A week ago I wrote about eating generic. I found an even better way to save money. With two people eating ALL the time, I’m not ashamed to admit that I will do anything to save a dime (have you heard about my stay at home etsy mom obsession?)

That’s right, boys and girls, reusable bags. Know what that means? Mama’s saving money. And, Mama is also helping to save the environment. Want a disturbing little factoid? Each year, an estimated five billion to one trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide. By the time my kids are adults they’ll apparently be heading to the beach to swim in plastic. Building little plastic bag castles on the plastic. Sitting under their umbrella, soaking up some plastic. Nothing like a little plastic to relax on/ with/ around.

I currently have switched to cloth diapers, reusable bags, reusable snack bags, un-paper towels, and I no longer buy single serve water. I want to save money and the earth for my children. The bag pictured hangs on my oven and my un-paper towels go in it when they are wet and dirty. It’s a water proof bag and I LOVE IT!

So go to etsy one day and look around. You can support America but buying American and home-made and save some money and the earth while you are at it.
