I started this list to help wean myself off of throwing money in the trash - anyone got any good ones?
Aluminum foil … Store food in containers; line pans with silicone baking mat
Batteries … Rechargeable batteries
Bottled water … Water bottle + tap water + thinking ahead
Cupcake liners … Silicone cupcake liners, or use a silicone cupcake pan without liners
Dryer sheets … Dryer balls or tennis balls
Kleenex … Handkerchiefs, cloth baby wipes (soft cotton or flannel - just started this, so much nicer than paper)
Kotex/Tampax … Diva cup, cloth pads/“mama cloths”
Paper towels … Microfiber cloths, rags, hand towels, retired bath towels, retired T-shirts
Parchment paper … Silicone baking mat
Plastic wrap … Store food in containers, cover rising bread with a plate
Shopping bags … Cloth tote bags + thinking ahead
Swiffer inserts … Damp or dry microfiber cloths, wrapped around the mop
To-go cups … Be “that guy” and see if the coffee shop will fill up your travel mug or mason jar
Toilet paper … Bidet + cloth baby wipes/”family cloth” to dry off (admittedly have not enacted this one yet!)
Tupperware … Replace flimsy disposables with heavy-duty containers, mason jars, or Pyrex
Ziploc bags … containers; mason jars; waterproof wet bags
