Stop Throwing Them Away! Here Are 2 Easy and Cheap Ideas to Give Them New Life
Every day, we toss out things that still have plenty of life left in them — from food scraps to household items. But what if you could turn your “trash” into something useful, creative, and budget-friendly? Instead of throwing things away, why not repurpose them into something valuable?
1. Turn Stale Bread into Delicious Homemade Croutons
Don’t Toss It — Toast It!
That old loaf of bread sitting on your counter? Don’t toss it! Instead, turn it into golden, crispy homemade croutons — perfect for soups, salads, or snacking.
What You Need:
- Stale bread (any kind: white, whole wheat, sourdough, etc.)
 - 2–3 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
 - Seasonings of choice (garlic powder, salt, pepper, dried herbs like oregano or thyme)
 
How to Make:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
 - Cut the stale bread into cubes (about 1-inch pieces).
 - Toss the cubes with olive oil or melted butter in a large bowl.
 - Add your favorite seasonings and mix well.
 - Spread the cubes on a baking sheet in a single layer.
 - Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden and crispy, tossing halfway through.
 - Let cool and store in an airtight container for up to a week.
 
Bonus Tip: These croutons also make a great topping for casseroles or even homemade stuffing!
2. Repurpose Citrus Peels into Natural All-Purpose Cleaner
Fresh Smell, Zero Waste!
After juicing or eating an orange, lemon, or lime, you’re likely tossing the peel — but don’t! Citrus peels contain powerful natural oils that can be transformed into a chemical-free cleaner for your home.
