It’s time for the Third Thursday Repurpose post. Each month I will be bringing you a great idea for repurposing items that would have been headed to the trash or recycling bin. There are so many items in our homes that we can reuse and repurpose (instead of sending to the land fill) As my Father-in-law says “if you use something twice, it costs half as much”>>>tweet this!
Here’s a great one many of us may have in abundance- baby wipes boxes! Many obvious things come to mind when thinking of how to reuse these boxes: crayons or markers, matchbox cars, legos, fridge magnets or ribbon. But here is another idea for ya. Use them to keep your grocery sacks tidy and easy to get to. Simply create a chain link of the plastic grocery sacks, so you can pull one out as you need it. Here is how to make the links:
I also talked with Mikaela Hunt about the wipes box on NBC4. See that video here.
Do you have an awesome repurposing or up-cycling idea? I would love to hear about it! Send me a picture and description to amissiontosave @hotmail .com and maybe your idea will be next month’s post (I’ll give you all the cred, promise)!

Duh. What a fabulous idea. Why did this never occur to me. I’m so doing this. Thank you!!! Find you through Thrifty Thursday. Take care and have a good week. 🙂
Oh, I love that quote by your father-in-law! So true! I have my bags stuffed in a tissue box, but the wipes container is much more durable. Great post!
This post was a total “duh, why didn’t I think of that?!” I have a thousand empty baby wipe containers, and a thousand grocery store bags overflowing beneith my kitchen sink. great idea! Wish I had thought of it sooner. Thanks
Thanks for linking up to Thrifty Thursday! Baby wipe containers are so handy – love this idea.
