A Frugal Bathtub Alternative

sabelle has a sharp, entrepreneurial mind. She's always looking for ways to make a buck or save a buck. (So proud of that girl!!) So when she came up with a nifty bathtub alternative idea, Eric and I were all ears.
The cost for this alternative bathtub? Oh, about 5 cents.
The materials? Two free boxes from Sam's Club, one commercial garbage bag, one household garbage bag and about 3 dozen staples.

The result?
I know what you're thinking because I thought it too - that can't possibly work! No way will it hold water.
But it did! Well then, what good is a "bathtub" if you can't actually bathe in it, right?As long as you are under 5, you can absolutely bathe in this tub!
And clean up is a breeze too. Just use a shop vac to get rid of all the water, let it air dry, and store until next time.

Creating a bathtub out of cardboard boxes and garbage bags is a brilliantly frugal idea, don't you think?

No? Well, maybe not, but spending the day creating a project and having fun together is certainly a finer thing!
