I also have quite a collection of shampoo/condition/soaps and lotions from all my travels.

My family, 5 kids at home and husband, always try to use our things wisely and repurpose things if we can.<br />Thanks for your great blog.

We can then put it in our fire pit in the yard this winter since it will get cool soon here in Phoenix.

Try adding some of them to your boxes of paper this year. <br /><br />One year, we had a tree service dump their trimmings in back of the house and had quite a bit of free wood for the next winter.

I feel that empty boxes were made for stuffing with papers, I use the wrappers from butter, marg. and lard or shortening to grease my pans, then wad them up to go in the boxes. I feel then I've gotten my money's worth.

There was never a piece of paper or cardboard that went into the trash. I have used the twist'm'ties to keep rolls of paper together, too. One thing I did was save small boxes and stuff them with paper, twigs, whatever I came across. They burn like small logs when stuffed full enough.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122457524036298067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5460131713224869765.post-21725195634898122692009-09-11T18:27:34.894-06:002009-09-11T18:27:34.894-06:00I'm with you on using up paper.

Maybe this goes to extreme, but that's what I do. When the paper can't be used anymore for writing on, I wad it loosely and use for starting fires. There may come a time when I have too many fire starters, so then roll Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17700529481250059986noreply@blogger.com
