Tuesday Tip: DIY Food Saver

We have discovered a new way to keep our produce fresh in the fridge!

Put your freshly chopped veggies into a Ziploc, and zip it most of the way. If you are storing leafy greens, fold up a paper towel and stick it in too- to absorb any extra moisture.

Use a straw to suck out all of the air in the Ziploc then quickly zip the rest shut. Bam. :)

Tuesday Tip: Up-cycled Garbage Bag Box

We're starting a tradition on this blog called the Tuesday Tip. We often find some information or have a clever idea we just have to share. So come back every Tuesday for something new.

This week I thought it would be fun to share a little idea I had for up-cycling a Garbage bag box. Its a really simple idea, and pretty useful.

My plastic bags I get from the store are always such a mess, I know I could use reusable store bags but I just cant get myself to always remember to bring those along. So, I want give those bags a purpose and not just toss them out.

This is what my bag storage situation looked like before

And this is what it looks like now!

I just took an old garbage bag box and stuffed in the plastic bags and Voila! You have yourself a plastic bag storage solution!
