It's hung out of the way in a corner over our dryer... saves money, since I use<br />ZipLocs a LOT.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955116067520235636.post-70916712173079522052009-11-09T00:04:13.248-06:002009-11-09T00:04:13.248-06:00Years ago I read (I believe it was in one of the T...Years ago I read (I believe it was in one of the Tightwad Gazzete books that Ziplocks could be washed in the washing machine along with a load of wash. I have done it over the years and the only trick is not to forget and throw them in the dryer!!! I like to wash them with the kitchen towels and sponges. First I turn them inside out so the food is removed with washing. I take the bags out when the load is done and hang them up to dry. I do label the bags so meat bags get used with meat and cheese with cheese and so forth. When bags are kind of rough looking they get moved to the garage for the shop.<br />With the price of these useful bags it is necessary to keep reusing them! lol no I am not nuts!The Frugal Frauleinhttp://frugalcanning.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955116067520235636.post-68116356932145478982009-11-06T02:42:42.968-06:002009-11-06T02:42:42.968-06:00Hi,

My job as part-time 'house wife' includes managing our household as effeciently and frugally as possible, given my busy schedule. I throw used baggies in the utility sink on the back porch, then have a baggie-washing day when they've accumulated somewhat. Then I hang them on the clothesline to dry. My point - even if you can't commit 24-7 to an ecofriendly and money-saving home/farm, there are lots of small things you can do.<br /><br />PS. I love your blog!Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14716131153685890980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955116067520235636.post-72997957934192442632009-03-15T21:24:00.000-05:002009-03-15T21:24:00.000-05:00I have a money saving tip..
