I consider myself to be pretty well organized & cost saving when it comes to my home, but what about in our kitchen? Other than my pantry organization obsession, I like a clean kitchen, pantry and I love to save as much money as I can. For the last couple of weeks, I have been using the Reduce Compactor Can. How can a trashcan help you save money? I am able to save money on trash bags by ‘compacting’ my trash. With this said, I don’t go through as many trash bags, so I save money by not having to buy as many.

Our thoughts

• I have to say that when I first saw the Reduce Compactor Can, I had a few thoughts going through my mind. The first was ‘will this trash can really work like it shows?’ My answer = yes! All during the day, we go through things that need to be thrown away; the trash can filled closer to the top, right? What do you do, usually, when it gets to the top? You take the trash bag out of the trash can, set it at the back door for hubby to take out. What? That’s what I do. Well, instead of going through our average one trash bag a day, now, with the Reduce Compactor Can, we go through an average of one trash bag every 2-3 days because we are able to push the top down to compact our trash in the bag to get more trash in the bag. Why throw away money? Sure, there are trash bags out there (that cost a lot more than we pay, I might add), but why buy the expensive bags when you can still do what we do – buy the generic, cheaper trash bags and use them in your Reduce Compactor Can, compact your trash in the bags that you already have and are saving money on, then you can take the trash out when your bag is really full? You don’t need to spend a lot of cash on expensive trash bags when you really need is a compactor trash can that can do a lot of things:
  1) be pretty in your kitchen, unlike that ugly plastic thing that doesn’t match anything, You tell me, what looks better?
  
  2) compact your trash so you can get more trash inside each trash bag
  3) save money in the end by not having to buy more trash bags or those expensive ones that claim to ‘save you money, yet you spend more to fit more trash inside them because they are thicker plastic, yet we can manually squeeze more inside and pray it won’t break.’.
  4) I love that the kids can take things to the trash can without my having to worry with hurt, smooshed fingers. The lid on the Reduce Compactor Can closes slowly so no more smashed fingers!
• How much is the Reduce Compactor Can? It is right around $169. Do I think this is worth it? I cannot express how much I believe it IS worth it. Just last year, for Christmas, we bought mother-in-law a stainless steel trashcan for twice this amount, and it does not compact, nor is it as pretty! I love mine far more than the one that we bought last year for her.
• All in all, we love adore the Reduce Compactor Can. Everything about it is beyond impressive!
