Taming Your Plastic Bags!
A couple of years ago when I first found Pinterest, I found a pin on how to fold your grocery bags. Brilliant!
We recycle our grocery bags by using them as our trash can liners. They fit perfectly in our kitchen and bathroom trash cans. I had already bought a bag holder, which is attached to the door under the kitchen sink.
We all know that wadded up paper or plastic takes up more space than flattened paper or plastic. The bag holder, which was overflowing, quickly became neat and surprisingly, there was so much more space!
The pin I originally found showed folding the bag into fourths, but that created an even more compact package. I found that folding my grocery bags into thirds created the perfect size for my bag holder. Department store bags are sometimes larger and I might need to fold those into fourths.
No, my family does not see the need for folding the bags and often teases me about it, but I love the order.
