose of diapers. Meat polystyrene trays to dry seeds/ egg shells or catch water from plants on window cill. Cereal bags for portioning meat. Reuse ziplocks all the time. Shampoo bottles used to mix animal wash/dip so it's easy to pour on.

[@tinathompson6775]

I have used the bread wrapper plastic clips, the ones that have prongs on the sides, to clean underneath my fingernails with in a pinch. Works great!!

[@Christine-zk6hk]

You can use a hair dryer to remove labels from glass jars. You can also use the hair dryer to remove stickers from the windows in your car.

[@DawnDavidson]

Brilliant idea with the hangers and printed recipes! Love the idea of using the cereal bag for piping, too. I used plastic bags last time, and the ones I used had a pleated bottom and I ended up with double rows of frosting! Was great for piping the grass on our gingerbread house, but not so good otherwise. 😂 The bag clip idea for tape rolls is also brilliant!

[@THEJENNIFERCOOK]

Dawn, thank you so much! Have a great week 🤗

[@kathiebaldwin6169]

I keep a stash of cereal bags on hand for putting under messy projects. They are pretty big when opened up so that they're flat. My grandchildren use them under slime or play dough.

I use padded mailers from Amazon for packing away holiday decor or padding for shipping. I love the clam shell packages from lettuce or grapes to germinate seeds. I slit used tp rolls to keep wrapping paper from unwinding off the roll while in storage. Plastic bottles are great for dispensing and storing granular garden chemicals that come in bags. Resealable plastic “cans” or jars are great for storing leftover paint.

[@CarlaQuattlebaum]

I especially like the idea of using Amazon padded envelopes for storing holiday items, especially fragile items! I used to peel my address label off these and toss them. Not any more, definitely saving those blue and white bubble envelopes for future use! Thanks for that idea.

[@pamhuckle3029]

Use egg cartons for jewelry. Small Christmas ornaments on flats (trays) from 2.5 dozen eggs.

[@wendynamisnik11]

You can also fill toilet paper rolls with dryer lint and use those as fire starters. Pistachio shells are also good kindling.

[@marryshirbroun4176]

Use an old candle to drizzle wax over the lint and it will burn longer.

Great info, I wish it had something new for me…. Sigh…. I have been a reuse-er for ages!! Here is one.. boil your egg shells for just a few minutes, save the water let it cool and water your plants inside and out. The let the eggshells dry or gently toast them in the oven and grind to a powder, add to pet food or proline shakes for added calcium. And use some cheese cloth and put peelings form onions and potatoes celery and carrots and such in the cheesecloth or in a pan and strain after they have had a simmer.. cool and freeze for vegetable broth

I replaced the fabric soles of some slippers with an old macdonalds apron and a cereal packet liner ... they have lasted 8 years!!

[@firstchord2323]

Very intriguing! Would you mind sharing the process with us?

[@mysustainabilityjourney9321]

Draw around the sole and make a cardboard template.. draw round the template shape and cut around 1.5cm bigger all round from some hard-wearing fabric, a thick piece of plastic and anything else to add thickness, like an old thick blanket or fleece. Pin them together and sew all around about 1.5 cm in from the edge, using strong thread. Make sure the durable fabric is on the bottom of the sole and stitch it to the slipper tucking the edge in out of sight as you go. Take your time and check that the sole is in the right position as you sew it. Good luck.

Good ideas you have there. As for the bread clippie, I find that if I just put my half-sleeve of saltines in the fridge, they stay fresh.

I had no idea! I will have to try that 🤗

I love this type of video! Keep warm! It's winter for sure here in East Tennessee. It's very cold today, and single digit temperatures are predicted for next week...brrrrr

[@THEJENNIFERCOOK]

Linda, it's getting colder here as well. Stay warm in Tennessee 🤗

I don’t know about the plastic containers but for the glass containers using your hairdryer on hot for just a few seconds will loosen the label and it comes cleanly off!

I use egg cartons with a lid for little xmas balls.

[@nelda7071360]

I use egg cartons for ice cubes

[@Mamadriggs]

I also buy Stok coffee to make my one coffee a day. I take the label off those and clean them out. I freeze them at an angle about 1/2 full of water so I can then pack them to go for baseball tournaments so I can refill my sons thermos he keeps in the dugout on hot summer days with cold water. It also doubles as “ice” in our cooler to keep the rest of our stuff cold too. Great camping hack too for having potable water.

Very good tips. I like these videos how to repurpose items.

[@THEJENNIFERCOOK]

Thanks for watching!

[@notme7090]

I reuse . of those items for gardening. Resealable plastic is good for keeping mice out of your seeds 😐😂. Found that out the hard way recently. I buy things like pretzels in the plastic containers to reuse for dried goods.

[@gracebock2900]

Thanks dear.Learnt tt I can cut up the cereal plastic bags n use them to separate my minced meat pieces.Great idea❤

[@bessieoriotis5104]

I enjoy your videos. The glass items is my painful pet peeve. I lived it. I really loved these tips. ❤

[@juliekoester7776]

To get the label and the glue off of the jars, plastic or glass, just use a blow dryer and it will heat up and the glue and will come off and so is the label. Easy Peezy lemon squeezy. 😉

Excellent ideas! Thanks for sharing. I am going to try the butter wrapper.
