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

Oh No!!! Did we really have to go there? :lol:

ROFL!!

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.

ROFLWTIME! Thanks for the unexpected laugh!

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.
