Did you know that tea bags can be used for more than just making a cup of tea? Or that coffee grounds can be put to use around your home and garden once you've brewed your morning coffee?Fun Fact* - I've never tried coffee. Ever. 😂 Our local Starbucks and a couple of local cafes do save their coffee grounds though so I do often manage to pick up a bag or two from their 'take what you need' baskets. *OK, not so much fun but it's definitely a fact.
