We go thru so many of these especially in the summer when we take numerous salads to picnics & parties, and if we happen to leave it there, oh well! I will be buying the larger sponges with the big zip tight freezes bags for that purpose of course!
But, I can only imagine the $ I'll save! How many of those fancy lunchbox ice blocks end up in the school's cafeteria garbage? Once my daughter even threw her change purse full of money into the garbage! Actually, I think she did it more than that. Obviously, we quit sending money in with her for lunch after that. It is so much easier to just refill their lunch $ accounts with a monthly check! If only school lunches tasted better. The new Federal Laws are helping to make them healthier, but not that much! All those foods made with canned & preservative filled foods! YUCK!
As I was reading this blog, I immediately thought of my Mother. She recently injured her foot and needed to purchase an Ice Pack, to ice her foot throughout the day to reduce the swelling. Unfortunately, she lives on a very tight budget. So when she went to the store to buy one, she couldn't imagine spending so much money. It was way beyond her budget! I recommended to her something my Girl Scout Troop learned while earning their Safety Badge. Using a zip tight bag with water and placing it in the freezer to have handy for emergency uses. My Mother was concerned about how hard & un-conforming this would be. This would solve that problem! I am sure that within a couple of minutes the sponges would defrost to a point that would allow it to be wrapped in a dish towel and place on your swollen appendage! I can't wait to share this with our local Fire Department Safety Instructor & my Girl Scout Troop! Of course my Mother too!
This was my first time visiting this blog site, but it looks like a good one! It is amazing how many bloggers are out there with incredibly great ideas. I'll keep sharing the great ones as I find them!
