Okay, I had my laugh for the day. I am sitting here reading all the Mother posts, tears running down my cheeks, and I see this post and thought it said What to do with plastic slacks! I had to look to see why you would have purchased plastic slacks.
I met a woman who crocheted the plastic BAGS into a tote bag. It was really nice.

I found this earlier today about fusing the plastic bags into material to sew.

Yes I too have seen braided rugs mag from. My MIL had one and it wore for years.

Take your extras to Goodwill or other resale shops. They are always needing plastic bags. That's what I do with mine.

I use a lot for cat litter cleaners. One of my cats is a lady-like white Persian who is so fussy, if her box isn't cleaned out twice a day, she'll look me straight in the eye and squat on the bathroom rug!
And I'm now cutting some up and crocheting a rug for in front of the kitchen sink. I'm a messy cook and splash water all over the floor, then fell last week when I slipped in it. I'm thinking if I had two of them, I could wash one in the washer and let it dry outside while using the other.

The WalMart store here has a big box for recycling your bags, if you care to bring them back to the store.

Thanks for all the links!
I usually just use them for small trash bags around the house, and such.
