I'm not green...I'm just cheap! Take 2

I ran into a BARGAIN at our local grocer, 18 pounds of oranges for $3.99!

As I was emptying the last of them into a basket, I thought about how sturdy that little nylon sack was. All of the sudden I had a brilliant idea!
I cut each end off the sack:

Folded the netting accordion style and tied with the nylon drawstring that came with the bag.

It makes an awesome little dish scrubber!
You'd pay 2-3 bucks for one of these at the store.

It also works very well on glass stove tops...

...and the slave labor will work for peeled orange slices!

Ok, THIS I can do. Thanks for the idea.

I did this, but with apples...well, I didn't get the nifty scrubber...but I *did* can 12quarts of apple pie filling... :-) DH loves two kinds of pie--hot, and cold. So he is thrilled.

Good heads up on the orange bag
