Thrifty Green Thursday - Reusable Bags

It's been awhile since I blogged, fortunately I have the good folks at The Green Baby Guide (http://greenbabyguide.com/) to keep me in check.

This money-saving tip came from Tipnut.com - "Sure you can buy some trendy brand name shopping bags, but why not make your own bags for cheap (and even free!), they can be as chic and cool as you like (and original too)!"

Thrifty Green Thursday Carnival

The Green Baby Guide (http://greenbabyguide.com/) are running a "Thrifty Green Thursday Carnival". Even though, babies, gas, food of any kind, and air travel are becoming ridiculously expensive, At greenbabyguide.com they believe it’s possible to save the planet and a wad of cash with a few creative ideas. (we do too!)

So how can families (or individuals for that matter) can save money while "going green"?

As a family, we at Organic Baby have gone back to the days of food co-ops. Rather than ordering a fruit/vege box for our family each week (at $30-$55). We have a large fortnightly fruit delivery box which we share between three families (costing us just over $18 per family per fortnight). We grown our own vege and buy more as & when required (no waste).

Check out our NZ directory for fruit & vege delivery services.
