Bottle Exchange

We don't buy beverages in a bottle regularly.  It took us a year to save up all these refundables. Yesterday my oldest and I were looking for a few things to do while her sister was selling Girl Guide Cookies and this seemed like a good chore.
We got a whopping $12, but hey, its something. Slow and steady wins the race.  I am always surprised on garbage days when I see people have bottles in their blue bags at the trash.  Each one is a nickel, I know, not much, but throwing them in our utility room for a year and getting $12 back is worth holding on to them to us.
I had a large bag from when Toyota changed my tires and used that, it was huge. I also re-used two blue bags from large items I picked up at a yard sale in the summer.
I have decided though that we will take them back more often now as it was the whole trunk space.  I have a laundry basket that has a small crack on it, this will now be for bottles. It is easy to put in the trunk and I think will hold a few months worth.
My husband makes our beer and wine. We buy juice in concentrate in the can, and for the kids' lunch boxes we use water bottles.
