Pumped at work and kept it in the bottle until the next pump session rather than waste a bag because I hardly pumped enough to even put in the bag! Haha I know it's small but I didnt want to waste a bag.

Turn the baggies insideout and let them air dry, if it's not too humid.   If it's humid, dry them like you would your dishes.

Quoting chrisnjoesmom:

 

Quoting JakeandEmmasMom:

How do you wash you baggies? I know someone who does that, but they never really seem clean so I've never tried it.

Quoting chrisnjoesmom:

Re-used baggies, before I would throw them out, but now I am refilling them.

We ate leftovers for lunches.

We went on a mini vacation but it was only 1 hr drive and got a good deal on a new hotel and got waterpark tickets for half off.  Only ate out once on the trip, the rest of the time we had sandwiches and fruit and snacks. 

I am not washing them, what I do is, say I have frozen french toast sticks in a freezer bag, when it runs out, I use the same bag instead of before I would throw out the bag and put them in a new one.  I have a friend who washes them too but I would think they'd get moldy inside.

didn't eat out once!  Got six full size Tresseme products for $1 each.  Got my daughter a $75 watch from Kohls for $11 (needed for her MA program at school)

 DD & I went to her favorite consignment store for school clothes and I ended up scoring a pair of brand new expensive loafers for $12.00. I also got some work clothes on the 50% off rack at the consignment store.
