I reuse a lot of things. ZombieSquirrel thinks I'm weird for using Adams peanut butter jars to store food in, but they're in a cupboard, so who cares? I reuse all kinds of jars.
I reuse the plastic tubs our salsa comes in for freezing things. They're very good for freezing, and they come in 2 different sizes. I reuse yogurt containers for freezing, too.
I reuse all kinds of plastic bags. I take plastic grocery bags in to my work. When kids get sent home with dirty clothes, the dirty clothes go into a plastic grocery bag. With as many kids as we have potty-training right now, we go through a lot of them.
I like canning because I get to reuse the same set of jars over and over again. I have quite a collection of mason jars.
I reuse paper bags and cardboard boxes as recycling receptacles and cat toys.
I reuse newspaper in my garden, in place of weedcloth. This is the first year I've tried it. We'll see how it goes.
