Stopped buying trash bags after I switched to old pillowcases

I was going through a box of 30 kitchen bags every 5 weeks. Then I tried using old cotton pillowcases for my bedroom trash. They wash fine. One bag every 2 months now. Anybody else tried fabric liners instead of plastic?

Sounds like a lot of hassle over saving maybe ten bucks a year.

Benk you're totally right and honestly the more I think about it the more I realize I do the same thing all the time. Last week I spent like two hours driving across town to get a slightly cheaper haircut that saved me maybe six bucks and by the time I factored in gas and parking it was probably a wash anyway. It's like I get so focused on the idea of saving money that I completely ignore how much my time is actually worth to me. Sometimes I catch myself browsing three different stores for a deal on something that costs practically nothing and I'm like why am I doing this to myself. The hassle is real and it's almost never worth it when you add up all the little costs you don't think about upfront.
