1. Washed out good quality ziploc bags to reuse. As long as they had not contained meat, poultry or any greasy item they were fair game.
2. Refilled the small Sunny Delight personal size bottles with juice to send in my husbands lunch.
3. Watered down the shampoo, laundry detergent, fabric softener etc. To make it go further.
4. Figured out when (5am on Thursdays) the local market was going to mark down all packaged luncheon meats and cheeses and then staked out the area until the guy finished the mark downs. Another woman and I were there week after week at the same time. Most times we split the loot.
