Hey Guys!
Um, so why didn't anyone ever tell us that being "Green" could save our little family A LOT of money. Hmmm? Yea thats right I'm talking to all you other greenies out there. So ever since AB and I figured this out we have been slowly going green. Yup thats right we are jumping on the green wagon. Now keep in mind that yes of course we love the planet and want to help save it but lets be honest we started this with the purpose of saving money. Does it really matter why we started it or that we are doing it? Oooh. Look at that I made you guys think huh?
This will be broken up into 3 separate posts.
These are the things we do that are "green":
-Recycling
-Reusable Containers, Water Bottles, and Bags
-We also will eventually Cloth diaper
Reusables-
Another way we have been "going green" is reusable containers, water and bags. We have been buying them up like crazy! From everywhere and anywhere that we can find a really good deal.
We use mostly glass at home but have a lot of plastic. I use the plastic when I am taking food places or when I don't necessarily want it back. I have been saving all the glass jars that food come packaged in to store leftovers in. Now I love glass jars for all my leftovers but when we are on the go I use my plastic skip*hop containers. I love them so much and it super duper helps that I got them at consignment for $10. It also helps that they have there very own little cold bag and ice pack. No more giant lunch box for just a couple snacks. Yay!
I have been buying a lot of reusable snack and sandwich bags. Not only are they adorable but they are saving me TONS on ziploc bags because I use ziplocs for everything and I mean EVERYTHING! Keegan also looks really cute carrying them around. I also love them because between Ebay, Amazon, and Zulily, I can always find a good sale on them.
I also have a bunch of reusable water bottles. I'm serious I have a ton. but how can I not with all the free ones businesses give out at pretty much any kind of event. Out of my whole collection my favorites are my Contigo brand bottles. We have 4 of the ones with straws. I love those because of how thick the straws are but, I recently purchased one of the Auto-seal ones with the button. I'm in love with it! It has so much more flow than I thought it would. I just all around love this brand. I'm going to buy KT one soon. I can't wait. Wow lol that almost turned into a review.
Now KT has a collapsable water bottle that he absolutely loves. I don't love that i feel like I can't put anything but water in it but I do absolutely love that he loves it so much. He drinks so much water now! I love that! He loves to drink it flat! He is getting so much more hydration then he was.
I have purchased like 10 but, hand-me-downs have supplied me with around 50 reusable grocery bags. I got so tired of them just being stuffed in a bag and never used. So I did the obvious and started using them lol. I can't believe I waited so long. I love, love, love not having to recycle 5,000 plastic bags every month... Ok so that may be a bit of an exaggeration but it felt like that lol.
Talk to you guys soon.
