Being the meanest woman in the world according to my two daughters aged 15 and 8, I refuse point blank to buy gladwrap or plastic bags. In fact, so mean am I that I reuse the plastic bag the TV Guide comes in for a lunch bag for sandwiches. (Oh the TV Guide subscription was a gift. Do I sound like I would pay for such a luxury?) Every plastic bag that comes into our home meets several different fates. It is laid flat on the kitchen bench and I cut the handles off, then I slice down the sides so I have 2 large pieces of plastic. This I then cut into sizes suitable for wrapping sandwiches, and any other items that will find their way into the school and work lunch boxes. And I always use plastic bags to cover food in the fridge. If I buy meat from the supermarket I pull of the wrapping and rinse, and use to cover the cat food, which by the way I also make. Mean, absolutely, and proud of it.
