Is it infuriating my disabled, food-allergy having ass who doesn't live near a grocery store within walking distance on a good day has to order groceries from Amazon in order to survive? Yes. Do their new silver-foil insulation bags for frozen things mean I now have free wrapping paper for birthdays and holidays? Also yes

#frugal #not sure how i feel about those insulation bags they almost certainly aren't recyclable regardless of what the bag says #and i normally go for eco-friendly wrapping paper like just brown kraft paper or spam mail newspaper #but the foil insulation bags were going in the trash anyway so might as well give them one more use in life before that #sigh even if the bags were recyclable this apartment complex doesn't have recycling #also eco-friendly or not wrapping paper is such a scam #hell the eco-friendly wrapping paper should be cheaper because there's no foil or glitter or decor #but naturally the recyclable plain paper wrapping paper is 3x the cost of plastic coated wrapping paper #make it make sense #anyway PSA with the holidays coming up: most wrapping paper isn't recyclable so don't put it in the recycling bin #non-recyclable things in the recycling bin means the entire neighborhoods recycling gets thrown out #so all the recyclable things end up in the landfill regardless of intent
