The plastic bag drawer

Mrder37

As I took a plastic bag out of my packed to tightly bag drawer it got me thinking is this just an Irish thing or do all you other lovely people all over the world stuff you're bags in a drawer that clearly has to many bags to begin with

I do the same thing! And I have a bag hanger too, which is full as well.

I don't know about plastic bags but I'm sure every house has a 'bits and bobs' drawer....batteries, candles, screws, packets of seeds, glue, anything you can't think of anywhere else to put!!!

I keep mine under the sink. I keep the sandwich bags, aluminum foil, and wax paper in a drawer though.

I definitely have a 'bits and bobs' drawer (or two).

I have a bag of bags on a shelf in my pantry, I use them to line small waste bins. If I get overwhelmed with them I bring them to the recycling drop off.

yes.

but, if you are inclined to do so, you can make one.

Nope, I recycle the ones I get when I forget my reusable bags. I hate the clutter and wasted space of a bag drawer.

Used to have a plastic bag drawer in US. Also in Pakistan. But in Saudi Arabia I got a bag that holds more bags.

'Bits & bobs drawer' - love that! Going to start referring to mine as that instead of the 'junk' drawer!

Mrder37

It's good of you to feed the upside down shopping trolleys

I have a drawer just as described but pack larger bags towards the back. When the drawer gets full, I take one of the larger bags out and stuff it to the gills with all the other bags and put it in my Jeep to take to the grocery store next time I'm out which has a recycle bin for plastic bags out front.

My junk drawer is almost empty these days.

Murphy's law says that the instant I run out of batteries, my daughter's favorite electronic toy will die and a tantrum will ensue. I keep stocked in batteries, too, if only to dodge avoidable screaming sessions.

They can also be stuffed into an empty tissue box and pulled back out one at time when needed.

I have a plastic bag...bag.
my kitchen is too small to give up an entire drawer!

I have a drawer for all my sandwich, gallon, quart, etc bags and then I have a fabric holder in the laundry room dedicated to all my plastic grocery bags. I recycle those when I clean out the litter box :sick:

Nope, not just an Irish thing. Every time I open it, I think damn I have too many bags.

Every shared house or flat I have every lived in in the UK has had a plastic bag drawer. In the Netherlands not so much.

I always bring a cotton bag or two with me when I go shopping, so I never have plastic bags.

clydethecat

i use the plastic bag from the grocery to pick up dog poo, so i put them in a big plastic bag on a hook on the front door.

well i have a cat that has a plastic bag fetish, so he would destroy the plastic bag the plastic bags were in.

so now i have a big paper bag that holds all the plastic bags. works wonders

We used to use a drawer, but now we keep them in the utility closet.

lizzybethclaire

I keep mine in a specific place in my closet for cat poop so I don't have to buy bags.
