This is a tip that should really be obvious to everyone but even I am guilty of forgetting to do this. Thanks to Lynsey for this tip…
Never throw away take-out napkins. Whenever you order take-out or get fast food to go, they give you a *ton* of napkins and you rarely need them all. Don’t throw them away when you clean up, add them to your cupboard and use them! Its so easy to just crumple everything all together, but it really cuts down on having to buy napkins/paper towels and it doesn’t waste them.

My girls and I have been doing this forever! Especially in the car. Saves us money and you know that things spill in the car and having napkins is always a plus! I also save the ketchup packets. I am always forgetting to buy it and this way I know I have at least a little!

I have done this for as long as can remember. I also keep a gallon zip bag in my car, to collecting them.
I have a little guy starting K this year, I am trying something new to me by making cloth napkins for his lunchbox.
