I have a bunch of these for camping and felt really bad about tossing them and buying new. They just feel like they need to be refilled.

I just watched a youtube video and now consider ordering the adapter. So excited to try this.

Trying to avoid the convenient cooking spray we usually bought, we bought a refillable glass spray we fill with our oil we refill from bulk at PCC.

Brought both empty containers to PCC for a refill. I am a bit sensitive to intense scents, so I went with their baby wash. I smells very mild and calming. The shampoo works great, was just a bit hard to pump from their bulk container. I tried to do a pint each to try it out. So far I like it.

I refilled the body wash once before with a Grapefruit body wash from Basic but paid over $20. I have a $10 price sensitivity for a body wash. The Grapefruit one smelled really nice and made me happy, but the price tag just felt very steep. 

I'm bringing a bunch of fabric bags and some mason jars to bulk sections. Oatmeal paper tube gets filled up again with oatmeal. They all have their tar weight written on with sharpie. I fill them and at the cash register I tell them the code when they pick up the item. I keep one sheet, usually a paper bag, with all the codes, so it goes fairly quickly.

Feeling lucky our friend told us about a good source for some occasional beef cravings. We got ground and steaks for special occasions from Lightning RR Ranch 2019 Angus Beef.
Pastured Grass Fed in Methow Valley , 100% grass, no antibiotics, no grain, no hormones. USDA Processed. Beef available by individual cut, family/variety packs, or quarter/half.

We will track how often the kids empty our 5 gallon trash bins.

We will also go vegetarian every other month, so February, April, June, and see how that feels. Going all meatless felt great, but we definitely ate more carbs, which isn't a good diet for us. I do have some anti-histamine allergies and can't eat legumes, nightshades and soy - quinoa seems to be one source for protein, but we pretty much reduced what we buy to chicken, turkey, salmon and shrimp on the months we do eat meat.

We are also looking for a plug in hybrid to replace our old loyal minivan. We don't want to buy anything new and phev are not often to be found used yet, so we will need to wait for the right opportunity.

We reuse all of our gift wrapping for every occasion. Once in a while I pick one up from Good will if I run out of a specific size. We received some Amazon gift wrapping these Holidays, so we will have some new bags to add to our gift wrapping box.

It feels really good to reuse them in a very intentional way and most of our friends do the same and even return the gift bags after unpacking. Sometimes bags stay behind at another house but then return with a gift with the next visit.

And yes, I also reuse the stuffing paper and keep a bag full of it, so I won't have to buy any anytime soon.

These are all the gifts Sarah received. So, all gifts like the lip balm kit, bath bombs, painting supplies and basketball on the left side are all from Goodwill, I scorched after seeing the on Sarah's wishlist. The middle in the back are all edibles. The clothing was also from Goodwill (Forever21), so only the cat items and the journal we got new. So, about 20/80 % retail/thrift.

Main item she wished for was a Hydroflask she picked herself at PCC - which will accompany her for a while after she outgrew her grade school water bottles. Still a luxury item, but at least with many many future uses.
