On
days that we have pancakes, waffles, or french toast I usually make a triple
batch and then freeze the leftovers. When I have these items on the menu in one
week, you can imagine the overflow going on in my freezer. I usually just use ziploc
baggies to store the items in and then when the baggie is empty I wash it to
reuse at a later time. However, I felt that I was using too many baggies then
need be. A few years back I heard of someone using the bag that bagels came in.
I decided to try it.
Now
when I make my triple batches and after the pieces freeze I put them in a bagel
bag. I am able to fit a large amount of pancakes and french toast in one bag.
This allows more room in my freezer, reusing the bagel bags, and decreasing the
usage on my baggies, which in turn saves me some money. I will not complain about
that. I may be just saving some cents but those cents add up.
What money saving
tips do you have?
Love the tip! I reuse all things plastic...you never know what you will need in the future! Pen holder, organizer, staining leftovers, send homes, the list goes on and on! Thanks for the tip!
