I love the old ways when people used cloth tote bags, woven baskets, wood, metal and glass. Natural is the way to go. Just research what people used in the 1800’s and earlier. There is also something very romantic about the old ways and the esthetics of old containers. I like the look of rugged burlap bags with twine to keep them closed. They did it then. We can do it now.

In reply to Miss. Hello! Consignment stores are also a great option! They may be a little pricier compared to standard thrift stores but consignment stores typically have better quality pieces. Some consignment stores have discount sections so definitely keep an eye out for those! Hope this helps! Have a great day.

Hello! What is your opinion on consignment stores? I know they take in secondhand clothes as well, and this is all we have for good choices in thrift stores where I am at. I want to be able to help our planet in any way possible. Thank you for your time, and I hope you have a wonderful day.

In reply to Mind Beauty Simplicity. Hey there, I am so glad you enjoyed it! Jeans are a great example. Unless they are actually soiled with something, you can easily wear them multiple times before washing them. I do the same thing with shirts sometimes, depending on how long I wore it, and what I did during the day, and I also do this with shower towels!
