Also, instead of buying freezer bags, you can wash & re-use milk bags (in Canada). They're thicker, and tie nicely with a twist-tie.

I am on a fire department, and have given children involved in fires a gently used cuddler. They love the idea that someone cared enough about them to give up their toys. Re-use Styrofoam cups from the gas stations (if you buy them for a soda),for coffee to go, or even re-use them as "peanuts for packing", instead of buying a new one each time.You can get a refill price, instead of being charged full at most convenient stores.
