When I lived in Manhattan I NEVER took them back to the store, but now I do! My mom loves to give me hers, too. Chat Icon

Re: Bottles and Cans....

The only reason I don't is because there is a disabled man in my community who collects them and brings them back, so we pack them separately and leave them out for him.

Re: Bottles and Cans....

I hope I dont sound like a jerk, but for 2 bucks, I am not wasting gas to drive to the store, and stand there in that stinky room where those machines are .

I do recycle though.

That is exactly what we do as well!! The last time I went I made back $5 not too shabby!! I'd rather not throw away my money and since I have to go to the grocery store anyway-it is totally worth it!

Nope, we always bring them back. It's always nice to go return bottles for 10 minutes and have an extra $15-20 to put towards groceries (which I'll shop for since I'm already there)

Re: Bottles and Cans....

I don't anymore- but when I was younger I used to take my parents back- I would return the bottles and then fill up my SUV- at $1.00 a gallon

oh the good old days!

I lived with my boyfriend and his friend for a few yrs and their friends are big drinkers. Probably every few weeks we'd take all the bottles and cans back and get a free case of beer out of it. Not that bad.

When I cleaned I always threw them out though.

seriously, we collect them all until we have a whole sh!tload of them, then return them...
