I cut my toothpaste tubes open and always get at least 3 more brushes! Another thing I do. I never buy plastic wrap or Tupperware. Cottage cheese, yogurt, and other containers are great. I use them for my own food, and when I'm giving food away! Also, anything wrapped in plastic (like paper towels, toilet paper, bread bags) I keep the plastic and use for small garbage bags and to cover plates of food with.
These trees have not been cut. These still have their root balls and can be planted after holiday use! A cool new custom in some circles; tree gets decorated the day after thanksgiving (family day!). No need to cook; leftovers! Then, on Jan 7th, tree gets planted somewhere, and "decorated" with wild bird treats. I love this idea!👍👏
Cafes that will give you coffee in your own cup/mug/etc rather than a disposable cup are great but they all stopped doing that during the pandemic and quite a few never started again.
If you're going to take or give food - like an office party or a funeral or pot luck - you can get containers/plates, often unbreakable, at thrift stores and not have to worry about getting them back. Holiday themed items are also great to get second hand. Thrift stores are an underused resource.
Yeah, I didn't get that one either. Maybe they get ready made soups and hot food at the grocery store without using the disposable containers and just bring their own Corningware or whatever it's called. ??
I saw this in another video, and there's a part missing here. It's about how cheap those old casseroles are in thrift stores and the like, and they always buy them and have some in store to give away food instead of using tin foil or other packages that produce waste. The person taking the food with them can either return the dish or give it away to the next person on a similar occasion.
8:12 I always save my vegetable peels, stumps, stalks and other leftovers for broth. I mean, why throw them away and then buy fresh veggies only to also throw them away after cooking them out? Using all instead of wasting twice!
@@honeybeeisme That's exactly what I do. I let it boil for quite some time, 2-3 hours minimum. First bring to a boil, then reduce to minimum heat and let it simmer. I also add some salt and other spices to taste, and then it gets a great flavour.
8:37 I once had such a thing, but I find it more convenient to push the remaining toothpaste forward with the toothbrush handle. At some of our supermarkets, breath from yesterday is always discounted to often only a quarter of the normal price. Still very good bread, and saves a lot of money for someone like me, who has to watch his budget.😊
Excellent ideas! 👏
Glad you like them!
These are nothing. I knitted a whole new cat from the fur on the sofa.

Broccoli stalks are perfectly edible, indeed some people prefer them to the florets.
My favorite is reusing the greeting card
What was the Christmas tree one at 03:58? What are they doing differently?

@@cherilynnfisher5658too bad that doesn’t show up in the photo.

Way to go!!!!
7:39 what is been refilled?
This was great! So nice to see that people still care. Every little bit helps.
All great ideas 🙏🏻💗
What about the Christmas trees? Didn't get the creative idea there.
Glad you like them!
@@DoloresLehmann Me, either.
7:11 I need to remember this
2:49 what is the great idea?
Yeah, I didn't get that one either. Maybe they get ready made soups and hot food at the grocery store without using the disposable containers and just bring their own Corningware or whatever it's called. ??
No idea what that one is!?? Upside down containers in a grocery cart??
In this comment section someone is asking the exact same question and they get the answer. It's pretty clever actually.
Broccoli stems are the best part to eat! I love them.
2:50 I don’t get the good idea, would someone please explain it to me. 🤗
Id get it either maybe he or she was saying instead of buying new baking stuff why thrift it instead?

@@DoloresLehmann Now I get it 😁 thank you Dolores 🤗
@@DoloresLehmann Oh, I was wondering about that.
They loan out antique collectible pyrex?
Where???

Delores, do you simply boil the veggie “waste” and then strain? It sounds like a great idea!

@@DoloresLehmann thank you soooo much!!! I’m pretty excited to try this!
