Maximize Efficiency

Ok, I'll admit it.

I'm a sucker for efficiency.

I am the person who will google maps multiple routes to see which one is the shortest or is the quickest with traffic layer (trafficlayerisamazing).

Sure I'm no mathematical whiz, but that's why I love those "cost per ounce" comparisons at the grocery store to get the most bang for my buck.
If I could adhere only one adage/expression/idiom to myself it would be "kill two birds with one stone".

Let's face it, the only thing better than winning, is win-winning.

So I certainly got a tickle out of the recent blog from Re-Nest showcasing a neat way to re-use those normally hard to recycle plastic bottle caps.

Apparently it is as easy as:
1. Cutting off the top of a plastic bottle (obviously I assume you all use a Klean Kanteen, but on the off chance you stumble upon one of these poor suckers)
2. Pulling a plastic bag up through the neck of the bottle, folding the bag down over the neck, and replacing the lid.

Viola! A air or water tight seal for your Kirkland signature brand goodies you bought in bulk...because you love efficiency and therefore a good deal!

My favorite thing about this post and consequent re-post on LifeHacker was the follow up comment by StinkyPetethePirate:

Why not just pour the contents of the bag into the empty water bottle, seems like a lot less work

Efficiency to the point of laziness?

True or False: After reading Shopaholic & Sister by Sophie Kinsella, I may or may not have reused coffee grinds. Sure sure, some might say there is a thin line between efficiency and frugality, I say who cares when all paths lead to WIN WINNING?

Spoiler Alert: Don't think I don't realize the irony in utilizing a plastic bag to re-use a plastic bottle cap. Boy am I excited to tell you about this cool product I saw at the last UniqueLA show.


**and yes, I made that gorgeous piece of MS Paint Art. This is why bumbleboy won't let me into near the product designs.
