Grandma lesson #1 - Ziploc Bags

Yep, I cannot avoid it (and do not want to avoid it at all!) - I am my grandmother's granddaughter.

My grandmother taught me some great lessons that I have sewn into my heart. The one that just sprang into my day today is to never ever ever throw away a ziploc bag until it has worn thin. I just ate my peanut butter sandwich and I'm looking at this ziploc and there is no frickin' way I am throwing it away. I can use this bag to bring sandwiches to work for at least a week. It's not one of those whimpy ziplocs either, it is the hardcore kind that is super thick. No way am I tossing it yet!

Yes, Grandma would be so proud.

The only way I will toss a ziplock is if it had meat in it. We use them until they CAN'T be used anymore, even the freezer ones. I haven't made granny proud yet though because I haven't set aside one particular ziploc in which to save ever rubber band that comes into my house. :)

Oh, yeah, the meat usage thing is a line I can't cross either. I hate to use a ziploc for meat because I know I'll have to toss it!
