Do you save your plastic shopping bags? - Page 2

post #11 of 25

I save mine. I use them for dirty diapers, put clothes in them that I donate to the thrift store, kids use them sometimes when they want to take something to Grandmas house,  and take them to the pool in the summer to put wet suits in. Probably other used too that I can't think of right now.

Great ideas!  As a mommy of a 1 YO, the idea to stick a few in the diaper bag for soiled clothes is great!  That's one of those "why didn't I think of that!" moments for me!  Clearly, this is why I LOVE mommysavers!!!! smile.gif

We use ours in place of trash bags in the kitchen and bathrooms.  I store them in an empty tissue box and you can just pull one out at a time.

I save mine too, I have a bag storage thingy that hangs on the wall in my kitchen.  Right now it is so full, I have some sitting on the kitchen counter behind the coffee maker.  I use them as bags to hold food until I bring it to the compost pile, line garbage cans, DH using them as lunch bags.

 

Good idea about putting them in the diaper bag, I'm going to start doing that.

Yes, we always use our plastic bags when I clean out our litter boxes. They are also good for when I'm cleaning the bathroom because we don't have a garbage in there.

We save ours.  We have them in a container made for this purpose hanging in the basement stairwell.   We use them to line small trash cans and what ever else that we can.

We store ours under the kitchen sink. I try to use reusable bags, but a quarter of the time I forget, so I still manage to accumulate them.

 

We use them for many of the uses that others have said, but we also use paper bags as storage for our recyclable items. I sometimes use plastic bags instead of ziplock bags (not as convenient, but it still does the job) and try to reuse the plastic produce bags from the grocery store when I go to the farmers market.

I bring cloth bages to the grocery store, but sometimes I forget them, especially if I make an uplanned stop on the way home from work. My pantry is an open shelf and I hang one bag on the corner post of it, and put the other bags in it. I use them to line bathroom waste baskets and for cleaning cat boxes.

I keep them in an old baby wipe container.

I use them in the car, for my small trashcans in all the bathrooms (I have not bought small trash bags in YEARS), and a ton of other uses...already mentioned redface.gif
