Speaking out and asking helps indeed. I agree with you about the ziplocs, not worth the effort about such little things. Other containers, yes! Clothes, sure. But reusing ziplocs and such it seems a bit exaggerated to me. Lovely blog! :) You were great! Speaking out and asking helps indeed.

We have done that for years. As for washing baggies, I think it has more to do with an attitude rather than getting rich by reusing ziplocs. In my house we try to use everything more than once. Bags are washed (with dishes, it would be silly to wash them on their own and waste water), most containers are reused, clothes are passed down, or made into something for another person in the family. If you have the mentality that things can have more than one purpose, then you will save money over the long run. Just my $0.02. Toni http://thehappyhousewife.com Great job on negotiating your rent.

I had never heard of such a thing. Great advice. Not bad for less than five minutes of work. Negotiating rent! I had never heard of such a thing. Great advice.
