My brilliant 4-H co-leader suggested we use club money to buy reusable place settings for our 4-H potlucks. I absolutely loved the idea and said, "Wait. I bet I could already provide transportable place settings for our whole club." We washed up my tinware collection (which I buy if I find them for a dollar or less). Do I ever have a collection! Now our 4-H club meals will end with little to no trash! Here's the start of our cleaning. This isn't even my whole collection!
Speaking of collections, I took our my ice skate collection so my kids could pick out ones that fit. These were all thrifted, I think the most expensive pair was $5. I have enough to host a skating party and invite half the town. Perhaps we should get making a rink!
I love your no-waste idea for get-togethers!
