The plastic bag drawer

Cindy311

I have a giant plastic bag where I stuff all of the other plastic bags in, haha! Eventually it makes its way to the supermarket for recycling then I curse as I realize I didn't leave one bag in the house :noway:

TheRoadDog

We call it a "junk drawer" and mine has twitie ties, bags, screwdrivers, change. Most anything that'll fit and doesn't have a designated storage.

I stuff the plastic bags under the sink!

haha I have a bag bag. All my plastic bags are stuffed into another plastic bag. We really have to saving them now though....the county that I live in has passed a new law making all stores CHARGE you for each plastic bag. It's in an effort to get people to bring in reusable bags instead which is good..but it's still a little annoying lol.

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

We have a very large paper bag (meant for recycables) over filled with plastic bags. We mainly use them for cat poo as well. What we are trying to use it as is a reminder to bring the darn resuable totes to the grocery store and avoid getting more bags.

I cram mine into an empty garbage bag dispenser, and keep it under the sink. Nary a drawer can be wasted in a tiny city apartment.

I mostly use re-usable bags though. Saves a ton of hassle with recycling.

That's a good idea. I'd like it brought to Texas : ). While visiting NY over vacation, I saw a similar program with the recycling. They are charged a fee for each bottle/can/plastic (?) bought and are refunded when they recycle them. It's great. We don't have that in Texas either.

I bought the big bags to recycle but now there just full of plastic bags as well I think it's an invasion

I keep a big bag of bags in the laundry room!

Sandwich bags, foil, and wax paper go in a cabinet...

American girl here, and my bag drawer is so full of bags that I can barely close it.

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

Holy crap.

Holy crap.

My reaction, too. First, I was like, "That's genius!" Then, I was like, "LOL. OMG. You waste your time doing that???" The Kleenex box thing is still pretty cute, though. And, yes, to the OP. I think everyone who reuses bags.

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:

This. I use the grocery bags for the small bathroom garbage also.

jnichel

i dump my bags in rivers and lakes.

I should start doing that after I let the neighborhood kids play with them.

limesublime

Hell yes, those plastic grocery bags are so handy!

RhonndaJ

be actually have a bag for that.

allsturns

I used to have a drawer full of them...but now the welsh government insist on us paying for our carrier bags they go straight back into my car instead.

pseudomuffin

I have them all stuffed into a tall box in my pantry since the maid uses them

summer8it

All my plastic grocery bags go under the sink, behind the trash can, because they get used to line the trash can. There's a kleenex box under there somewhere, but the bags have exploded beyond it and are just a huge pile. How do I have so many bags when I use reusable ones for all my grocery shopping, I have no idea....

There's also a bag drawer where I save paper bags, bread bags, plastic produce bags, etc. They do get used on a regular basis.

And here's a random stroke of genius I stole from a friend: I place a few sheets of newspaper at the bottom of the kitchen trash can, underneath the plastic bag. If something nasty leaks out, no problem, I just throw out that paper and line it with fresh newspaper.

I want a maid!!!.......esp one who will use all my bags in the bag

Mrder37

I'm gonna do Disney s up only with plastics bags so long suckers

You sir, are a GENIUS!




(......runs to empty a kleenex box, starts a new thread about what to do with loose kleenex......)

We used to have one of these:

I have one like this, but it looks like a cow. It hangs in my pantry.

We used to have one of these:

I have one of these, but it's full, so I also have another plastic bag filled with plastic bags hanging next to it. When it gets to be too much, I take 'em back to the store for recycling, but I typically go through quite a few cleaning up after the cats. Seven cats, seven litterboxes... that's a lot of scooping.

BrettPGH

Can't see the bag, guess it'll only make sense if you've seen that episode of 30 Rock.

And if you don't watch 30 Rock you probably wouldn't know funny any damn way.

UsedToBeHusky

Sadly, my bags occupy my kitchen table, the WHOLE kitchen table. I was planning to take them to get recycled and have yet to do it. *sigh*

millions0fpeaches

I have a bag full o' bags. And a junk drawer full of assorted things... but as a Passion Parties consultant, my batteries are stock piled in my office.

butterfli7o

Yup, I have a plastic bag drawer. The bags are mostly used for dumping out the litterbox. I have WAY too many bags crammed in there.
