I also wash zip bags. I use them for vegetables mostly. I deep freeze meat in cheap ones and discart them later on. Also, i always rinse dirty dishes in pot of water and use only half of tablet. I have heard of using vinegar insted of rinser, but I never used it so. I am definitly going to use vinegar more often! Thanks for this post, I am glad to see that other people think the same, so I am not nuts 😊ana@carpe_diemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18399861549839281945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-11354483082570022822011-05-17T08:17:03.892-07:002011-05-17T08:17:03.892-07:00I use vinegar in the rinse cycle, too.

I shared about washing & reusing cool whip bowls, deli containers, etc. I especially save up a stash before camping season ...I can use & toss them afterward for less dishwashing in the camper. You are completely right ... it's definitely the little things that add up to big savings.Angela ~ Call Her Blessedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11593300932492062467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-71617198953659800902011-05-11T16:44:55.159-07:002011-05-11T16:44:55.159-07:00Good saving ideas!

I buy the heavy freezer bags, and they seem to last forever.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12804612373258679031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-139352121479401922011-05-11T12:38:17.280-07:002011-05-11T12:38:17.280-07:00Good tip for the dishwasher.

There was a time however, when our kids were young that I ran that thing twice a day. After breakfast, and again at night! <br />I am big on coupons too. I have also been known to reuse large ziplocks!!Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15578853096888320012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-67512967783386171482011-05-11T09:51:44.540-07:002011-05-11T09:51:44.540-07:00Thanks for the tip about the dishwasher.

I've been washing my ziplock bags for years too - but never the ones that had meat in them. <br />CandySweet Meanderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10218604599236484412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-28250992528213453602011-05-11T09:39:59.473-07:002011-05-11T09:39:59.473-07:00I too wash and re-use zip-lock bags but totally ag...I too wash and re-use zip-lock bags but totally agree never one with meat or chicken, those I toss. But to use the expensive large freezer bags, I first portion out my meats/ chicken and then put in smaller non freezer bags and then insert those smaller bags into the large expensive freezer bags! Congratulations on your coupon savings and thanks for the tip on cutting dishwasher disk in half... gonna do that.
