What do you do with your plastic grocery bags?

I made my holder out of a dish towel.

Sew the sides together to make a long tube. Fold the ends over elastic and sew. Sew a piece of ribbon looped over, to one end (for hanging).
 

I fold them up like the lady describes in the bottom of the blog post. http://mousechirpy-polkadotpineapple.blogspot.com/2009/03/grandmothers-apron-carryall.html
I showed my Mom and she does it all the time now, too. It makes it easy to carry a couple in your purse, and they take up a lot less space.

Here's another idea:

And now I am sitting here folding plastic bags... I tried one to see if I could do it like the picture and found its kind of therapeutic, so now I have a small pile accumulated. :rotfl:
 
I have an old large popcorn tin that I use to store my all my plastic grocery bags. I use the bags themselves for all sorts of things. I use them for small wastebaskets, scooping the cat box, cleaning up after the dog outside, cleaning up garbage in my car...

I use to use them to wrap stinky diapers but the kids are long since out of diapers. :)
 
I have one of thos cloth sacks that you store them in. It is great! Holds a ton of bags. I prefer to only keep and reuse the stronger type of bags (Target and mall stores) but DH puts every kind in there :confused3

Anyways it keeps them all contained so no pile of bags under the sink :)

I got mine from a school fundraiser a few years back. I always try to look for stuff I can use if I order. This was worth the money. If you're crafty and can sew they are prob not hard to sew yourself.






Oh, I do like the idea of reuising the tissue box and keeping in the car. I might have to try that !!!
 
we have a cloth one too, i've seen them at walmart before..we use our for kitty litter and for my son's poop diapers. which go straight outside so they don't stink up the house..
