I reheated leftovers like a champ. ;-) <br /><br />I'm a fan of buying Gap gift cards at Rite Aid or the like over the holidays when they have a reward. Between all of the shops that are included, I can almost always find a use for the gift card by the end of the year. <br /><br />I will definitely report back on the reusable ziplocks!

I bring library books even when I travel, & it was in a compartment of the suitcase I failed to check when I empty it out. <br /><br />I too use glass containers for leftovers (also got them at Costco), but the boys need smaller/lighter weight options for packed lunches.

Though maybe not on Monday when it was unbearably hot and firing up the oven sounded like torture. <br /><br />I've been searching for a few tops that are easy to put on when my hands, arms, and shoulders are too painful to move and found a couple candidates on sale at Gap, then stacked that with coupons and gift cards so none of it was out of pocket. Here's hoping they fit! <br /><br />Can't wait to see your thoughts on the replacement ziplocks! We just use the same ones over and over until they wear out.

I also earned $40 Kohls cash, so will use towards new bath towels, inexpensive ones, for the lake. Not inexpensive, but some thrifty results I think over time.SAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16485146123969622896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445523662180116681.post-83151674264803168762017-05-05T09:41:03.244-07:002017-05-05T09:41:03.244-07:00The books might turn up or could have just gotten ...The books might turn up or could have just gotten lost to the ages in the move. <br /> We had a couple of things that disappeared from our last move that never were found. Of course some of my things might have been like an ugly pair of boots TheHub had and gotten "lost" when someone else secretly took them to <br />Goodwill<br />Frugal smugal. This week kicked my butt!

Best to put that behind you. We still use baggies (I buy them from the dollar store and they are pretty decent) for freezing but for the fridge I use glass containers I bought at costco which work perfect for leftovers. They save on the amount of baggies I need to use. Apparently they are thinking of approving UBER for Vancouver (big issue with lack of cabs there) but it truly takes forever for these things to get approved in Canada due to legal/insurance issues.
