How many times have you thrown away an empty coffee container? A spaghetti sauce jar? Or an empty tub of peanut butter? What if instead of tossing these items you could repurpose them? As a college student, these items definitely start to add up at the grocery store, leaving less room in my budget for other household goods. By checking out the project linked below, you can get twice the use out of your pre packaged grocery items. You can also make them unique and personalized by designing them yourself! This is not only cost effective but also an opportunity to make memories that you will recall whenever opening a jar or container. You could also do this with your roommates and friends so that you can all help save money and the environment at the same time!
