To keep food fresher, Arm & Hammer recommends opening up a box of baking soda in the fridge and freezer every 30 days.
Do you really need the whole box?
A simple reuse tip:
Refill empty spice containers that were headed for the trash. Glass jars with plastic tops containing holes are ideal. Anything with vents will work. My favorites are from Penzeys Spices.
Re-using spice containers will allow you buy fewer boxes of baking soda by sharing a single box among other containers. It saves money and cardboard.
