As I get older, I'm trying to make a conscious effort to produce a little less waste. I cut back on my paper towel usage by swapping them for microfiber towels, and now I've switched from plastic single-use sandwich and gallon bags to reusable silicone bags. One of the most popular brands for reusable bags is Stasher. I've wanted Stasher bags for years, which shows I'm getting old—my wish list is no longer purses and shoes, but vacuums and kitchen essentials. However, Stasher bags are not exactly cheap. I first got a set of more budget-friendly reusable bags but was then sent Stasher bags a few weeks after I'd purchased my own.
