Moneysaving guru Theresa Meyer provides clever ideas for recycling junk.

  • Use packing material underneath throw rugs to prevent it from slipping around.

  • Clean out your refrigerator by tossing away discarded items in a plastic grocery bag.

  • You could also use them to clean out up pet's mess when you take it on a walk.

  • Store uncooked pasta or other dry goods in old soup jars and or glass containers.

  • Re-use the mesh bags that fruits and onions come in as a bow for a gift.
