Food Banks are in need of the bags.
|
My friend crochets bags from them, but prefers just the colored ones. I save them and take them to the local thrift store or use them when I have garage sale or craft sales.
|
I line my small trash cans with them and also, when I am cutting up items in the kitchen..instead of sending them down the garbage disposal, I put the scraps in the bags, tie them and place in garbage can. Also, in watching my grandbaby..I like to put dirty diapers in a bag and tie it up before disposing of them. I used to take my lunch to work with me. Hope these are useful ideas for you.

I cut them into strips and crochet totes, they are waterproof and virtually will never wear out.
|
make plastic "thread" (fold the bag across, cut off handle part and sealed bottom part and cut into strips any width from 1/2" or larger, open into loops and interlock the loops into continuous length, roll into balls and crochet or knit w/ it) and make things. Ive made a trash basket and smaller baskets to use on tables. sharet

(Just kidding! ;) ) I actually use a lot of those sacks for freezing hamburger. I'm getting pretty good at tossing in a pound, twisting it tight, flipping it and double 'bagging' from the top and tying it off. Cheaper than freezer bags, especially when the hamburger doesn't last that long anyway. |
Try donating them to your local school.When I was working last year alot of students forgot their bookbags and so we sent home their papers in the plastic grocery bags.

I basically reuse mine as wastebasket liners/trashbags. Large ones sometimes get reused as storage bags. |
I give some to my friend whose husband is incontinent and some I keep for kitty little clean up. Also keep small appliances in them so they don't get dusty in the shelves in my laundry room.
