My Daily Thrifty Tip for February 19, 2011


#82 Reuse rubber bands from broccoli. I never have to buy rubber bands! I have a little plastic ziplock bag in my junk drawer and add to it every time I find a rubber band on something. Broccoli always comes with those blue rubber bands wrapped around them, my husband's medications are usually rubber banded together by the pharmacy, some kid's toys have rubber bands on them in the packaging, etc. Instead of throwing them away I save them to be used again and again. This saves me from buying them and rescues them from the trash!

honestly I didn't know you could even BUY rubber bands!
I've always saved them. My kids like to play with them too.
